116 'Don't Point, Darling'

"Everyone"s laughing at me," Lina sighed.

"No they're not, you're imagining it," Tina smiled back so as to express her genuineness in her answer.

Just as Tina said this, a woman walked past with a small child. The child stopped directly in front of Lina and stared open mouthed. "Mummy, look at that girl's hair," the child shouted as she pointed his finger towards Lina.

"Don't point, darling," the mother asked her child immediately.

"But, mummy look!" The child spoke again.

"Yes, I can see sweetheart, I can see. Move out of her way now, please," the mother spoke again, and her expressions clearly showed that she herself was trying to control her laughter.

"But, mummy!" child shouted again.

"Ruth, dont be rude! Now come here," the lady knew that things were getting out of hand.
