Meeting Head On
I look up to find people watching me with eager looks making me frown. I stop and look at the people in question. A young boy comes running to me with a small withered flower. He bashfully lifts the flower to me and waits.
I squat down and gently take the withered flower while saying "Thank you very much... Why is this handsome young man giving me such a lovely flower?" The little boy blushes and takes off running with a smile.
I watch him with confusion. The people witnessing the whole thing chuckle and give me warm smiles as an older woman walks to me. "We call him Sammy. He is one of the orphans here and he doesn't speak but he seems like a good boy. All the children seem to like the lady boss." She says with a warm smile.
