Hide and seek at the yellow stones….
I love to
play hide and seek. It is my favorite game. I play hide and seek with my
sisters and my friends who reside in neighborhood . While playing we hide in dark corners of
our houses and gardens. We often continue our game till it gets quite dark.
My mother
sometimes gets infuriated thinking that we may get bitten by some poisonous
insect or snakes in the dark. But we children don’t listen her.
At the back
of my house there is a strange bush with bright red flowers. My sisters called
it magic bush. Beside the magic bush there is shallow pit which is spread with yellow stones.
During our
hide and seek game I would often hide in it. And to my surprise I found that
nobody was getting me. I found the place really fascinating.
And then onward I would hide there to escape the attention of my playmates.
And lo…the
place was really unique. I was standing on yellow stones, but no one was
looking at me. My elder sister passed beside me with searching eyes. She stood
beside me for the while but she didn't bother to catch me.
Next day
during the play standing at the yellow stone I hushed in my sister’s ear while
she was passing beside me. Amazed she turned to my side but without any
reaction she just walked away.
That evening I was
fully convinced that the yellow stone pit behind the red bush held some magical power which made people
invisible.
I had been rejoicing on my discovery.Intoxicated with my enthusiastic search I started making the list with whom I would share it or with whom I would keep it a secret…
Till the
same evening I caught my sisters…. laughing and discussing about my amazed
expression and how they had been fooling me for weeks…
