Sometimes, kids stun us with their ingenuity. Few days back, I saw this incredible scenario, that moved me. I was strolling on a neighborhood park. The high-wind had snapped some limbs of the ash and eucalyptus limbs dotting the lawn. The turf was strewn with countless fallen twigs. My attention was drawn towards a tiny tot in red dress. My gaze followed her and what I observed left me bemused. The kid dug the wet earth with a wooden peg and planted the twig in it. I must say, as long as such discerning kids hold the future of this vulnerable world, the scenario is optimistic.
