The little boy watched as everybody licks their ice cream. In his mind he wonders what could be that food everybody’s licking so hard. They all looked delighted though he thought. It must be very good came another thought. And the little boy nudge her mother’s skirt and tried to get her attention. He was lucky. His mother noticed him at once and asked what his darling little boy wanted. He pointed at the ice cream in a cone so his mother immediately bought one.

As soon as the ice cream in a cone was given to the little boy, he walked away from the little crowd and sat. At first he stared at it unbelieving that it was already in his hands waiting to be licked at. Nervously, he let out his tongue and slowly let it touch the ice cream and hesitated. Confused at the initial feeling he decided to make a go and let out the whole tongue. He licked the ice cream.

The little boy threw the ice cream at once which surprised his mother and everybody around. He was yelling, “Hot! hot!”

Call her Diana. When everybody sulks at how they look, you will not see her feeling sorry for herself. She believes that she is still the beautiful Diana, star of the show. She never goes out of her house plain. Everything has to be swanky. Even going to the wet market has to be with stylish clothes – white cotton shirt donned with trendy denims and pricey rubber shoes, sunspecs and buntal hats.

FRESH MANGO TAPIOCA

Wide-eyed, she stared at the little tapiocas swimming afloat the mango puree. The three-year old, with her bubbliness, was silent.
