unforgettable!

I was upset about something I don't remember, and was crossing the street to get into my car parked near a school in Adyar. Suddenly this school boy appeared right in front of my way. Realizing I would have tripped, or the speeding car from the opposite direction would have hit us both, I frowned and shouted at him and then crossed the road.

2-3 minutes later, the same boy appeared before me and in an innocent & polite yet firm voice said, "uncle, everybody can make a mistake!"

For few seconds I was speecless, and then realizing my mistake, I apologized.

I wanted to hug this kid and buy him some candy, but he had already left.
