memory perfect

three kids running around in blue, green, and one in no underwear! they jumped and hopped and each one smeared sand on their body. one rolled on the burning sand and the two dived on him and for a while i saw kid wrestlers. then they got up and jumped into the sea. from where i was, i could just see their little heads with the body not visible because of the slope which leads to the water. they were back, water shining on their dark bodies. they threw themselves on sand, rolled, stopped talking, and then i waited for their next action. by this time i observed i wasn't the only spectator, a black and off white colored dog also joined me. the boys got up, two of them buried the third one's feet in the sand and then threw sand on his crotch, he yelped, and chased the other two, and boxed them, and the next moment they were pals again! they sat one behind the other in a row and sand bathed each other :-) i could not see their dark bodies anymore, except for the neck and face, and they ran and jumped again in the water.

some years later in life, when one of them, or i hope all of them, visit this spot, they will remember the gleeful time they spent here. it's so important to have such friends, and such fun, and such memories!

i forgot to carry my cell today, else would have captured them in a video. but what i saw today is already etched in my mind - it's memory [not picture] perfect :-)
