If you had not had a very careful eye
You could miss the little cloud
In the north-eastern sky.

Suddenly within a twinkle of an eye
The dark patch covered the whole sky
With thunder-burst again and again
A storm burst out with an outpouring of rain.

The little girl got worried and told her mother
About her deep concern for her father:
"Mum, dad is getting forgetful and old
And this time he will surely catch cold
If he gets wet ,and he will be down with fever.
And do you know he did never
Get tired telling me the same story again and again.
But when in this pouring rain,
Forgetful as he was, he did not take his umbrella
If he gets fever who'll tell me the story of Cinderella?

Her dad got back home dry and fit like a fiddle.
While he was standing in the middle
The daughter's concern for her father
Was elaborately told to him by her mother.

Hearing all that the happy father
Chirpily said to the mother :
"Oh, what a wonderful daughter, she has filled up my heart."
Her mother parried: "Who did drain and empty out your heart?"

The husband raised his eyebrows and looked at her wife
Otherwise a terrifically good partner in his life .

He was a little curious :" What on earth is the matter?"
Is this woman a little jealous of her daughter?
Without any answer ,he just gave her a smile
Rather a little quizzical smile.

She could only look on her husband's half hidden profile..
She was musically happy
She was whimsically happy
And she happily mused
And got herself terribly amused.
And she thought of him as much
And she thought of her as much
Her daughter loves the man she loves so much.
