A crying little girl taught me the most beautiful game that I really liked, and this is one that you can play any time amidst a lot of laughter! It was the Christmas break . At this time perhaps the children are even more hurt by loneliness. I went to one of the sad little girls, she was aged between 5-6 years old-unfortunately nobody came to visit her-I smiled at her mischievously and asked her : “Will you come and play ?” ( You never ask an orphan what the problem is , because there are always problems and why remind her of a sore point , they are easily opened ! ) The tiny child’s eyes lit up , and she said : “ Lets play that you find me !” My eyes opened wide , I thought of many different games , but not quite like this one. I quickly found the rules, I picked up the little girl, I threw her high up into the air , and in the mean time I was delighted saying gee how great it is that I found her ! She was laughing heartily and tried to catch my neck that meant a safe haven for her .Of course I did not let her . Feeling happy about finding her I threw her up a few more times, high up in the air then panting I put my arms around her . The little orphaned girl , that nobody looked up at Christmas, nor rand her on the phone just laughed and laughed , then smiling she asked me :” “Are you also glad , because you found me ?”
The years passed , the little girl became a happily settled mother . I could not solve her problem regarding her parents , but I managed to help her through a difficult , sad time of her life. And now when we meet , even if I don't throw her up in the air laughing, we still play how great it is that we found each other in this World !
