Blissful Ignorance

The cold, gushing water made me shiver. The force of the rushing water threatened to sweep me off, but I held firmly to a rock.

I plunged into the water but saw only sand particles as the rays of sunlight made them glitter. I marvelled at my elder brothers’ ability to swim with the fishes.

Those were marvellous, enchanted days as we revelled in the innocence of childhood.
