Little children are always daring enough to risk
their life to achieve a goal. There was this one time in my village as a 3 year old boy when I sneaked
in to our grass thatched kitchen. I wondered in admiration how I could make perfect use of that fire which for some reason looked really nice to play with. Just
a description of this fire place; There were three large stones placed in a
triangular shape on one side of this hut. With fire wood stacked in between
these stones and fire lit, a pot of something was boiling (I don’t remember
what exactly it was).
My inquisitive nature led me to picking up
a long strand of grass from God knows where and pushing it into the fire. Upon
catching, I raised it up to the roof and my oh my oh my, I liked what I saw.
The grass roof had just caught fire. My excitement level was beyond imagination because I had
never seen anything like that. I was beaming with joy, looking at the burning
roof, laughing and celebrating my achievement of setting this hut ablaze. But
wait a minute…. the roof was about to collapse on me. For some reason, I
believed I was safe. From nowhere, my super hero father appeared just in the nick
of time to save me from the falling roof. I survived death by a whisker. I came
out of that place alive and today, I say thank you dad for carrying me out of
that place.
Who is that person that has saved you during the toughest of times? Just say a big THANK YOU to them today.
