| Fire on bamboo |
A nursing-mother
says about her daughter after her elopement. I am suffering physically and mentally
leaving my daughter eloped with her lover. She will be tired even when she runs
along the playing ball with sweet voice of her play mates. Now she is walking
with her Man. She fell in the magic net of her Man’s words. She didn’t think of
my pain. When sun heats attack the bamboos in the hill forest will get
fire. Its spark will destroy the forest. To tread on such an arid track is difficult
for ordinary people. Can her tender is capable of treading on? Fresh Kongam
flowers will fall in ground by blowing wind. They will appear as stars in
ground in night time. Men guarding the millet field will throw fire-balls to
drive away elephants approaching to eat. Those flowers on ground will also
appear the fire-balls thrown. Is she capable treading on such a cheating place,
she worried.
