Renuka and Gomita aged 12 and 10 were daughters of
vegetable vendor at Poorna market. One afternoon, the children asked their father to give
them money so that they could go to the exhibition that evening. Their father replied,
"Children, I don't have that much money to give you, so, its better you go for a walk
on the sea-shore". |
One evening both the sisters got ready to go to the beach. Being summer, it was
pleasant to walk on the beach with the soft cool breeze blowing and they walked hand-in-hand. |

They
completely forgot their disappointment and were in high spirits while they watched the
waves in the sea, children playing with balls on the sand, a few boys & girls
wetting their feet while sitting on the rocks, 3 horses galloping with children on
their backs along with the horsemen and some children along with
their elders building sand
castles. |
The two girls had real fun, and played in the water for sometime.
When they
were tired, they sat on the steps near the pavement. They bought 2 raw mango pieces, 2
bajjis and 'moori' mixture worth 5 Rupees. |
