Toddler's Wonder
Curious Sparks, Adventures in Curiosity
My nephew, Hassan, was very active and curious just like cats. He loved to touch everything up close.
Shoes, socks, dust bins, and toilet seat means anything. His age was two years but the wonder and curiosity in his eyes was deeper than the sea.
Sockets attracted him. One day he pushed his finger inside a socket, the electric shock picked him up and threw him away.
He screamed. We all ran to see what happened. He was shocked and surprised by this feat of electricity. After that day, the holes in all the sockets were covered with adhesive tape.

The Devil Gets What He Wanted
“Hello Old Scratch. My name is Glabon. I assume you know why I am here?” “Of course, Glabon, as you no doubt know, I know many things, most in fact.” “Well, despite that I am required by my superiors to inform you of my intentions in any case.” “And, you always do what you are told don’t you my friend Glabon?” “Of course, and I am not your friend, nor are you anyone’s friend, but that matters not for purposes of this discussion.” “No need to hurl insults, it was only a figure of speech. I would suggest you lighten up, but I assume your superiors would find that objectionable, and my guess is you are not capable of it. Do you ever even smile Glabon? Or laugh? No, I presume not.” “Mr. Scratch I am not here for banter or games, I am here for your interview. As you know a select group has been commissioned to write your biography for the historical record.”
