THE LITTLE PRINCESS
A beautiful little girl was holding two apples in her hands. Her mother came there and said, you have two apples, give me one. The little girl looked at her mother for a second, then immediately bit into the dung apple. Then she immediately bit the second apple. The smile on her mother's face froze. She was unable to express her disappointment. Immediately the little girl said to her mother, 'Mom, this apple is sweet, take it'.

Losing
Losing is a painful thing, A burden that the heart must bring. It cuts so deep, it hurts so much, A wound that's hard to ever touch.

Time, a river ever flowing,Onward to where it's going,Unceasing in its steady pace,A journey that we all must face. It moves along without delay,Never stopping, come what may,And in its wake, it leaves behind,The memories we seek to find.
