December 1991. A small township in
A little girl of about three years. Very mischievious. Pushes the stack of buckets and they tumble. Reason : She needs the biggest toy available in the store. She can’t find one, much to her disappointment.
Her mother, naturally embarrassed, puts forth a condition. “You have to write A to Z as well as 1 to 10. Only then you’ll get this gun ”,she said, pointing towards a two-feet long, sturdy, toy-gun. Her eyes gleam,then shimmer and then she rushes home immediately.
A quick glance at all the letters of the alphabet and then she sits down with a pencil. It was the first time she wrote all those twenty-six letters together. The girl’s father came home. She proudly displayed “the fruit of her labour”. No mistakes. Smiles followed.
The next morning she finds the gun on her bed. Squeals with delight. Bliss.
Today that little girl is in search of another gun.

OMG no!!!!!!!!!!!!
She needs another "gun"--another such motivation for attaining bliss.
the use of the word "gun" is merely figurative.
Eloquent style indeed. Implicitly put up. Loved it. :)
All the best Little girl.
Long Way To Go.
