A Gentle Rascal

(Fatima Ilyas, Karachi)

 In cast-off clothes, broken sandals, head covered with long black shawls both gorgeous sisters sat on a footpath and started to count the coins they had been earned since morning.

"We haven't enough money to get medicine for father", the younger sister said in utter disappointment. Meanwhile a rascal came there and tried to humiliate the elder sister. The younger sister slapped him with all her might. He began to shout; spectators gathered there and calmed him down by saying that, "curse them they just do denigrate gentlemen".

Sisters remained quiet but had a chain of tears in their eyes.
