“Let me go！” the girl shouted.

　　The man kept hold of her, knelt, and looked her in the eyes. “You should be more careful! Never play near the streets.”

　　“I'm sorry I frightened you. Just get back to your parents, kid.” He let go, fully expecting the girl to run away in tears, however, she stayed, staring fixedly at the ground.

　　“I'm sorry, mister. I had thought you were a bad man. My toy is now for you.”

　　“Look，” the man sighed, “No need to apologize. You are safer from now on.”

　　She started off, and then turned to wave before she continued back to her folks.

　　The man kept his eyes on her until she reached her parents. “Maybe life isn't so bad after all. At least there's still some beauty left in this city.”He thought and regained confidence towards life.
