“Ma-ma, what's that?"
"That's a tractor!"
"A tractor, oh, tractor, tractor..."
"Baby [小宝], pick that bottle up!"
"O-k" Baby was excited and happy, just like an innocent little kid.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..." All of a sudden, a train screamed by. As the rumbling and whoosh of the train speeded through the countryside, some farmers witnessed the accident and called the hospital as soon as possible. Before the ambulance arrived, however, the woman had died.
"Ma-ma, that tractor, that tractor, just passed by, did you see it? Its body is so long! The voice is scaring."
"I am sorry, your mom has gone!"
"where is she? who are you?"
"I am..." just at this moment, the farmers came to the doctor and told him Baby had cretinism.
Yes, Baby is actually 25 years old, and he was an orphan before his mom adopted him. His mom was a poor country woman, who married an infertile man. After the man disvorced her, she kept single for years and then adopted a boy who she named Baby from another village. She supported Baby and herself by collecting recycled materials.

This is an adaption from a real stroy that a friend told me. What I wonder now is how is Baby and who takes care of him at the present... Alas, life, sometimes is so harsh! God bless!

Thanks, dear sewar!
My little princess don't be sorry about anything happened, trust me, like I have mentioned before; everything happens in our life pours in our own good. An orphan baby maybe a wealthy family took him, or maybe someone took him and teaches him things, he shall not learn them while his mother alive, benefit him in his life, or maybe the accident teaches him some life's values such as; confidence, self-reliance, appreciation, gratitude……..etc. Don’t worry, our life is very beautiful weather we see its white face or the black one. God bless you.
Yes, Ray! That is what I hope as well, I hope someone can take up the duty to take care Baby.
“All experiences are opportunities for me to learn and grow.” I like it. You are right, happy or bitter, are both the real status of life, and as Hero R said we should take and deal with all the odds it tosses at us. Life is really a good teacher for us, and we need to learn from it patiently. I know this, but sis sewar, I still feel sorry and sad for the unlucky Baby and his poor mother.
Thanks, all!
Tim, I got the pun [wondering-wandering], yes?
Hero R, thanks for taking and dealing with all the odds I tossed at you last night, actually I didnt mean to torment you guys, just um... a little stubborn? grinning, till now, I still think I need to collect more onomatopoeia. ~\(≧▽≦)/~
Sis Bala, he did nothing, actually he is just an innocent "kid". You know, when I heard the story, I was speechless and felt so sorry!
Lynne, what you have seen is what I was going to say, I didn't mean to inculcate anything, just told a story which touched my heart. Or if I really want to convey something, then it is being grateful to our life and being merceful to others who are unlucky.
Indeed a tragic situation for a kind hearted person. I really don't know what this story wanted to inculcate in a readers mind. I just saw the inequalities and injustices in life.
My friend, when we understand more of life, we experience more of life's wonder. So, that why I always ask for more understanding so that I may knowingly and wilfully shape my world and my experiences. All experiences are opportunities for me to learn and grow. My friend, regardless of sometimes we examine the bitter of the life, but it deserves to be lived. Once I read that; the person who has a why to live for, can bear almost any how. My little princess, stop wondering, just look for the wisdom which lies in any wonder and learn. I think nothing harm has happened to the baby, for a simple reason which is; I believe that we all under God's mercy because, he is the one who created us and as a result of the fact for sure he loves us. And trust me, from my humble experiences in the life , nothing happens to us, weather it is good or bad, but for our own good. Thanks my amazing friend.
wandering is what all cats do noaslpls (pun)
Why? What harm Baby did? Why such a punishment given to him by God? Yes...it is given by God only no to him? then where he is going to bless him?
Very sad, very sad..
