FF, You hit the right spot as a storyteller with your impeccable writing skill. Enjoyed reading it, to be honest. It may sound too cliched but ,  Oh heck, let me say this, it's a reminder  for  most of the readers, if not everyones, of their childhood one way or another.

Even though I don't intend to go there( as we talked ) but I'd say your  grip on English is very commandable. Overall, A flawless presentation. Waiting for more Goodluck!
