Across the road from the restaurant, I see
a little girl as I sit by the terrace. She is wearing what appears to be a red
and white polka dot dress. Hard to really tell as she is covered in mud head to
foot. She holds with both hands an ice cream cone as if it was her most prized
possession in the world. She spots me staring from across the road and she
smiles, such a beautiful smile. Then she waves, I wasn’t expecting that. I
return the smile and wave back enthusiastically. Hello.
