Attraction

"Here, have this Khatti-Meethi Gooli".

Ali-bhai has lured hundreds of children with this statement, but this boy was unfazed. This worked on most of the childred, he thought to himself. He could then go on and sell them wherever he could, there is such a huge demand. Ali-bhai then produced a Kit-Kat from his pocket. The boy still remained still. Ali-bhai watched him closely now. He was thin and pale, eyes had a stony silence in them. Ali-bhai started searching for something bigger in his pouch, and then finally pulled out the doll. "Come take it, he told". This time there was some reaction from the boy. Screaming loudly, Asif ran away, crying .... away from the attraction.

Ali-bhai muttered, "What a strange boy".........
