The boy would have guffawed. Satan was
complaining that this world was not fit for a great man like him. The old man
probably suspected a tinge of sarcasm in the kid but chose to ignore it.
‘’ Then this physical ailment came. Some
good Samaritans took pity on me and brought me here.” The old man’s voice was
suddenly a sob ‘’ And here I am waiting for my climax.’’
*****************
Despite himself the boy began feeling sympathetic
towards this guy- after all he was a kind hearted child.
Just twenty four hours after he had bared his
heart to the kid, the old man gave up his ghost. By now the kid was certain
that the fellow clung on this far only to tell his story to the world.
