Spring, summer, fall, winter and spring

I am sure that the unsophisticated boy did not expect such a tragic outcome. What he started for fun brought a disastrous result, leaving a heavy burden in his heart. I am able to understand how the boy feels as I have similar experiences.

           When I was young, still too naïve to understand the existence of living things, we raised two chicks in our house. They were so yellow, so cute that I could not take my eyes off them. I never forgot to feed them and observed them with a great delight. One day, after feeding them as normal, I brought out super glue. And out of sheer curiosity, I stuck this super glue on the chicks’ feet. Watching them unable to move, I giggled, and laughed so hard till I rolled on the floor. My grandmother, hearing the noise, came out to the living room, saw what I have done, and I can tell that she was not very happy. She brought me into the room and quietly told me to observe what will happen to the chicks for the next few days.

           I felt the same way as the boy did when I saw them dead one morning. I cried, cried and cried till there were no more tears to come out. After drying my tears, I cried again, and this process was unceasing. I knew immediately that I killed two living things that were extremely precious to me. Whether accidental or too ignorant to comprehend the reality, I was a murderer and still am.
