The red scarf playing games

The red scarf in the hill path

   At home, he often sets free cattle with grandpa. Gradually, he found no interest in it. After returning home everyday, he sits on the rock before door silently. The families still think that he is tired, for he has played the whole day. But, they don't know what he is thinking about at that time.

   At the sunset, he finally sees what he is waiting for. Some figures come from the foot of a hill bottom. While coming near, their voices also spread here. When they come, it is clear that they are some pupils. They are saying something happily with a red cloth moving with the breeze in front of their chest. He sits there, looking at them with envy in the eyes. But, these pupils do not notice his attitude to them; they just smile to him and walk away.

    He sits there, looking at them, till they get home. He still keeps on sitting over there until his grandpa calls him to have supper. He wants to go to school with schoolbag behind him everyday, and he also wants to have a red cloth before his chest like them.
