Little Angel




















During my three days and two nights diving courses, fortunately I had a nice company which is an interesting family . It composed by an Australian husband, Nick, a Taiwanese wife (I don't know her name, even we have spent three days togehter)and a lovely little mixed-blood girl, Ario. This was my first time to excess a single trip. The feeling was weird and lonely. The courses were starting at an end of typhoon vacation, so there were fewer divers or tourists in KenDing. However, it was good for me to focus on my lessons. Back to that interesting family, they are all younger than me, and they are familiar with this situation because the husband was interested in diving very much. So even the diving instructors knew this family very well. I have to acknowledge that I did have good time in those three days because of the exciting period of time in diving and the lovely girl, Ario. She is 4 years old and the major language she used was Chinese. When she smiled to me, it looked like an angel who was standing in front of me, and she treated me as her friend, a close friend. She chatted with me, made some excises and games to have fun with me, invited me to have meals with her, and holded my hand to take a walk after dinner. I think she is shorter than 120 cm. Please try to imagine the scene she strengthed to extend her skinny arm to hold my hand and to match my height. At one lunch time, I went back from diving exhaustedly. I found she was eating her lunch alone and she yelled at me to have a lunch with her from fifty meters far away. How could I refuse to accept her invitation? Fromthe first day we met, she alwayse treat me as a person who she knew when she born. Maybe she was lonely too, or maybe her parents are not so close with her. I don't know. Nevertheless, I believe there are no adults who can treat other people like this. Without fear and irritation. Is she not afraid to be refused? No, I don't think so. Does she not know that there are bad guys around the world? No, maybe she is too young to understand the methods that adults are used to choose. She wanted to go to my room to keep our conversation, but I asked her to go back to stayed with her parents and warned that maybe I was a bad guy. I was not sure that should I explore the imperfect world to her so early. When I told her that maybe I was a bad guy, she told me immediately that I am a good person. The last day I had to leave, I told her it was time for me to go home while she was taking a dog to walk. She looked at me and told me come back tomorrow with a little sadness in her face and eyes. Then I left quietly when she paid attention on a cute puppy. Previously, my friends asked me if I wanna have a baby or babys, I said no. Now, I will say that I wanna a baby and it will be better to have a girl. :)) I will miss you, Ario. Oh, by the way, she can be a terrific photographer, she got talent.
