Fifth Sense

The sky looked like a bunch of oranges thrown together. The sun very oddly, peeped from it like a giant yellow mango. The green grass meadows bathed in the little droplets of water from the sky.
In such a confused weather, the rainbow was smiling widely with all its colors!!

Little Jack was unaware of all these beauties around him. He could feel the rain, smell the dampness and hear the chirping of birds but he was unable to see neither the VIBGYOR nor the bright violent sun.
Yes, being blind wasn’t easy.

He was walking with his action shoes, slowly yet steadily. He tripped & fell down once, twice but never gave up his courage. He proceeded on & on like a true warrior.

In a few moments he would have reached the top of the hill & he clearly knew what to do then. He had been apprehensive initially as the risk seemed to be very huge. But the result overpowered all the pains to be taken.
Twelve year old Jack’s small little body looked like a dwarf compared to the huge isolated landscape. His mom would be furious & mad; he knew that.
Yet he decided to take this and puzzle her.

It was getting damper .The sun vanished from the view like magic and so did the rainbow.
He reached his destination and stood like a pillar for a few seconds.
Finally raising his hands like a bird, he ripped off his blind fold and looked at the spectacular sight ahead.
Then he stood there waiting for his friend whom he had just defeated in the bet.

Indeed pretending to be blind wasn’t that easy.
