A good night

He was lying on his side on the bed and reading a seventh standard science book. I informed him that it was time for him to sleep. He closed the book and placed it on the floor. I told me that he had to see something interesting. He looked at me with curiosity. I switched on the new table lamp. Actually, it was not a new table lamp. We bought it ten years ago but were using it for the first time today. He looked at the light emanating from the lamp with interest. I switched off the tube light. He said "Wow! Its bright and beautiful". I smiled and pointed to the Buddha statue besides the lamp. It looked marvelous.

I switched off the lamp and walked over to the bed. I pecked him a good night and hugged him. I placed my ears against his chest and listened to his tiny heart's beat.
