Grandmother

  

Grandmother

During my advanced level days, I went to Palmadulle for my Sinhala class. one day, I was waiting for a bus with my friends after the class. Then I saw a grandmother was standing near to me with three, heavy bags. She tried to lift them on her own. But they were too heavy for her to lift.so I asked her “may I help mom”. She said nothing. But she smiled at me. I also smiled. I took those bags and asked where I should take them. She pointed to a fruit shop where a short distance from the bus shop. When we got there I saw that every bag was full of bananas. I left the bags and got ready to come back. Then the grandmother lovingly touch my cheek and asked for to give me a banana wrap. at that moment I felt I was dumb. All those words that she told were filled only affection. Because the most valuable thing she had at that time was those bananas. She was kind enough to give me some of it. However, I lovingly refused the request. I took her hand and said goodbye

 

I will never see her again. I do not even remember her face. I tried to remember it several times. But I could not .even so, I will always remember the feeling I felt at that moment.

 

We all think that every human being is bad. That is why we only see the fault of everyone. But those people have something good. Maybe it can be a simple thing. But if we can appreciate those things. They will never forget it for the rest of their life.
