Candle that gives light....

While traveling back home in metro, there was this small kid doing all the mischief, it seems he just can't sit still... I was wondering he may fall and get hurt. So I made a little space and asked him if he wants to sit, to which he agreed. I was reading a book and may be he was fascinated by it. As we started sharing warm gestures, he started talking to me. It's always a fun to talk to kids... It's a wonderful experience. But what fascinated me the most was his answer to my question... I asked "What do you want to become when you grow up?" He replied with a twinkle in his eye" Candle" I was like what...??? Why...?? And then he continued.... " Candle gives light" He again got occupied in his mischief.... And I am still wondering why did he say that...??? He is too smal to understand the essence behind it, then what made him say so... May be his parents are so amazing to teach him these noble things.... Wow!!! I am delighted..

Kids can really fascinate you. The same question was asked to my daughter when she was four and she replied I will be grown up me.
