"Ambulance"

 

Once I was outside with Alina (I like to call her Bead). The sun is shining, birds are singing, cars are passing by... Usually when Alina hears loud noises like dogs barking or cars roaring she hides her face in between my knees and I hug her. She seats like this until the noise is gone. But that time I saw an ambulance arriving and was getting prepared to Alina to do her usual trick but suddenly Alina proudly stands up – reaches the car and starts hugging and kissing it. I could not stop her. People around started laughing. A doctor from the car came back and gave a piece of candy to Alina. I breathed out as I expected the girl to get absorbed with the candy and lose interest in the car. But Alina bit a little piece from the treat and tried to feed the car with the rest of it. When she realized that the car is not going to take a candy no matter how hard she tried, she ate the rest of the candy herself and went away waving and looking back at the car. At this point I realized that Alina has her own thing about cars...
