The Joys Of Watermelon

On my first morning in Muang Noi I saw a young Laotian child, a boy of about 10 walking with 2 big pieces of very red dripping watermelon in each hand. He was walking and eating first from the right hand then from the left hand, he had a grin on his face that stretched from ear to ear. Am not sure why I am writing about this, it just seemed so joyful, he did it with such abandon,such happiness, it spoke to me of the joys of youth. I can still see him running along with this watermelons, chomping away.
