"What if he takes that one also?"

Paper boat

Bent over a stream of muddy rain water, Anna gently launched a paper boat. Like the two earlier ones, this boat, too, sailed down the stream swiftly and proudly.

And each time that happened Anna would shriek with delight. But this time something horrible happined. A big boy pounced on her boat and pulled in out. He wiped off the water and turned the boat upside down.

Anna stared at the boy. He was huge and dirty. And so engrossed was he in inspecting the boat that he did not notice Anna's angry stare. She turned and ran into the house.

Aunt Avanti was sitting in an armchair watching the newly washed trees and the beautiful sky, when Anna barged in, her face red and lips pounting. "That awful boy, he snatched away my boat", she said.

"Don't worry. I will make another one for you", Aunt Avanti tried to console her.

"What if he takes that one also?"

"Then... I will make some more boats"

"And supposing he takes all of them?"
