Drabble: A Child's Wish
The slightly chubby, bushy haired toddler ran through the tall crowd in the mall, heading straight towards the centre where the masterpiece water-fountain lay - a large structure in the shape of a golden lily in the centre with water dribbling from its petals.
The child came to a halt at the edge and looked at the reflection on the water surface.
She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and with the other, allowed the bronze contents held in her palm to fall into the clear blue water.
“I wish I could do magic” she whispered slowly.
