“In the summer, the days were long, stretching into each other. Out of school, everything was on pause and yet happening at the same time, this collection of weeks when anything was possible.”

The Peacock and the Crane
There was a peacock who often boasted about his beauty. Everyday he walked to the banks of a large lake and looked at his own reflection and said “Oh what a beautiful bird I am! Look at my colorful tail!”
Once the peacock saw a crane on the banks of the lake. He said with a sneer to the crane, “What a colorless bird you are! You have no beautiful and colorful feathers like mine”.
The crane replied, “Of course! I don’t have beautiful feathers. But, my feathers can make me fly across the lake. Can your feathers make you fly?” There was no reply from the peacock.
