So simple but very meaningful. Very touching for the working class

[zainul]

I am very sorry Kayti to be so late in responding to your lovely review.
I missed the contribution for unknown reason.
Thanks for the amazing review and precious comment.

[Tate Morgan]

It is always the desire of a seller to be gone of inventory.Yet always there is more to do and more desired of that man than ever he could do

[zainul]

Hi Tate,
I am sorry I am responding so late.
I can't figure out why it could not be noticed.
Thanks for the great contribution and wonderful review.
Best,
Zainul

[Zainab UF]

Sometimes the most trivial observations make the most heartwarming works of art. This one's ample proof. Loved it!

[zainul]

Hi Zainab,thanks for the lovely review.
It warmed my heart.

[Zainab UF]

It's my pleasure! :)

[zainul]

Mine too :)

Probably it is because he has already more than enough to feed the family, or simply because he is a businessman and or salesperson and happiness obtained when stocks are sold out! :)

[zainul]

Thank you Belle for your great review.
In this case,the little boy had little stock for sale.
The poor boy runs his family from its profit.
He often fails to sell his stock and thus fails to earn enough for his family.
So,when he could finish his stock of popcorn,he had earned the desired profit and thus he became happy.
Have you got my point,dear friend?

[Belle]

Meaning this is a depiction of life in poverty.
Livelihood of the family depends upon the sales of the day.
I hope I get it this time...

[Belle]

I will post a poem also that I wrote months ago.
Hope you can check it also, my piece and this one
share the same theme : subsistence.

[zainul]

Yes,you have explained the matter better than me.
Thank you very much.
There are lots of people whose families depend upon the sales of the day.

[zainul]

I was thinking of reviewing your poem now.
Thanks for suggesting me a piece.

[Belle]

I can imagine how hard it is to be in a unsafe net...My country is also crowded with such this situation, but still they manage to survive with a smile in the face in between and at the end of a sunhammered day!

[zainul]

Thank you for looking at their plight so intimately.
They are not aliens
They are our neighbors,may be they are our relatives.
Many factors may influence people to become poor.

[Belle]

Yes, definitely not an aliens, but an admirable human being trying so hard to live in harmony and with dignity amidst poverty. They really learn to live without depending from anyone specially from the government. And the best part of it is they rarely complain...

[Belle]

I posted the piece and the title is Philippine Jasmine. :)

[zainul]

Thank you.
I have read and reviewed it.
Please have a look.

[Belle]

Thank You Zainul. Your poor little boy sells popcorn while our poor little boys and girls sell garland of flowers. :)

[zainul]

That's right.
They are around us everywhere trying to live honestly at their minor age when they are supposed to go to school and play with children of their age.
Let's hope and pray that they can always smile.

[zainul]

LOL, I truly loved the meaning behind this, and it's an lovely senryu poet!
You always make me smile. It has some release wisdom in it...

[zainul]

Thank you Elisa for the amazing review.
I am glad that you liked it.

Yes, I loved it! it shows a moral, and great observation, on daily basis, with daily people, who are forgotten, but not by you ;)

[zainul]

You are also very compassionate, dear friend.
We all are the passengers of the same boat!

Even as an atheist? thank you dear soul.

[zainul]

My pleasure!

You're welcome, it does not mean I'm heartless... I just have my own religion, "love" and "science" and "freedom" so I saw myself in the lifeboat, more like that :)

[Whitney Kleinhuizen]

Simple yet really good. Right down to the basic's of what can bring happiness to an individual. Great write.

[zainul]

Thank you dear friend for identifying the basics of happiness.
Adore your lovely review.

[Marie]

Lovely senyru. Sales do bring smiles to a vendors face.

[zainul]

Thank you Marie for the wonderful review.
All sales personnel have the same smile like the little boy when they can sell.

[J. J. Nightingale]

I guess we do smile, when what we do is appreciated, and wanted .. whether it be popcorn , poetry or pudding .. If we like where we are , and can live with what we do, then we r a success .. and happy ..

I like your thoughts .. Jazz

[zainul]

Thank you Jasmine for generalizing the matter with 3 Ps.
It is a unique review.
Thanks you dear friend.

[J. J. Nightingale]

[quinfinn]

you mean you're out of popcorn? and i was getting hungry! nicely written

[zainul]

Really,its flavor made me hungry too.
I could buy a packet from the boy.
Please wait a bit.
I will bring one for you.
Thanks for the lovely review.

[quinfinn]

[zainul]

Ok,that's a great suggestion.
I will try.
You may also post yours on honey!

[quinfinn]

[zainul]

New safe things
