"Am I in heaven?” he thinks, No! He was on top of a cloud. Before he could think of why he his here, he is taken back by the new experience. His curiosity made him wander over the edge and there was a telescope pointed below.
Wait! If you think this story is about Michael, it is not. He gazed through the glass and saw a life of a little girl. The story is about the little girl, Sarah. Little girl kisses her mom and says goodbye as she leaves her home, holding back her tears, hoping that she would find enough money to make all her worries go away. Little that she knew, the pursuit of money would bring in new worries!
She sets foot on an unknown land, surrounded by unknown faces; all that she knows is that her sisters are in hunger. The city, full of vultures, who hang around in the darkness, until she kneels, wounded, scared. Sarah is not that kind; she is a fighter, a phoenix.
But she cries in the night, all alone, where no one sees her fragility. No one but one, Michael sees her, and he wishes her sorrows ended. He is helpless to help, wished that she would find fortune.
To be continued..................
When I thinking of crying, I don't see it is being fragile. I see it as being human and allowing yourself to let go of whatever is coming up against you. True strength comes after the crying has subsided. If she chooses to give up, than yes, I would say that she is fragile. But, if she perseveres and keeps going, than she is showing a character of great strength...

Thanks for commenting.. Yes its true crying is not fragility for the ordinary man... But when she cries in front of the vultures of city life, then comes the undue advantage scenario...
