The rock became even brighter in the face of the sun making it possible for him to see it only once it landed in his hands ready for another toss.

It sort of titillated him when he saw their inability to punish him on seeing him doing all sorts of mischief. He teased buses after buses. He won the arguments and the battles here which he couldn’t manage in his home and the school. And today he had the lucky coin too.
