Between the Trees
Hidden kids scream as we hike round the corner of the little grove.
"There's someone coming, quick, quick!"
Five children, ages eight to ten, squatting in a circle between the trees. The one with his back to us has his brown shirt over his head and is blinded by it: He is in the process of pulling it off, or on, and now he can't decide which it is to be and fumbles at it hastily, while his friends yell. "Quick! Quick!"
We catch a glimpse of his lean young back and the open mouths of his friends before passing by. Then, in the trees behind us, we hear the girl's gleeful squeal, "They LOOKED at you!"
