This Little Girl's Delight.

There is a guy who sits and plays the drums in the streets, you see him all the time. Coloured bloke, with those African kind of drums that you slap. He sits poised on the ground, the two drums between his legs as he batters out rhythms, a cloth stretched out in front of him, held in place by two bottles of water. One of the best drummers in the city, it is always nice to hear him playing, a sound you can spot from a distance away. Today as I approach, there is a little girl, maybe about 4, in a summer dress, with white tights, long black hair. She is dancing, full of joy, a couple of feet in front of the drummer, she spins and claps, and just loves the sound and her motion. Her mum stands another few feet away, watching and smiling, and in general people slow to watch, and you can see the smiles spread, the happiness at seeing this little girl’s delight.
