我喜欢去当地的公园看日落,那是卡拉奇的一个海滨地区。在那里,我总是看到同一个老太太喂鸽子。这些鸟通常有10到15只左右,她还来不及从手提包里拿出那袋米,它们就会聚集在她身边。每天都是一样的,这是她日常生活的一部分。
我发现,看着她如此热情地完成这项平凡的任务,既平静又美丽。
在这个特别的晚上,这位女士来到她平常的地方喂鸟。但是,当她走近凳子坐下的时候,她的项链掉在了地上。
我坐在附近的草地上,等待太阳落山。注意到这一点,我起身去把它拿回来给她。然而,在我到达之前,群中的一只鸽子捡起了项链,飞到长凳上,把它放在她的腿上。
我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。老太太也很吃惊,开始暗自笑了起来。我脸上带着灿烂的笑容,高高兴兴地回去看日落。
