I opened the car window since she was alone and curious of what she’s doing at an ungodly hour. Likewise, since Manila is like heaven (Lenten and Christmas when all have gone elsewhere) in the absence of traffic, am afraid fast moving vehicles might side sweep her. She was havin’ fun alone tinkering something (am not sure if she’s building something or folding an artwork). But she’s suppose to be selling rugs. We bought more rugs than we need and gave her a little extra. But our heart broke for that little girl. She’s like my daughter and they seems to have similar interest.
