Short Story: Mom and Child Conversation

Mom and Child Conversation
Mom, what are the rainbows asked the child. The mother replied, rainbows are god's way of saying that there is always hope (rains are a symbol of hope dear child) it's a beautiful world (as the sun signifies beauty and brightness) and the horizon is well within reach. But then why is it a semi circle? Asked the child. To tell you, that as you go up, you will also come down, said the mother. The mother looked at the child's questioning eyes...she sighed. may be he was too young to understand all this. she smiled and said, always remember to look in the direction that you want to go but on the way of going where you want to go, carry the lessons along with you and always be humble. Never forget to look down, as that's what your roots are. That's where you came from. Life is a curve darling with its ups and down.
