Puddles

As a holiday attraction,a beach had been set up at the mall near the river a few months back.
The sand and props like the palms,shells,pebbles,beach

house,water scooter facade
made it almost believable.The arrangement was convenient for parents who could leave their children in the pit and chat on the steps nearby.

On the day when it was closed due to light showers,a small naughty boy nagged his mum into letting him play in the pit and stomped about when she tried explaining to him that it was closed.After a while, noticing that his mum was busy discussing something with another lady, he jumped in through the stop sign and ran straight to the jet ski ,noisily drove it, rolled in the sand , got dirty ,dug his hands into the sand,filled his pockets with some things he dug up ,with that same unhesitating rush went to a corner and piddled into the sand, watched it for sometime and got back to his play,got tired and ran back to his mum.

Meanwhile,a couple sitting on the steps watching the whole show had complained to the Mall staff.

Ten minutes later the security officer came to the spot armed with disinfectants
but by then the boy and his mum had left.
They poked about in the sand to find the exact spot
and then it began to rain.
