Every weekday morning, the old man would take a slow walk to the corner shop.
It was a regular thing and good for his constitution. Recently, he had found that walking via the main road with its heavy traffic, was not the best. It was just getting noisier by the day. That is why, on this particular Monday morning, he had decided to take the much quieter back street, despite it being a little longer. This wouldn’t be a problem as he enjoyed the walk. It was a quiet street and one he’d never ventured down before. As he made his way, he noticed that the silence was being broken by children shouting. Getting nearer, he realised it was more like chanting than just shouting.
He heard, “Twenty-one, twenty-one, twenty-one,” being called out, over and over again. It sounded like a couple of youngsters playing some sort of game. Ignoring it, he carried on and the peacefulness of the street slowly returned as he went.
On the Tuesday, much to his surprise, he heard the same young voices calling out, “Twenty-one,” repeatedly. This time, he slowed a little to listen. As far as he could tell, it was a boy and girl chanting together. They were probably around the same age. Maybe twenty-one was a lucky number. Leaving curiosity behind, he continued his journey to the shop.
On the Wednesday, he was even more intrigued to find the same thing happening as he approached the house. He paused near where the sound was coming from and peered through a gap in the fence.
It was probably less than a second between seeing the red, plastic nozzle of the water-pistol and receiving an eye full of water! Standing back, dabbing his face with his hanky, he heard the chant change.
It began, “Twenty-two, twenty-two.”
The old man’s face reddened and looking around to make sure nobody had witnessed the incident, he then walked on without a word.
He was smiling.
