Cast Net Into the Ocean
Once I cast my net into the Blue Ocean.
I caught lots of strange things,
Some of them were smiling,
Some of them were crying,
Some of them were glittering,
Some of them were flashing lights
When the sun was about to set,
I came at home.
My queen was sitting in the yard holding a book on her lap.
I was nervous for a moment.
Finally I placed at her feet all that I brought from the Blue Ocean.
I was standing silently,
She just had a look on them and said, " What type of strange things are these?
She again said that they are all useless.
I was speechless,
I just wanted to say that I have not fought for them.
I didn't buy them from the local market.
They were not nice presents for her.
I threw them all into the road at night.
When I wake up in the morning time,
There was nothing left on the street.
The travellers picked them up and carried them into different countries forever.
