A Perfect Answer

"Who are you to enter my room?", her aunt's screams terrified the 10 years old's cold feet. 

She ran away from there while her aunt's question reverberated in her tender mind. 

Years later the question got its answer when the girl's name was printed on the cover page of a book.

And now that 10-year old girl/published author can adopt the Cheshire Cat's friendly grin, asking Alice (in Wonderland): "Who are you?" (If you've never seen that delightful scene from the movie, try it out.). Intriguing poem, Swetha! Smiles, Gershon
