Layman's Wishes
Long ago in Northern England there was a big lake of heavenly nectar. The lake was called 'Love'. One day Layman was going along the lake-side road with his friends. He didn't know how to swim but had a secret wish to taste the nectar. So he, going through the pavement, intentionally slipped down the lake and began floundering to and fro. But none of his friends came to save Layman as they too didn't know swimming. Layman struggled much to save himself and probably he could do so had he not focused on tasting and swallowing draughts of nectar. He was a drowning man but he didn't crave to live without swigging more and more sweet nectar with mouth wide-open, eyes glittering with untold pleasure, and heart replete with joy. , Some moments later, Layman drowned with a broad smile hovering over his jovial face.
