Memories of childhood flooded my mind as I rummaged... through dusty white elephants and keepsakes in the attic. Frequent gasps of pleasant astonishment upon discovery of long-outgrown clothes; old birthday gifts I thought were lost forever. Especially, a water pistol, which took me... back in time when I used to play cops and robbers with other neighborhood kids Ah, those were the days! Suddenly, I felt like a child again.
