Just before Christmas, a mom went to the downtown hand in hand with her 5-year-old boy to buy things for Christmas. The cheerful carols occupied the whole street on which the colorful lights glittered. The mom in good mood walked slowly, humming a song. There were many toys and dolls piled up on the store. She thought her boy would be so happy to see those.
In arriving at a store, a man disguised as a St. Clause burst into laughter of a real St. Clause. She pulled his hand toward St. Clause. Her son, however, intended to hide himself on her back. " How come...? Let's go to the St, Clause, shall we!" The boy was about to cry , which she didn't understand in the least. Gazing at her boy, she took notice of his shoestrings untied." Oh my..., shoestrings came untied. Let me tie the strings."
The mom tied his strings up again, plumping herself down. As she turned her face around unintentionally, nothing was there on the street. No more show windows! No more colorful lights! No more fancy decorations! All she could see was thick legs, and big hips. What a dreary sight it was ! That was what sight her boy could see.
It was not until then that she could see the world through the eyes of her boy. She lifted her boy, and made haste for home. She swore herself not to see the world through the eyes of hers, but to see the world through the eyes of a child. She also swore not to oblige her boy to see the world through the eyes of hers.
