A Child by a Stream*

A Child by a Stream* 

Adventure makes a child a man soon enough,
Curiosity its prime mover to make him tough.

 Dr Abe V Rotor

 

*The author’s grandson, Markus 2, in a make-believe adventure on a wall mural the author painted at their residence in QC. Unlike the mythological character Narcissus who simply admired his face mirrored on the water, Leo Carlo is curious at every detail of the scene. Here he is befriending a turtle that popped out of the depth of the stream.
