Their Childhood

A little girl laughed cheerfully as she bounced in the wet puddle in the backyard. Usually, her mother was there to look after the child but not that day. Her mother was working inside the house so that the ones looking after her were two boys. One was busy playing with the remote-controlled flying helicopter while the other looked at the child anxiously.

"Vincent, you don't want to try it?" said Benjie, keeping his eyes focused on the toy.

"What if she falls? You're not worried about her at all?" Vincent was more worried about little Rinrin, who was still busy jumping around while chasing a flying butterfly.

"She's fine. Even if she falls, she won't cry. She's not a whiny kid like you."

"I'm not whiny!" protested Vincent without looking at his nosy cousin and took care of the little girl attentively.
