The other day my 4 year old nephew Harsh picked up a coconut that had fallen onto our terrace from the neighbours tree and delightedly handed it over to Mom. When Mom tried to explain to him that "It is not ours, we should return it", the only answer he could give is, "but it was on our terrace, I found it", not with nonchalence, but with a sweet innocence, the kind that only kids are capable of.
Brings a smile on your face, when you see this kind of an innocence, not governed by societal norms of good and bad, unspoilt by the the ways of the world that we live in and the complex values that we are led to believe in. Such a simple life :)
