Farmer's Unlettered Wife Laments

She lives in a remote village with her one and only daughter. Her epileptic husband died a long ago, Then the child was just completed five years. 'Oh! The University, it seems close to universe. I have never seen such a place even in my faded dreams. So my darling daughter you have already packed everything and leaves soon. I am not worried about me. While you learn many things of the cruel World, I am sure there won't be a single blank page in your heavy books for the orphan shepherd boy to make a pastel drawing. He too run away like your kind father. Though I am a simpleton my dear, that I could predict well.' * To my loving deceased mother, her unaccomplished dream is that one of her children would be enrolled to an university some day. Mom! I am sorry but I learned to draw a black face with white paint and vice versa in the life-school.
