A pretty girl with a red helmet was riding a motorcycle ahead, she was wearing a short pink dress and purple pants, the back of her dress swinging in the wind like small pink flags. It is not rare to see women wearing such fancy garments nowadays. But this young woman was in style in every way.
I suddenly thought of my wife. She had been dreaming of getting a bag which she said she had seen on the Internet. She had already got our son to place an order for it. It should arrive at any time.
“Is your delivery to reach us today or tomorrow?” I asked.
“I have no idea. But don’t worry. Our child is sure to watch it.”
Soon we turned our way onto the Hilton Thoroughfare(大道), the stylishly dressed girl gave way to us standing aside, at the same time waiting for the traffic light to change. Obviously she was going in the direction of another place.
“You know that girl?” asked my wife, seeing my eyes still fixed upon the girl in fashion.
“No. I was thinking how you look in a pink dress while hanging about in a botanic(植物的) garden.”
“You were kidding me, knowing I’m not fit for such clothing.” retorted my wife.
“It will make you look much younger. You were always a lovely pretty girl at her age.”
“I’m not what I used to be.” she laughed out loud.
Mostly I’m a a reserved person, as well as a jobworth who follow the daily routine in my spare time. But we do go out to some local places for fun once or twice a month. Our destination this time is to go on an eco-travel to know something about horticulture. The botanical garden is located about twenty kilometers far from our town. We are intended to go watching the variety of plants and have a farm stay there most of the day.
