The day when Tooba found her shadow was a great, yet funny, discovery.
It all began on an ordinary night in Pakistan, when Tooba, my mother, my grandmother, and I went to the local park. Tooba and I played games on the grass, and as Tooba was only 1 and a half years old, I was careful. We sat down with my grandmother and my mother, and Tooba started running around us. She saw a black thing on the grass, and she ran, trying to get away from her shadow, which scared her.
Then she realized that the “thing” was not scary, so she ran around with it, playing tag. I laughed and told Tooba that it was a shadow and would follow her everywhere. ‘ Shadow’, she said, shrugged, and continued playing.
The End
