MeWhen I were a little girl, everytime I went to school I used to roam around school-gate to buy some snack or look for something interest. In those days, I prefered to go somewhere crowded, and I remembered that crowdest place is the store of old man sell crickets, in fact, he sold lots of things but I known only name of the cricket so I call him "old cricket man".Everyday, I saw that "old cricket man" always crowded with boys and girls. most of them just looking and talking about his crickets, and I was one of them, just talk and point ...One day, I saw my friend buy a cricket, I wanted to have one. My father was not easy to persuaded, he said "what would you do with a cricket?" so I were upset all day.After 2 or 3 days, when I felt not upset anymore then I saw a cricket in my depot, it might be escape from someone's cage, I didn't know whose that cricket belong to, it flew in my house that meant it belong to me ^^ - as a little girl, I felt I were right. so I try to catch the cricket, he was very fast but I were faster, and after some trying I had him in my hand. ofcouse, I became the master of this poor little cricket.The cricketI were very happy when I catch him, then I shown him to my father, he gave me a box to let the cracket in, then I went and shown off the cricket to all my friends, I felt very proud. I shown off this cricket to everyone, "This is my cricket, does it beautiful?" all my friends praise "that's so beautiful"A moment later I felt bored and let the box with cricket on the table, sometime I swing at the box to make sure that my cricket still inside.One day pass, he still alive without ate anything, I thought that he was a long-life bug, when I got up, my father asked me "do you feed the bug yet?", I just remember and ran at the table, opened the box and touch the cricket with a toothpick. I felt secure when I known him still alive. Dad gave me a leaf and said "feed him with this leaf, baby", yes, I answered.I didn't know how to feed this bug, so I opened the box and let the leaf inside, after few minutes I found that a piece of the leaf was left, to make sure the cricket still alive, I touch him with toothpick again, but he didn't move, my tears started to fall because I thought he would die... but my father thought he might be "drunk" because he had eaten the tobacco leaf, I stoped crying and decided to release the poor cricket, so I opened the box and set him free...The tobaccoAfter this case I realized that we had tobacco in my garden, I didn't know what kind of plant before, a tobacco leaf smell too pungent when we rubbed it, I heard that it could use to treat runny nose, when you have a runny nose you could use tobacco leaf. If you notice you can see that tobacco also have flower, especially, when the flower become withered it looks like danlelion flower, it had seeds fly with the wind, but since I noticed these beautiful seeds then It couldn't scatter by the wind anymore, when it had flower, I wished the flower wither as quick as possible, when the flower withred, I cut all seeds, keep in my palms and flowed the seeds fly in the air, it was so beautiful when look at these seeds flew, flew away...
