Selling ice cream .. ...
It was the ringing of the bells that brought me to the ice-cream man; the flavours in the tub hasn't been changed for decades past but yet these flavours could still withstand the competition of many a brand that come onto the market. The ice cream flavours did not change but change does time, but it has been said that a single scoop of an ice cream would require a 2.4 km run to digest -- that consuming ice-cream is a really bad thing to be doing.

I chose to ignore that particular opinion.

I walked towards the vehicle, and i saw the face of the ice cream vendor and i heard him say:"wow now thats a big one for you. Are you sure you can finish it?" The little boy seemed a bit perplexed, perhaps not expecting the vendor to make a statement, or whether to answer the question or not as he handed over a dollar to him.

I greeted him with a smile, and he took my order and to which i went home through the faint sound of the rain. I thought, how could this ice-cream man understand the 2.4 km digestion process? How could he think of ice-cream as the source of health hazards when it is his very own livelihood? How can it even be branded as a bad thing when he was trying to ask the boy if he enjoyed his ice-cream?

Are certain things really as bad as what we make them out to be?
