Rain pouring heavily, thumping on the glass window pane. A finger ran down the silhouetted glass fill with the mist of the cold air. His finger slowly wiped off tiny drops of rain that is coming out from his ceiling to his window. There he sat. Lonely and unwanted. Father went on a trip again he thought.
As the rain pour more and more heavily, there was a knock on the door. There goes the knock. Thump Thump Thump. He give a glanced at the garnished, dark brown, pine wood doors. Must be the maid mother sent I suppose he thought. He stood up, look out at the wet garden that used to be green and started to walk towards the doors.
Opening the door, there she was. Standing there with her head tipped down like a little small puppy that did something wrong.
"Why are you here? I told mother not to send food to my room anymore, don't you understand? " he said with a glance at the girl and turned back at his room, leaving the poor little maid standing in front of his room, the doors ajar, not fully closed.
"But Mistress Giselle said..to..to..to..bring food..to you, Master Moon." she tipped her head slightly and took a peep through the wooden door. What she see through the wooden doors are but a shock of her life. She dare not see. She dare not ask nor speak to him but only placing the tray of the night's dinner for him on the floor, in front of his room and silently walked away.

He placed his head against the cold glassed window. It is so cold tonight. Cold as death he thought. Moon looked through the foggy window pane and to his surprise, saw a girl. A girl about his age mid 20s perhaps or probably younger, standing in the rain with her head held up high and her arms spread wide, twirling around like a swan, wearing not a sleeping gown but a white dress soak with rain water. Her skin is as fair as a little tiny toddler. She smiled the most beautiful smiled in the world. Her hair was the shade of dark green. Moon raised his head when he see the girl had fallen down on the muddy path while twirling around. But as soon as he stood up, wanting to help the girl, she smiled all by herself and start to stand up by her own.
"What a strange girl. Why is she smiling? The rain is so heavy and yet she is as happy as a hummingbird although she is all wet" he said to himself and with that he went to sleep with the most beautiful smile that he will never forget.
