It's supper time!!! As usual, I will buy Char Koay Tiau because there are not a lot of choices near by.
While I was waiting, I looked into the drain beside the hawker stall. There was movement and I thought it was a big rat. [I was going to a picture of it to prove to my friends that I didn't lie about the fact that I saw a rat as big as a cat before, because they didn't believe in what I told them so =( ]. Just when I was about to take my phone out, then I realise it is not a rat, it is a DOG -- a puppy. Its light brown hair was soaked with drain water, when I saw, turning it into dark brown in colour.
It was wandering in the drain, most likely searching for food, where the chance is almost nil, I would. It looked at me, I could clearly see its eyes of despair. I was thinking whether I should save it or not. Just when I was wondering I should kneel down in the public to reach the puppy from the approximately 40cm deep drain, the dog disappeared into the covered area of the drain...........
I regretted that I didn't the act fast enough. What is the purpose of having pride or self-image in public when I can't even save a soul that needed my help and that I could easily help. I know I couldn't sleep tonight if I just left it.
Out of a sudden, it wandered out from the covered area again. Without a second, I took off one of my shoes and used it as my knee support, then reached my hand to its scruff (I am not sure it works for puppy, but it works for kitten, and that was the best choice I had at the moment), then took it out from the dirty drain. It started to wander around a looking for signs of food.
At the moment, my Char Koay Tiau was ready. I looked at the hawker for a moment and before I left, I told the hawker to give the leftover food to it if possible.
Pray hard.....and then, new self-conflicts started............
