The Helmet

He didn’t take off his helmet

when he parked his scooter and

entered into the bookshop, where both heavy and light weight

books were displayed in the showcase.

He’s got the wisdom, I thought, a BOOKSHOP is the most

injury prone area in the city where you must

wear a helmet to save your day.
