UNFULLFILLING SATISFACTION

imagine an adult playing some silly card game with a kid......
the kid is sooooooooo excited n thrilled....
he is sitting with big,round eyes.........
taking in every card thats being turned.....
game is a novelty for him.
he is soo happy 2 finally hv found a partner,to play with him.
the adult is just being patient....playing along coz the kid means something to him...
he doesnt wana break kiddo's heart....doesnt wana see the kid cry.
the game doesnt interest him,an iota....but he loves to see the kids face...all happy n excited.
he knows the game inside out....nothing more 2 explore there n the kid is not an exceptional partner 2 have....but he still cdnt say NO to the kid.
he lets the kid win n pretends 2 be sad abt losing the game.....just 2 see the kid jumping with joy....
as the time passed....the kid realised..what it took on the adult's part to just play along....
without enjoying or getting much out of it...
first the kid feels guilty abt making the adult play...forcefully....but then very soon......
he is thankful 2 the adult for hiding his boredom soooo well....
n letting the kid enjoy the moment.
