FOG

One foggy morning, Kumar rushed to the bus stop to catch the early bus to town. As he went through the dense fog, he couldn't see anything in front of him. How dense the mist was, he felt as if he was swimming in clouds.

Kumar extended his arms to feel for his way. Suddenly, he felt his arms bumped against something soft and warm. He felt guilty, hoping that he had crashed into someone. "Excuse me, sir," he said, attempting to step aside. But the person looked back at him with big, round eyes and a loud "Moo!" sound.

Kumar realized he was apologizing to a cow standing in the middle of the street. He felt ashamed and quickly turned away, hoping no one would notice. But, as the fog covered everything, he felt safe.

While walking, he heard strange names: "Bobby! Bindu! Bambie!". Kumar looked around to find someone, but couldn’t see anything. Then he saw three dogs coming through the fog, with scarf around their neck. As if they had something important business to attend in the fog. Kumar waved as they passed, feeling like he was in a dog parade.

He finally arrived at the bus stop, but due to the thick mist, he couldn't see the coming bus. He closed his eyes, sensing that something large and blurry was approaching him. Is it a bus? Or another cow? No, it was his friend Kamala on a bicycle, he noticed when she passed him by. When Kamala identified Kumar, she stopped to give Kumar a lift. Kumar was happy, the fog started to lift. Kumar climbed her bicycle, thinking that the foggy morning was not bad until they bumped into another cow.
