Mrs Katy hugged the little one and asked him to meet his new parents. The man called,"Aisley!" and broke into tears with a smile. His lady consoled him and said,"Little Aisley, you are very cute. Look at this picture!" She brought out an old photograph of a family. She said names of the persons in it one after another. She then pointed at the little toddler in the arms of a young woman and told Aisley that the baby is him and he was in his mother's arms. She also pointed at a man whom she said, was his father. She also pointed out the grandparents of Aisley. A young guy also stood in the picture whom she said, was his uncle. At once Aisley yelled happily,"Oh! Mrs Katy, you told me I was brought here by my uncle. So, this is my uncle!"

The man softly took Aisley in his lap and asked,"Don't you like to meet your uncle? I'm your uncle in that picture." Aisley hugged him tight and said,"Uncle! My uncle! Why did you leave me here?"

Aisley's uncle narrated,"Three years ago while you were just two years old, we were very happily living with our family. But unfortunately, a fire destroyed our happy family. Only Aisley and I were alive. I was too young and jobless that I could not feed my little Aisley. So, a friend suggested me to leave Aisley here and I did so. I cried so much while leaving. I had to go to come back!" Then he was choked with tears. Everyone in the room cried and remained silent for some moments.

The lady who was the aunt of Aisley continued the story, "Aisley's uncle worked at night in a restaurant and with that little amount of penny, he managed his education. He is now in a good position as a fruit of his sweats. He always says that he's working just to live with Aisley. We'll live happily now!"

Aisley was walking through the pavement of the little garden towards the gate. But suddenly, he stopped and said,"Uncle! Aunty! I forget to say goodbye to my friends."
And he ran back and bid farewell to all his friends. Aisley went away.
