Teaching My Brother How To Cycle On a Hot Summer's Day

I still remember the day very well when I first met my wife, a hot summer's day. I was lounging under my instant awnings enjoying a cold drink when my brother asked me if I would teach him to cycle.
I had purchased a brand new cycle recently, and I maintained just as if it was my sweet heart. My brother was nagging me to teach him cycling. Finally, I selected a narrow road which connected two villages (to teach him on). The two sides of the road were filled with paddy fields. I was teaching him right there on this road. He too was learning the craft to my satisfaction. As he was cycling suddenly in a bend I saw a girl coming on a bicycle from the opposite side. The moment my brother saw her coming from the opposite side, he went into panic-mode and lost control and rammed her and fell down. The girl too fell down, but out into the paddy field. I still remember how she cried and shouted for help. I helped her climb up to the road and clean herself. Immediately after climbing up onto the road she scolded my brother angrily! When I offered her a cool drink, she refused at first, but accepted later. After finishing the drinks, she thanked me for my help. Later we met on that same road for many days and exchanged drinks - almost like our own private custom!
