A group of kids played cricket on a street

The bowler came running

hurled the ball towards the batsman

Batsman concentrating on the ball

Swings his bat backwards a bit

Precisely positions the ball on the bat

and lifts it high

All of them look at the trajectory

It takes a curved path

reaches a window pane

shatters into pieces

leaving a jagged hole
