Uncle Ben loved playing with his glasses, keeping them and taking them off. The blurred vision seemed more beautiful, the yellow rays blending with the green and red in garden. Glasses were not his choice, but he had to when it became difficult for him to walk as his vision fooled him with unreal holes in his way.
While looking around, his eyes locked on the Polaroid picture of his dear departed better half, she smiled victoriously after defeating her pre-assumed intelligent husband in chess, he captured that precious smile but seldom he knew it will make him feel more lonely in future. He sighed in despair.
Berry has this sixth sense for sensing emotional swings of his master. He came and sat beside him licking his fingers, uncle caressed him in return. He is such a good obedient fella,,, untill he finds something round, round objects revives the madness in him, he becomes furious and frustrated on seeing balls. There is a story behind his anger. Well, it is understandable, uncle laughs his heart out whenever he sees Berry going insane when he sees a ball especially a billiard ball.
Uncle and his friends used to play billiards, not anymore, not because he doesn't have any friends, but because it was kind of banned because of Berry's insanity. Once by mistake one billiard ball slipped and landed on Berry's head hitting him hard, it hurt him, but he didn't show much frustration at that moment other than walking off from the room but later he did show it on his own way.
Uncle knew Berry was an intelligent fella but he didn't expect Berry's silent revenge in that way, the billiard balls went missing one by one.
One day uncle noticed Berry taking the ball, he followed him to veranda and then to the yard, Berry calmly walked towards the garden, the ball in his mouth, and on finding a specific spot he started digging a hole. Uncle was shocked to see him bury the ball! Along with that uncle noticed five other freshly moved sand masses which he assumed to be the graves of other five billiard balls..! Uncle in respect of Berry's feelings allowed him to continue his ritual till the last ball was buried.
