Summary/Abstract: I remember it as clear as day – my pre-war buddies and I running barefoot to and fro over the dusty macadam in front of the building. Together, time and again, we raised sand castles, made mud-cakes, played hide-and-seek, hopscotch, marbles, four square, jumpsies, and, together, we sang some beloved and merry nursery rhymes. I remember old man Simbad too. How many times we fell for his harmless jokes! “Listen, a helicopter landed up the street, and they’re handing out candies and chocolates to children.” Just how fast we ran, holding hands, all together, to greet the helicopter which never was there.
