         The owner of the store had asked him whether he was buying it for his grand-daughter and whether he’d have liked it gift-wrapped.  Mr. Gonzalves had just said simply “Gift-wrap it please!”

        When Mrs. Gonzalves had opened the package and set eyes on the doll, her eyes brimmed with tears.  She clasped it against her bosom.  Then she wiped her tears and smiled the most beautiful smile that her husband had ever seen.  She looked so beautiful.  Their son and daughter-in-law had gone for a movie.  Mr. and Mrs. Gonzalves played the songs recorded in the doll, over and over again and childishly sang along and danced to its tunes.  They also had an impromptu birthday party for their ‘Baby-doll’.  They couldn’t recollect when they had been so happy in their lifetime. 

        Ronnie and Margaret too loved the doll at first sight.  Somehow that ‘Baby-doll’ as Mr. and Mrs. Gonzalves had christened it, cheered all of them up.  The ‘Baby-doll’ kept singing all her songs again and again, day in and day out. But none of them tired of the routine.
