Boat reflections.

A little boy was riding along on his trike on the cobbled area beween Elisabetta's snack shack and the boats. This is not a safe place for kids to be playing.
A small, fat dog jumped up from under a table and raced, barking, after the child. The mother screamed at the child, the child turned his head to look at his mother as he pedaled towards the murky water.
FORTUNATELY, the trike rammed into a bollard, blocking its path and disaster was averted.
Then the frightened child began to cry while all the adults seated in front of the bar sighed with relief as we had all been imagining the child trapped under the tangled mess that lurks around boats.
