Attraction

I marvel at the way some people are blessed with an attraction for children. Lay beckoned to the little boy the other day and he came rightaway and talked to her for a long time sucking the ice cubes she got for him (it was past midnight and there no more ice cream to be got) He is ill treated by his hawker father but never comes when we call to him to give him chocolate. I wonder whether it's her long black hair that attracts him. All my other friends have tried but he never comes to them.
