Every summer he came to our village on his cycle.The cycle was full of coconuts and on the handle was his small red money purse and the knife that he used to cut the coconuts.He was known for his toothless smile that tended to tum into a slight laugh.
   He often announced the arrival of summer by standing under our village's Gulmohar tree.During the first touch of summer，red flowers fell on the ground and welcomed him to out village；soon the red flowers turned into long sword-like fruits which hung above his head as he cut the coconuts.
   He never ate anything except paan （a kind of leaf），which he always could be seen chewing，and he just sat under the tree until someone approached him.Then，he would choose the best coconut，and with expert skill，carve it so that the person could drink the satisfying liquid.
   Nowadays，he doesn't do much business.Kids no longer care for coconut water；they want soft drinks.I know his weak body will fail him in the coming years.He will not visit our village，and with him，all my memories of summer will disappear.No one will miss him apart from the Gulmohar tree，his only friend.
   My friends and I have stayed in the same village our whole life.Now，in our mid-thirties，we don't have time to talk about our childhood and the life beyond the chains of society.
   I've made up my mind.Tomorrow I will talk with him.I will listen to him and preserve him in my memory.I will tell him how important he was for me，how he defined summer for me，and，during every summer，how he nurtured （滋養(yǎng)） me with the coconut water，which was filled with his love.I will take in his smile one last time—a remembrance of my childhood innocence.I will hug him until my tears mix with his.
