Bubble Love

Bubble Love (4 Jul 2011)

Toma is holding a marshmallow candy and playing with his new toy “Bubbles” which is made by his daddy. He is blowing and running around as fast as he can to create more bubbles in the field. For the first time, he sees how beautiful bubbles are.

Daddy explained to Toma that bubbles are made of air trapped inside a hollow liquid ball. The colours on the bubbles are created by the reflection of light on the bubbles’ surface. Bubbles float up because warm air is lighter than cold air. If the air blown into the bubble is warmer than the air around it, the bubble will float up.

All Toma understands is that each bubble must be filled with air and with a colourful rainbow inside.

Toma is fascinated with bubbles. When they fall on the grass, Toma will lay down on the grass and watch the caterpillar throws the colourful bubbles. When Toma tries to catch the bubbles, they will burst upon his touch and disappear. Toma doesn’t understand why can’t he give bubbles a hug?

Toma tells Cubby he is sad because he is in love with bubbles. Cubby explains that some things in this world are an illusion and not everything we see is real. We must appreciate every moment and journey in our life.

Now, Toma is no longer sad. Deep inside, he suspects that Bubble could be a messenger carrying his wishes to the universe. He is lying on the field with the marshmallow melting in his mouth, happily watching all his wishes flying up to the sky.

Few days later, Bit Bit bought Toma a new toy called Bubble Glue. Toma believes the universe had received his wish request.
