Dark monsoon clouds gathered in the sky. Ah Peck looked out of his window and waved at Li Ping, his granddaughter, who was getting onto her school bus. Beaming at him, she waved back. The bus disappeared round the corner, and as the rain started to pour, it brought back vivid memories of last November.
It was another bad day for Ah Peck, an old ice-cream peddler. It had been raining the past week and business was poor. Ah Peck vowed, no matter how difficult life was, he would do his best to support Li Ping. Li Ping's parents had passed away in a tragic accident just a year before and she had to move in with Ah Peck. He was her only kin.
