I remember the days when I was in port of Salalah,  
Sultanate of Oman. 
I was working in Port controllers building a mountain top. 
It's really interesting, you crawled in the midnight and I offered you a bowl of rice,  
in gratitude you left me a spine. 
Still I am holding that curious gift. 
You too a Mammal and that may be the reason 
why you attached to me so much. 
If I build a house one day (my endless dream)      
definitely I name it as 'Hedgehog'.
