The TV Tower

It was a ritual everyday for the little girl and her grandfather . To climb the stairs every evening .In the balcony the grandfather would lift the girl to see what they had come to watch.
The TV tower.The grandfather would wait patiently holding the child till she had finished staring at the tall, majestic, huge TV tower.What beauty and amusement did the girl find in it? And why did the grandpa choose to show her "The TV tower" still remains a huge mystery.

Many years passed .The TV tower still remained .The girl is tall and can manage to catch a glimpse of the TV tower on her own now.But Ah .She had to climb up now to the second floor.
Thanks to the vertically growing city. TV tower is no longer visible from the first floor balcony. Why do we even need a TV tower now ?

And the grandfather is sick now.Dopamine is playing the game .He could not accompany the girl for their daily ritual anymore .But the TV tower and the grandfather are still a charm and bliss for the girl.
