Little

A little boy comes up to me and utters words that I do not understand. It's not that he can't speak well for a four-year old. I just can't understand the language. He then grins, his mouth decorated with the absence of teeth. How is it possible that one can lose so many teeth at a young age? He squints his eyes with glee as he sees the puzzlement expressed in my face. He understands that expression yet there is little that I know about what goes on in his mind.
