An unsavoury handicap

This happened much before I even heard the word "Handicap", forget about its multiple meanings.

About seven of us used to play together when I was small. On one particular day only three of us were around. One was a boy, Vijayan more popularly known as Kuttan and the other was Srilatha, a girl about 4 to five years younger than both of us.

We devised a running race, first between equals, two boys, that I won and then a losers final between Kuttan and Srilatha. Srilatha was so small that I gave her the advantage of a shorter run compared to Kuttan and as luck would have it Srilatha won. Kuttan was furious in the loss and wouldn't talk to me for a week or so.

Then the episode faded away and we became friends again.

We were children then.
