(Jack London, To Build a Fire)
2.Presently the boat also passed to the left of the correspondent with the captain clinging with one hand to the keel. He would have appeared like a man raising himself to look over a board fence, if it were not for the extraordinary gymnastics of the boat. The correspondent marvelled that the captain could still hold to it.
They passed on, nearer to shore—the oiler, the cook, the captain—and following them went the water-jar, bouncing gayly over the seas.
The correspondent remained in the grip of this strange new enemy—a current. The shore, with its white slope of sand and its green bluff, topped with little silent cottages, was spread like a picture before him. It was very near to him then, but he was impressed as one who in a gallery looks at a scene from Brittany or Algiers.
He thought: "I am going to drown? Can it be possible? Can it be possible? Can it be possible?" Perhaps an individual must consider his own death to be the final phenomenon of nature."
(Stephen Crane, The Open Boat)

"Kabuliwallah" is a short story by Rabindranath Tagore. It centers around unusual friendship between Mini, a five year old girl, and Kabuliwallah, a merchant from Afghanistan.
The obvious age gap and unknown background and intentions of the merchant concern Mini's parents who object to this unconventional relationship. However, Mini and Kabuliwallah seem to really enjoy in the time spent together, playing innocent games and telling jokes.
Being accused of a murder, Kabuliwallah ends up in jail, which puts a stop to a two's friendship.
After many years, Kabuliwallah leaves the prison and heads to Mini's house only to find that she's getting married that very day and that she completely forgot about him, her childhood best friend.
There, Kabuliwallah finally reveals to Mini's father, who is the narrator of the story, that he enjoyed spending time with her because he is also a father and that, because of the nature of his work, he only got to see his daughter once a year. So, in Mini, he found a daughter to whom he could express his parental emotions, redeeming him self, in a way, for not spending time with his own daughter.
