Rasika's Dream

Rasika was interested in films. Sometimes she went to Colombo to see films. She did not miss any foreign film. She wanted to be an actress. She sent applications to film directors. A director offered her a small part of a film. But it was an important moment for Rasika. She rehearsed for several days. She had only a few words to say. When the film first screened she took her friends to see it. But she was not in the film. The director had not included the scene in which Rasika had appeared. Now she has given up the idea of becoming an actress.
