Nowadays rising up from bed early morning is helped by melodious sweet
calls from Koyal, The Nightingale of India, and symbol of sweet song. This call
is supposed to foreshadow rain. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
This is one of my favorite hands by Michael Lawrence. South opens 1NT,
15-17 points, and North uses Stayman to reach 4♠.
East knows by counting the visible high-card points that West has two,
three or four points. The ♥2 lead suggests something in hearts, which can only be the King. Assuming West has the ♥K; there is a defense that may set 4♠.
At trick one, East plays the ♥9, not the ♥A. South wins in his hand and finesses the ªQ. East takes this and now continues the ♥A and another heart.
West takes his ♥K, which gets
East-West to the crucial moment. If West is wise enough to lead another heart,
East’s ♠10
is promoted to the setting trick.
The trees happily dancing
The cuckoo is singing
Indicating that rains are near
Giving us joy when it strikes
our ears!
