Aarohi was little girl
with an obsession for lollypops and chocolates. Her mother all ways used to
tell her, " If you don't cut down on eating chocolate and candy, you will
get cavities in your teeth. More so as you only brush your teeth once."
Aarohi received the same warning everyday but was wont to ignore it.
One day as Aarohi got ready to go to school; she saw her mother's purse lying on the table. She could not control her temptation and stealthily took out some money and quietly put it in her school bag. As she was stepping out of the house she heard her mother, "Aarohi do not eat chocolate or lollypops or …….."
" I will get cavities in my teeth, more so as I brush them only once." She finished the sentence for her mother.
Both mother and daughter burst out laughing and the mother said, "See how sensible my daughter is, she remembers even the words I use in their correct sequence." Aarohi smiled and left for school.
During recess Aarohi came out from the school and went to a candy shop. There she bought five lollypops, finished two in the shop, and one more on her way back to her class. She carefully kept the remaining two in her school bag.
Aarohi returned home and as her friends were waiting for her, she quickly changed her clothes, combed her hair and went out to play.
Aarohi's mother took her
school bag and was arranging her books when she found the two lollypops in the
bag. She took them out and kept it in the cupboard. Aarohi came back late and
she and her mother took dinner together. She was now asked by her mother to
finish her homework.
Aarohi took her bag and sat down to do her homework but she could not find the two lollipops she had so carefully kept there. She realized that her mother must have found them and taken them away.
Aarohi immediately ran to her mother. She put her head in her mother's lap and began to cry. Feeling guilty she promised her mother, " Mother from now on I will never eat chocolates or lollypops. I am sorry that I stole money from your purse this morning. I promise not to repeat this mistake."
Aarohi's mother smiled and comforted her lovingly. "My dear daughter! I am happy that you have realized your mistake. I will not say anything about it anymore, I do not think that you do not need any more advice. You are indeed very sensible."
