It was my birthday and one of my
friends presented a video game to me as birthday gift. I was so
happy to get that game that I almost forgot rest of the world and
was busy all the time with that game only. I was so crazy about that
video game that despite repeated warnings from my mom I did not care
much about my forthcoming exams. I used to spend all my time with
that game only and hence did not do studies at all. Therefore when
the result of the exam was declared I scored very less in all the
subjects. This made my mom so furious that she broke my video game.
I was so very disappointed to see this that tears rolled down on my
cheeks and without saying a single word I went to my room and locked
the room from inside. And I did not come out even for the dinner.
Next day again I did not talk to my mom and went to school without
having breakfast. When I returned from school I found the same video
game in a new pack lying on my study tale in my room. And a chit was
attached to it, which read, "Your behavior has hurt me. You did
not eat anything since last evening just because of this game so
here it is. Go and have your lunch. You should not forget that
studies are no less important so do not ignore your studies for such
games." ~ Your Mom.
I went straight to my mom and thanked her for the video game and
also made a promise to her that I will never ever sacrifice my
studies. And then we had lunch together as she too had eaten nothing
since I ate nothing.
