The birthday gift

The Birthday Gift

It was Satish's Birthday. He woke up so early in the morning. He finished his daily chores. He wore a new dress. He was very much keyed up. His parents wished him. He asked his mother “What is my gift mom?” his mother said "Sorry dear .Your father had a lot of debt. He had to clear up them. So we didn't buy you a gift." "Stop !You need not give any justifications .I will not speak to you." Satish then went to school .He distributed the chocolates to his friends. Raju, his close friend asked him what was the gift given to him. Satish could not speak. He started crying. Raju could deduce what had happened. He tried a lot to console Satish but he couldn't. Satish felt very distressing. He could not even pay attention to the class. On his way to home, Satish saw a little boy crying acrimoniously. Satish thought his mother would have trampled him. Suddenly a thought came to his mind. He got down from his cycle and in a little while took few chocolates from his bag and gave it to the boy. There was a gorgeous grin on the boy's face. Satish was wordless. He had received his birthday gift.
