“What’s the problem?”
“Nothing. Just a little thoughtful.”
“About what?”
Realizing he wouldn’t give up, I told him the
reason, “I have to go for a story telling session today. The kids want prince –
princess story every time. Was wondering which one to say today, for I cannot
think of a new one.”
“So easy! I’ll tell you one and you tell it to
them.”
A smile crossed my face. I really thought he
would be of great help.
“Have you heard of Cindrella?”
Obviously I knew it and so did every kid in my
class. Not to fade his enthusiasm, I pretended to be ignorant and asked him to
narrate.
“A beautiful girl, Cindrella was on her way to
her auntie’s house one day when she lost her way. On seeing a castle in front
of her, she enters to find a beautiful prince dancing away with ladies. She steps
in front and offers to dance with him. While dancing, Cindrella falls and
breaks her sandal’s heel. While the prince is away to get it mended, she
decides to leave and…….”
I was dumbstruck. What was he telling? On another thought I let
him finish it in his own version and make him feel like he could help me.
Atleast he tried to!
