Asma Learns a Lesson

Once upon a time there lived a girl and her name was Asma, she was intelligent and smart and she studied in third grade. She use to go school which was nearby her house. Everyday her father dropped her. One day she was very excited as it was her birthday and her uncle gave her a beautiful electronic watch. She showed her to all her friends and use to wear it everyday. But one day she kept it in her bedside drawer after coming from the school. Next day while getting ready for the school she couldn't remember so she looked around and then she found it in the drawer. This became her habit of keeping the things here and there sometimes she couldn't find her notebooks and uniform also. Everyday her mother helped her in finding her things as well as keeping the things at proper place.

 After few days, when Asma came back from the school she left the watch in the kitchen table and rushed out to play with her friends. When her mother came in the kitchen, she saw the watch and kept it in a safe place.

Next day, Asma was getting ready for the school she couldn't find her watch she frantically started looking around but all in vain. She asked her mom also but she said she doesn't know. Then she left for school gloomily.Her friend asked her was she is looking upset, "She replied, I have misplaced my watch." After coming from  he school she searched again and felt tired and upset. Then Asma's mother came to her and reminded her that how she left the watch on the kitchen table before going out to play and also told her that many times she leaves her things stray. She told Asma that her watch is safe and she can find it in the closet. Asma ran and found her favorite watch she hugged her mom. Then her mom asked her to promise not to be careless with her things.  Asma said, "Mom you have taught me a lesson, I promise not to be careless with the things." This way Asma learned to be responsible with her things.
