Who will Play with Me?

What do you like more to study or to play?

What will happen if you spend all of your time on playing and don’t study?

This is a story about a boy who does not like to study at all. One day he meets some creatures and then he changes. Why does he change himself? Let’s find out.

This is Rohit.

He does not like his studies. All of his friends go to school daily but he doesn’t go there.

He wanders here and there. One day he goes to the garden near his home. He finds no other children in the garden to play with. He sits on a bench under the big banyan tree. After some time, he notices a peacock dancing near the flowerbeds. Rohit walks to the peacock and says to him, “Will you play with me?” The peacock says, “I am busy. I am dancing. So I cannot play with you.”

Then Rohit meets a dog. He asks him, “Will you play with me?” I

The dog says, “I am busy. I am looking after my master’s house. So cannot play with you.”

He happens to see a parrot, crow, sparrow and horse. He asks them the same question. “Will you play with me?” “We are busy. We have many things to do. We cannot play with you.” they reply.

This has a great impact on Rohit. He says to himself, “All of them are busy. They are doing something. It is only I who am not working. Now I will also do my work and keep myself busy. I will give up my laziness.”

IHe returns home and decides to go to school daily. He starts studying attentively and completes his home work also. He learns his lessons regularly. In the evening, he goes to the playground and finds his friends there. He plays with them for about an hour.

After returning home, he takes his dinner and then revises what he studied at school.

With this change in his behaviour, he is now liked by everyone. His teachers praise him for his punctuality and his parents feel proud of him.
