SELFISH

SELFISH . . . Oh! How we loathe selfish people. And here is a story of a SELFISH girl named Jane. Jane’s mother worked hard by washing, cleaning and cooking in the homes of people to earn a living. Jane was an adolescent who loved frolicking around with her friends and many a times she was scolded for her mischievous behavior. But today the word that was constantly bouncing to and fro in her mind was the word “STEAL…STEAL…STEAL.” It was night and she quietly slid out from her bed and went to her mother’s room. She stole money from her mother’s cupboard. Her mother had saved to pay Jane’s school fee. Jane knew she would be reprimanded for stealing. She paid for her ill mother’s bottles of medicine. Yes, Jane was selfish for her mother’s life. Do you hate SELFISH Jane ???
