He inserted the coin, and then put one more tick mark against the piggy-bank. He counted to confirm. The marks added up to Rs. 40.
This is the amount he required so that he could buy the Gudiyaa that he wanted. He had seen the Gudiyaa in Ram-Lakhan Stores display pane. Since he did not get pocket money from his parents like his friends, he had to cut on his expenses. He walked sometimes to home to save the bus ticket, made books out of old paper to save on stationary, put 50 paise instead of a rupee in the Shiv-mandir hundi. But he did not mind all this at all. He wanted the Gudiyaa. So, he broke open the piggy-bank, and counted the money again. It was accurate. Enthusiastic and overjoyed, he ran to the stores. He showed the money and demanded, "Give me the Gudiyaa......"
The Shopkeeper replied, "You are too late. The last one sold out yesterday evening".
He travelled back to his home by bus.........

ReplyDeleteAfter all the efforts the little clad puts in, he does not get what he wants. So do you mean that one does not always get what one wants or do you mean that success in achieving your goals depends on both time and efforts.
