The New Video Game

playing a video game. When his father and mother
decided to not get him any more games, he screamed and
cried for hours. They finally gave up and got him a new
one.

Raju knew he had to play each game fast to get a new
game. He had never lost a game once he learnt how to play
it. This was also the reason he got bored quickly.

His mother tried every day to tell him to do other things,
like read his books, go out and play with other friends,
learn his music which he was so fond of. But Raju only
wanted to play video games in his room.

When his mother would scold him, he would stop for a
while, go watch some TV or help her in the kitchen. But as
soon as she was busy with her work, he got back to playing
the games. Sometimes he would even play all night when
everyone was sleeping, so that they would not tell him to
stop.

Things went on for a while like this. Raju’s parents did not
know what to do with him anymore. Raju was just
managing to pass all his subjects at school.

After a while, his parents stopped bothering about his
habit. They got so used to him playing daily after school
that they let him be.
