From Behind the StorieS

Saurabh was a lazy boy. He did all his work at the last minute. His mother was

very upset with this habit of his. He always did his homework in the morning
and missed his school bus frequently. His mother was always rushing to complete

his work.

One day, he got up late in the morning despite his mother trying to wake him up.
That day she decided not to help him get ready.

Saurabh: Mother, please get me my uniform and breakfast. I need to complete

my homework. I am late for school.

Mother: (determined) No, Saurabh. I am not going to help you. Do your
work on your own, today.

Saurabh: (disbelievingly) What! How will I dress up quickly on my own?
Mother: (calmly) You should have thought of it before. You need to take care

of things on your own.

Saurabh’s mother got ready for office. Saurabh felt lost but he continued working
as he knew that his Maths facilitator would not be very happy.
