World Cup

-Na Ki Prasad

‘Look! Our Balu never studies! Always watches cricket match! Annual exams are round the corner!’

‘It’s all right, Vasantha! I’ll warn him.’ Husband assured her but he was silent till the end of the match.

Eventually the match ended.

‘Who won?’ father asked his son.

‘Our people won the match! It’s a good match! Twenty runs in six balls! In the last over two sixer and one four.......it was a great game.....was very interesting!’

‘Oh! For somebody’s victory or defeat you wasted so much of your time! There’re only two months for your Matric exam. In this your defeat or victory will be decided!’

‘Daddy! Excuse me! I realize my mistake! Now I’ll study with all in my heart.’

Seeing the tact of her husband and her son’s reply, she was very happy!
