Mini, a five-year-old girl, was full of
apprehension for her vacation. Her parents worked for a multinational company
and were very busy. Mini lived in a nuclear family. She wished her grandparents
stayed with her. But they preferred living in the village, as their health
showed improvement in the village. This vacation, Mini wanted to spend all the
time with her parents. She wanted to visit some foreign locations with them.
Mini kept her fingers crossed. Alas, her father wasn’t granted leave, and they
had to cancel their travel plan.
Chagrined, Mini cursed her parents. They decided to
take Mini to her grandparents. Mini loved staying at the village.
Her grandparents showered immense love for her. She
didn’t miss her parents a lot. Her two months’ vacation flew instantly. She
wished she could stay back more. She loved going to the temple with her
grandmother. She loved going to farms with her granddad. And she loved plucking
fruits from trees with the help of granddad. Her mother cooked delicious food.
Soon her vacation was over, and her parents arrived
to take her. She was fond of her granddad's stories. When she came back home, she
couldn’t sleep for nights. Her parents were worried and asked her the reason.
She asked her father to call his granddad, who told her a bedtime story. Thus,
Mini fell asleep.
Then every night, her father called grandad told her
a story on the phone. Once when grandad was very critically ill. He asked the grandmother
to write all his stories in a book. They sent the book to Mini. Thus, Mini
developed her reading habit.
Moral of the story – Life with grandparents is truly grand.
