Mommy I want to stay with you ! ( Short Story )
"But my dear , you will have a lot of fun there, you know, there are toys and swings in the school.", said the mother.
Girl did not stop crying, ''No I don't want to play with toys I want to be with you."
Mother again tried to calm down the child, ''You know baby, there are many children like you , you can play with them."
Girl started crying more, "No, mommy no I don't want to go there I have to stay with you."
They reached the school, the little girl did not want to leave her mother at any cost ,she was crying and only crying. Somehow the class teacher succeeded in making the little girl calm and convinced her to go to the class.
Mother returned home with a very heavy heart.Though she was busy with her household chores but her heart wasn't in them, it was with her daughter. She was watching the clock again and again and she could not wait to get her daughter back after the school.
At last the time came when her daughter's school was over.
The restless mother reached the school and picked her little daughter. The girl hugged her mother tightly. On the way to home the little girl said to her mom.....
''Mommy I will not go to the school again''.
"Why baby, wasn't the school good ?", Mother asked .
"It was good , but I don't want to go there again."
"Were the children in your class bad ?", Mommy asked .
''No they were also good, but I will not go to school!", replied the little child.
She held her mom's face in her small hands and said with teary eyes "I don't want to go any where!", I just want to stay with you!"
Do you know who is the girl in the story? Well my youngest daughter is the little girl of this story and the mother is obviously me.
My daughter is 14 years old teenage girl now and she studies in 9th standard . This is a sweet and emotional memory of her childhood and as a mother I can't forget those moments.
A very very happy Mother's day!!

Some interesting facts about '' LAUGHING BUDDHA''
You all must be familiar with the statue of fat, smiling and happy "Laughing Buddha''. It is believed that if someone keeps and displays the statue of laughing Buddha at home or at business place, it brings luck and prosperity for them. Laughing Buddha is also known as ''happy man''
In this post I am sharing some interesting facts about laughing Buddha.
1. Most People believe that Laughing Buddha is the statue of Lord Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism but the fact is that the character of laughing Buddha is believed to be based on ancient Buddhist Chinese monk who lived in an old cave more than 1000 years ago.
2. Laughing Buddha is known as '' Hotei'' in Japan and Pu-Tai in China.
3.According to a legend,if anyone rubs the belly of Laughing Buddha it brings good fortune, cheerfulness and wealth.
4.There is a belief that Laughing Buddha is so happy because his tolerance level is very high and he doesn't hold any grudge or hatred against anyone.
5. In China people also believe that Laughing Buddha is the protector of children as well as the poor and the week. He carries a bag full of sweets and toys for children and he is often pictured with children.
What I like about Laughing Buddha is that he always smiles and laughs and inspires us to be happy and cheerful all the time.
A Young man's wish (Chinese folktale)
One day a young man came to visit the old man.
"What is the purpose of your visit ",asked the old man.
''O my respected elder , I have a wish ,will you please grant my wish?" , said the young man.
''What is your wish ?", the old man asked.
"Sir, I want to help the needy people for my whole life.I want to serve the human kind."
"Oh! that is very noble wish, I am giving you a magic box it will help you to make your wish come true'', said the old man.
''Thank you so much sir, I am really grateful to you.", the happy young man said.
''But keep in mind , that you must open this box only after reaching home'', the old man warned the man.
On the way to home out of curiosity the young man opened the magic box. And guess what ? He immediately turned into a coconut tree.
But his wish still came true as the coconut tree is very useful and has a lot of benefits for human kind.
