It happens only in Childhood

                       Once, I saw toys,

I cried for two of the toys,
Brother slapped me thrice.

I won't come home,
I shouted twice,
Thus, Mother brought me the toys.

Heera searched some lays,
then, she bought some rice,
father was shocked to see the prices.

They again returned my toys,
We both were given rice,
Papa lent the prices.

I and Heera had opposite choices,
I was told to get the toys another day,
We accepted the parents' advice.
