Jack’s parents were often away as both of them went to work. So, his grandmother looked after him. She often scolded him when he made mistakes so that he might be a good boy. But Jack did not understand this and hated his grandmother for stopping him from doing things. One Saturday, Jack’s grandmother had to go to another town to visit a relative. So she said to Jack, “I will be away for two days. Take care and be a good boy.” Jack was happy as he could do anything as he pleased. So, he went to the park alone. As he sat on a bench, a big boy came there, saying, “Get up, boy! This is my bench.” When Jack did not get up, the boy kicked him hard. ‘Grandmother would have never let anyone even touch me!’ thought Jack as he went home. He understood how much his grandmother loved him and was always loving towards her.
