Ambika

Trisha was going back home after a fun-time at the park. She was climbing up the stairs, thinking of all the candies she could eat when she got home. Just then, she saw a 50 rupee note lying here on the steps. She picked it up and wondered who to return it to. Since she didn’t see anyone around, she decided that it was okay to put it in her little pink purse and buy candies with it. She then ran back to a candy store instead of going home. There, she bought candies of different colors. She ate one and remembered what her mother had told her about sharing food with people who had nothing to eat. Trisha went running to her friends Roopa and Gopi who were playing outside their house in the slums. She sat with them under a tree and ate all the candies. Seeing their smiling faces, she decided to buy them candies whenever she could with the pocket money her mother gave her. But if any of you find money lying around the stairs, please try to find its rightful owner. If you still don’t find anyone, you too can use the money like Trisha did to buy candies for children who can’t buy it themselves.
