Greatest Gifts

Tina was a mischievous but headstrong girl. Her parents were sick and tired of her antics. They promised to buy her whatever she wished if she kept her room neat and clean, ate properly, and did her homework timely without any complaints from school till the next term examination. Tina promised to obey her parents and teachers. Her parents too noticed a huge change in her. Finally, the term examination ended, furthermore, Tina had done well. 

As promised her parents took her to the mall as well as told her they had fixed a budget of fifteen hundred for her in addition to hand her the money. Tina went to the toy shop and randomly picked toys. Her parents were at a loss seeing her grabbing unnecessary stuff. Suddenly Tina left the things on the trolley and came to her parents, "am I allowed to do whatever wish to". Her parents hesitatingly nodded. Tina walked out of the mall followed by her parents. She stopped near an Oldman selling lemonade in the street. Tina ordered three glasses of lemonade. Her parents were puzzled when she gave all the money to the old man asking him to keep it, who too was perplexed. Her furious mother grabbed her wrist and pulled a few steps far. Tina asked for forgiveness, together with continued, "I have many toys and you can buy me any time, but he is so old and fragile perhaps needs medical attention still working. Tina's mother let go of the wrist and tearfully hugged her. She had learned an enormous lesson.
