My Pencil Box

Sukhi loved to keep a collection of different pencil boxes. From childhood she had been collecting every pencil that her papa had got her. Every pencil box reminded of her father gifting her on her birthday. Since, Sukhi loved pencil boxes so much that her papa gifted her a new variety of the pencil every time he had to gift her on some special occasion.

Sukhi loved the purple pencil box the most since it had Spider man on it and it had magnet. She boasted about it to all her friends of how fancy it was and how unique it is. Her friends envied her for having the best pencil box ever. She then told them, “I can ask papa to get some for you all as well”. Everyone then cheered for her.

She went back to papa in the evening and told that she had promised her friends that she’d get pencil boxes for them. Her father then told her that he didn’t have enough money to buy for all of them as it was an expensive one. Sukhi then realised her mistake and asked sorry to her papa.

The next day she went to her friends and made a deal that each of her friends get to keep her pencil box for a week.

She then silently slipped off this message across, “Sharing is Caring.”
