SHORT STORY ON MOTHER

***SHORT STORY ON MOTHER*** A teacher in her classroom of Second Standard students, once explained and gave a lesson on the 'magnet' and its functions and uses. The next day, the teacher conducted a written test. One of the questions in this test was: "My full name has six letters. My name begins with 'M' One of my functions is to pick up things. Another function is to attract things towards me. Who am I?" When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to see the answer that was given to this question by over half the class. Any guesses as to what answer did the children write? Hmmm…. They wrote the word - "Mother!” The little children, with their own personal experience had seen and witnessed a Mother being the person.. … who would pick up things ( and especially the children!) … who would attract to herself (especially the children themselves!)
