Weekend was a breeze like others. We went to Mantri for shopping, Ritesh had to get shirt and trouser for his engagement. We headed to Shoppers Stop and he tried different options and finally settled for a light green shirt and dark grey trouser. I also got a few underwear for Etu.
Next to Auchan for Adi dress for his B'day. Collection was not impressive at Max so shopped for few grocery items and returned. It was raining while we reached back. We already had snacks from KFC so were full. This was on Saturday. Last evening we went to get Adiv dress. Choose a yellow tee and ordered his cake at Just Bake, my favourite Irish Coffee. Normally i dont eat any cake or pasteries but sometimes i let go my inhibition.
Etu asked for a story and without that he will not sleep. So i told him below
==== start =====
There was once in a chinneese village a dark spell was cast. Moon never appeared in the sky and people often were curious to find out why? Some wise men suggested to go the temple priest and ask him. The priest told them that some time back the villagers caught hold of a thieve and beat him to death without finding out the cause. Moon was very angry and he was seeing everything since it was night. He told villagers, ok he was a thief but he could have tried honestly to get help or tried to work and only at the last when all hope faded he resorted to this. There could be better way of punishing him but certainly not take his life. How his family will live? You cannot punish his wife and childrens for doing this. I am going away from this place. I am very upset.
The priest told them to bring moon back to this village you should go and take care of his family. The people went to the thieves house and they are very sad to find there house in debris. They didnt had anything for last 3 days. The kids didnt had enough energy to cry. They were lying on the floor with hand on there stomach. There mama didnt had energy left to get up and get food for the kids. The village people quickly took them to village gave them food. The kids had milk. They called doctor and they took care of them pretty good. Soon the kids were off to school and there mom was working as a teacher in the school.
One day to the villagers surprise at night they saw full moon in there sky and moon was smiling happily.
==== end ======
I asked him, what you learnt from this fable. He just said one word sharing. That was enough to convey the message. He closed his eyes cuddled in my arms and we dozed off.
