A vacation of surprises
“Tanmay, you’re playing the video game again. It’s time for bed,” Vartika, Tanmay’s mother, called.
“But, ma, it’s holidays. And I just started playing,” he complained. But his mother refused to listen to him.
“It’s not good for you to spend so much time staring at the screen. Also, we need to wrap up the day quickly. Early in the morning, we are leaving for my village.”
“Village? I don’t want to go.” Tanmay thought to himself, “It will be so boring.”
“We are going to spend the holidays in my Nani’s village. It’s a beautiful place, and a fresh experience for you,” smiled his mother. “And, there’s a surprise for you, something you have never seen.”
“Really? What’s that?” Tanmay put the mobile down, suddenly curious.
“Well, there’s a reason why it’s called a surprise.”
