‘The three roses’

‘Ting Tong Ting Tong’ “What happened dear?” Aunty asked while rubbing her eyes. It was the call bell that I rang that woke them up from their sleep. I felt awkward that I woke them up on a Sunday.

” Where is Kiyu, Aunty,” I asked.  Aunty replied, “She is sleeping, when she wakes up, I will send her to play”. While Aunty was leaving, I heard a voice from behind “Mama, I have woken up,  please get me ready”. We have planned to go cycling today. 

She is Kiyara, my friend, among the three of us, Kiyara is the smallest.  “Aunty you can get Kiyara ready till then I will call Aadu and come “Saying this I ran away fast.

Now, I stood before her door and called “Aadu! Aadu “I am ready “. This was Aadita, She is my second friend. She came running from inside. She had already woken up and was ready at the door with her pink tee shirt and pajamas at the appointed time. 

Kiyu was also ready by the time and we took her along. Don’t you want to know who I am, now?  I am Elona, and I take the responsibility of taking the other two friends to play.  But I prefer to play rather than study like my mama is always insisting.

So, is it not my need to do it? So, the three of us took our bicycles and started cycling inside our society compound. After some time while we were playing cycle race with other children my dad called us. All three of us hurried to our home. Dad’s friend had come there. Uncle had three roses in his hand. Three very pretty roses in pink, white and yellow color. But since our favorite colour was pink, our eyes were on the pink rose.  

Uncle asked which color do you want? Pink color, all of us shouted together. Then there was a big fight among us. Mom came from the kitchen and looked. Mama did not come to settle our quarrel as she had to serve breakfast to the uncle. She said, you don’t fight.

Uncle said “You three friends can take these roses. You can decide who wants which colour. Let me see. What will you guys do? “I took all of them to the balcony without saying a word. We had our secret discussion for some time and went back to Uncle. We took all the 3 flowers from our uncle.

From the flowers, Adu and I took the pink flower and gave it to Kiara. She is our smallest friend, that is why we decided to let her take what she likes. Adita took the white rose as she is very patient and beautiful and also like lilies, like the white color.

The yellow rose was for me as the sunshine of the group with a lot of energy.  The moral of the story is that we are best friends and all friends love each other.
