A prompt a day A Short Story

                       
Prompt 6  weekend wordle  # 1 A  short  story 

                               WeekendWordle1Ww



I am using the following three words  1, School  2. Back  3.Time from the words given above.

The story that  I am narrating  is a  real  incident . 
Sheela's  son, Deepak, was studying in class two. Deepak loved to have sandwiches in his lunch box. One day there was no bread , so Sheela packed   some laddoos and told him if he did not finish the laddoos, she would give him a beating. In the afternoon , the school bus came back  at the usual time . All  the children got down from the bus, but Deepak  was not  there. Sheela asked the driver,why  Deepak was not there. He gave a sheepish smile and said,''I presumed that Sahib would have picked him up from  school.''. This was  the height of  irresponsibility. Sheela got  furious.  
From  a distance  Deepak was walking back.  Sheela  immediately rushed in her car to pick him up. He wes sweating profusely and his eyes were red with tears flowing continuously.  Sheela asked him  what happened. Very innocently the child said, ''I was eating the laddoos''. Sheela did not know whether to laugh or to scold him.  A kind hearted car  driver had  found Deepak sitting on the roadside ,quite far from school,in the blazing heat and gave him a lift.
