I WANT TO BE A TV
A Primary School teacher asked her
pupils to write an essay on ”A wish you
want from God?" At the end of the day,
the teacher collected all the essays given
by her pupils. She took them to her house, sat down and started marking.
Whilst marking the essays, she sees a
strange essay written by one of her
pupils. That essay made her very
emotional. Her husband came and sat
beside her and saw her crying. The husband asked her, "What happened?"
"What's making you cry"
She answered "Read this. It is one of my
pupil's essay."
"Oh God, Make me a Television. I want to
live like the TV in my house. In my house, the TV is very valuable. All
of my family members sit around it. They
are very interested in it. When the TV is
talking, my parents listen to it very
happily.
They don’t shout at the TV. They don’t quarrel with the TV. They don’t slap the
TV. So I want to become a TV.
The TV is the centre of attraction in my
house. I want to receive the same special
care that the TV receives from my
parents. Even when it is not working, the TV has a lot of value.
When my dad and mom come home, they
immediately sit in front of the TV, switch
it on and spend hours watching it. The
TV is stealing the time of my dad and my
mom. If I become a TV, then they will spend their time with me.
While watching the TV, my parents laugh
a lot and they smile many times. But I
want my parents to laugh and smile with
me also. So please God make me a TV.
And last but not the least, if I become a TV, surely I can make my parents happy
and entertain them. . Please turn me into
a TV.
The husband completed reading the
essay. He said "My God, poor kid. He
feels lonely. He did not receive enough love and care from his parents. His
parents are horrible."
The eyes of the primary School teacher
filled with tears. She looked at her
husband and said, "Our son wrote this
essay." May our children never desire to be
WhatsApp Phones or TV.
