"Make Me A Television" - A Thought-Provoking Short Story by Nobody: 9:59am On Jun 01, 2016 |
A Primary School teacher asks her students to write an essay about what they would like God to do for them. At the end of the day, while marking the essays at home, she read one that made her very emotional. Her husband, who had just walked in, saw her crying and asked her: 'What happened?' She answered: 'Read this. It is one of my students essay. ''Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special: Make me into a Television. I want to take its place and live like the TV in my house. Have my own special place, and have my family all around me. To be taken seriously when I talk. I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without interruptions or questions. I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives even when it is not working. Have the company of my dad when he arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want me when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring me. And I want my brothers to fight to be with me. I want to feel that family just leaves everything aside, very now and then, just to spend some time with me. And last but not least, ensure that I can make them all happy and entertain them just as the television. Lord I don't ask you for much. I just want to live like a TV.' At that moment the husband said: 'My God, poor kid. What horrible parents!' The Primary School teacher looked up at him and said: 'That essay is from our son'! 24 Likes 7 Shares |

You just can't be bad and give out good deeds, no bad tree will produce good fruit. Do not judge or give advise, except you are not guilty of such. So emotional, you don't have to be rich or poor to love or be loved, love can be given at anytime. I am a product of love, that is why my mum is my priority. I LUV U MUM |
