THE WORLD OF CHILDREN

THE WORLD OF CHILDREN

The old always envy the world of children. They think our world is full of fun, but this is not always so for when a child breaks a glass; He is sure to get a scolding. When a child goes to bed late; He is sure to get a rebuke. When a child does not perform well in school; He is sure to get a dressing down. But when father breaks a glass; Mother only says well! And when father gets his spellings wrong; Mother only says it’s due to tiredness. So you see the world of children is not always full of fun. For we never have a good reason for our mistakes.
