MALIYA THE LAST BORN

Maliya to buy some apples

It was sunday , venita's uncle was resting at home when he called maliya to buy him some apples from the greengrocer across the road. Maliya, reluctantly dragged her feet hazily towards her uncle.

"If u like grumble, that's your problem. I have no time for your irritating attitude. Just go as fast as your lazy legs can carry you and return to me in a jiffy!" Venita's uncle uttered.

Maliya took the money and ran towards the street but unfortunately the money given to her for Apples slipped out of hand. Maliya search a little for the money and when she couldn't find it, she stopped and sat for a while. When maliya noticed small gathering of girls playing hide and seek game, she joined. Venita's mother hardly let her go out, her excuse was that she would get herself injured.

Maliya remembered what she was meant to do, she left the playing ground to the greengrocer's stalk to see if it was possible to get the apples without paying if she narrate how she lost the money given to her.

Maliya got there, but couldn't say anything. "what do you want ? Answer me fast please . I've got other things to do " Mr john blurted impatiently.

"I want apple, my uncle said he'd give you the money later" maliya lied to mr john.

" You should have said so rather than stand there saying nothing" He hissed.

"here you are" he handed the apples to maliya.

Maliya returned home.

"What in the world kept you so long just to buy apples ? " venita's uncle asked in a harsh tone.

"He....he.....i" Maliya stuttered.

"What did he or you do ? " because you've been gone almost an hour! You better open up before i s***k your dull head!.

"I.....he....uncle...am sorry..." Maliya cried.
