I didnt give you money. How did you see the movie and got these food items?.Did you stole it?".Emmaline said,"no aunty we did not steal anything.We got all these in free.The movie we watched was a free one and today is children's day.All the children (who come alone or with their parents) will get all items free.We took advantage of this and grabbed some".Her mother said,"then all counters are giving free items?".Melanie said,"yes mother...only if kids are there?".Her mother said,"then go grab all the things you want in whichever counter they give free items.After that , come here.I will be waiting in that place".Emmaline said,"not a bad idea let's go!".They went and grabbed toys, birthday caps, dolls, folders, school items and other things.They were very happy.As planned, after grabbing the items they ran to their mother.Her mother went out and told the kids to wait.They waited for long and long.But cars were only available for two people.Plus they had a bunch of items.Her mother thought for a minute and said,"kids I dont think there is any cab available for four of us.I was thinking about a bus.We can take one from the bus stop.Also it would be a good travel.We have many items.We wont be able to walk with these.Please try to understand.I'm not able to carry all these things".They felt very sorrow.Emmaline said,"sure aunty.We can take a bus from the bus stop.Before that,you give me some bags".Melanie said,"I and Felicia can also carry some bags.Give us some bags mother.You are working from morning continuously.Also you will be tired".Her mother looked very tired.She looked very sleepy too.She said,"thank you kids.So nice of you to help me.I'm indeed very tired and sleepy but you wont be able to carry this bags.They are very heavy.Your hand will pain.Do one thing ,you carry the lighter bags.There are only two heavy bags".Melanie didnt want her mother to carry anything.She wanted her to just walk and come along with them since she's working all the time.Doctor has said her to be in complete rest for a week but she did not take any rest and started working.She said,"no mother I have a good idea.Lets do one thing.Emmaline and Felicia take the items from the two bags and place one by one in the bags were going to carry.Place some lighter items in mothers bags.It will become lighter.You will get some rest, maybe a little and we will not carry all the items in the same time".Felicia and Emmaline said ,"yes boss as you say!"They sat on the seat in the bus stop.The bus reached.They got four(4)tickets from the ticket person.They finally sat down.Melanie's mother was sleeping.She looked very tired.The bus reached the area and Melanie told her mother,"mother mother wake up.The bus has reached our area".Her mother woke up and they all got down.They entered the house,washed their hands with soap.Ot was 8pm by then. They dressed up in night dress and went to the bedroom. Her mother served the plates , spoons , forks in the dining table.While the three kids were in the bedroom watching a famous show which is very popular in Paris . People all over Paris see this cartoon . It's not only entertaining for children also for elders!.Then Melanie's mom told everyone to come to the dining table . Melanie and her two friends came downstairs . Melanie's father also came down . All washed their hands and sat on the table , being ready to eat the delicious dinner . Then her mother said "Emmaline , how is the food , and what about you Felicia , do you both like the food?" . Felicia said , "yes aunty it's very tasty , I just dont like the green capsicums in the dish and the tomato because they are not very good to eat.I know they are healthy but I dont like them".Emmaline said,"oh yes I agree with her about tomatoes.They look quite good but they are not very tasty".Melanie's mother,"oh ok dear I will not put tomatoes next time...and capsicumps also".Melanie was bored and asked her mother ,"mother I feel bored and a little sleepy.Can i go to bed ?".Her mother said,"ok then , take Emmaline and Felicia also".Melanie nodded and went upstairs.She told them ,"you can choose whether you want the top bunk , middle bunk or low bunk". Emmaline said,"ok I will take the top one".Felicia said,"hmm....I will take the low bunk. Melanie do you want to take top bunk or low bunk?".Melanie said,"no.. no I will take the middle one.Lets all get to sleep and good dreams, good night.It was 9:00 at that time.Melanie's mother washed the plates, spoons,forks. Melanie woke up and drank a little water.Then she went to her mom and said, "what are you doing now. She sounded very angry .You shouldn't work in night.How many times do I tell you the same thing?.Why are you always working?.Doctor has said you to not work for a very long time and your the one who is not obeying the doctor neither father nor me!.You will get tired and then you will get sick , you wont be able to walk properly and then.You have also worked for a long time-". "ok dear you dont need to worry about me.I'm well and I'm not getting to get sick.I need to work a little for our daily things".

Melanie said,"a little?!.Is this a little for you?.How much your working everyday!".Her mother said,"ok dear dont worry about me.I will go to sleep in some time.You go to sleep.Tomorrow is your birthday!. Enjoy your day my daughter".Melanie smiled and went upstairs to her bed and lay on bed.The night was dark.The sky looked very colorful.The city of Toulouse in Paris looked very beautiful in the nights.The moon shined brightly white.The buildings look very glorious.The bridges look amazing. Toulouse was a very nice place.It was also called the Pink City.Melanie's mother cleaned the dining table with a cloth while Melanie's father was working on the laptop.Soon it became 9:30 , they both went to the bedroom and slept.

Melanie, Emmaline and Felicia were asleep.Melanie's mother and father also went to bed and fell asleep soon.The sun shined bright.It became morning.The hen made its everyday noise and started the morning.It was 4pm by then.Melanie's friends and her mother decorated the whole house with cutouts,paper crafts,paper foils,confetti,balloons etc.....and the things they got from the store in free.They placed a beautiful rangoli outside their house, on the floor.
