TITLE: The thousand rupee cheque..
Paragraph 1.
I opened the envelope and something slid down from it. I bent to pick it up, and found to my surprise, that it was a cheque for Rs.1000/. I immediately started thinking what I would do with it. Suddenly something strike to my mind, that I need to pack for my school summer camp.
I started my packing at 2 p.m. and I was done with it at 5 p.m. Mom reminded me about my medicine and Dad asked me to pack for cap, napkins, etc..
Paragraph 2.
Now I was free and was just looking at calendar. Much many thoughts were coming to my mind, and then I saw a special date on my calendar.
The date was of my grandmother's birthday. I decided to buy something good, beautiful and useful thing for her, as gift.
I informed mom and went to the gift shop. While walking on the street I saw many old men and women asking for funds to the old age homes. I was just caring about with the thousand rupees of my envelope. I ignore those people and walked on my way.
When I reached the gift shop I saw much older man cleaning the teapots. I was so shocked because this incident was happened with me twice.
Paragraph 3.
Once when I was on the trip to old age home and the second time when my grandfather was fed up of my uncle and had left the home.
That was the incident when I, my parents ,my small brothers were crying a lot. My heart broke up and I said to myself that I should donate those money to them.
Though that was not the perfect amount for them but I was eligible to give such amount.
Paragraph 4.
When I returned home and my grand mother asked me that what do you do of those 1000 rupees?
I reply that I was supposed to buy gift for you but I didn't. Except that I donated the money to old age home so that none other grandpa or grandma should leave the life like that.
