Sumana and Prashanthi work in a school, one day, one Prashanthi was very sad almost in tears. When Sumana asked her what happened. She said, she had a talk with the school counselor(child counselling section), and the counselor told her that her son is not interactive, and she started crying.
Sumana wondered how does it matter for a grade one student ? he has lot of time to learn.
So Sumana told her, "tell him nice stories daily, so that his imagination will improve and he will start talking".
Next day Prashanthi came to Sumana. "Sumana, I told him the story of Man into Space.. and told him the moral " If you study well you can also be a scientist and travel into space".
Then he answered, Mom you said, on experimental basis, first they sent a dog right... Yes I said". So the Dog didn't study... but it went into the space... So in this story I liked the Dog... and I like to be like the Dog... now let me sleep" ...
Sumana, Your story telling didn't work..."
Sumana couldn't stop laughing....
She said, It worked Prashanthi... and it worked wonderfully...you should be proud of your son... for his thoughtful answer... now don't worry about your son... he is going to be amazing... Best of luck...
She smiled...at last..
