 The Chocolate Thief I came back from school and I was reading a book in my room. Every fourth grader has to do reading every day, which I am. Suddenly, my mouth watered. I was only thinking about that. I couldn’t wait anymore. I went to my mother and asked her in my sweetest voice,” Mommy, can I have a chocolate bar?” “Okay,” my mother replied,” You can have a chocolate bar, but you can only take one.” “OK mommy, I’ll only take one chocolate bar.” I ran to the kitchen as fast as a cheetah. I stood in front of the refrigerator and opened it, as fast as lightning. I looked around the refrigerator and I found the chocolate bar. One look at it and I could feel it melting in my mouth. SWISH! SWISH! I quickly snapped myself out of day dream land. I took out the chocolate bar and started opening the wrapper. Then slowly I put it in my mouth. “Mmmm, this is heaven.” I told myself. After a few seconds, the chocolate bar disappeared into thin air. “No!” I cried, “My chocolate bar is gone!” I need to have another, I thought, but mommy told me I can only take one. Maybe I can. “Should I take another one, or should go back to my room like an angel?” I asked myself. I checked if my mother was watching me, but she wasn’t there. Suddenly a hand popped in the refrigerator, which took a chocolate bar. As I was walking, I could hear my heart beating hard. BUM! BUM! BUM! BUM! When I got to my room, quick as lightning, I tore open the rapper, and then I heard a voice from the living room. “Malini, can you come over here?” I froze. If you saw me you would think I was half reptile, half human. Did she see me? Or is calling me to tell me something else? Probably it’s that. I walked toward my mother. Nothing bad will happen, nothing bad will happen, I thought bravely. “Why did you call me, mommy?” I asked in a shaky voice. “I saw you eating a chocolate bar in the kitchen. Didn’t you.” my mother questioned me. Drops of water ran down my forehead. I gulped and looked down at the floor. “I d-d-didn’t,” I stammered, “I d-d-didn’t eat a c-c-chocolate bar i-in the k-kitchen!” “Are you sure?” my mother asked me with an I-know- you’re-lying-look. “Yes,” I answered. “Well, if you’re that sure, why don’t you open your mouth so you can show me.” my mother told me. “Well… um I….”I began,” I’ll open my mouth.” What else could I do, I thought, if I said no, she would easily know I was doing that not to get in trouble. “What are you waiting for;” my mother asked me, “Open your mouth!” Slowly, I opened my mouth. Teeny, tiny chocolate bits were on my teeth. “Malini!”my mother asked me in a surprising tone,” I never knew you would to me” “I sorry,” I told my mother,” I won’t do this again, I promise.” “Well if you want, you can eat the other chocolate bar,” my mother told me. How come she knew that I took another chocolate bar? “I saw you taking one in the kitchen.” my mother told me as if she could read my mind. “Okay.” I replied. I was walking to my room and I thought. I’ve learnt a new lesson today. Never try to be a thief, always ask before taking. Article posted November 20, 2008 at 12:37 AM • comment (2) • Reads 261 • see all articles |
