This story is about a boy named Aryan. One fine day he goes to the market
along with his mother. They enter a toy shop. Aryan gets very excited to
see the wide range of toys in that shop. A robot on one of the shelves
catches his attention. Then he takes a look at an aeroplane. He finds that
amazing, too. He decides to buy both of them.
He goes to his mother and says, “Mamma, I’ve selected two toys. One is
a robot and the other is an aeroplane.”
His mother tells him, “Aryan, you can only choose one toy. I cannot buy two
for you.” Disheartened, he asks his mother why she cannot buy two toys
for him.
Seeing the sadness on his face, she agrees to buy him both the toys, but
on one condition. She tells Aryan, “Now you must take good care of your
toys.”
While his mother was shopping for household items, Aryan ended up

learnt about how he had lost TOY SHOP
his toy.

difficulty sleeping as he
kept thinking about
how he had lost his toy
and broken his promise
to his mother.
