– Orif! – I shout.
– What do you want? – says Orif.
– Come on, let’s do the homework.
– No, better you come to me.
Over and over I ask him to repeat what he said, for my mom allow me to go out. Finally, I take my bag and disappear. A minute is enough to copy out the homework. As I said before, I prefer using my spare time with something important, so I go to play football.
Today I had the same plan. When I had just put on my shoes, suddenly my mom called me.
– Yes, dear mom?
– Why didn’t you feed the chickens?
She told me to feed them in the morning, but I have forgotten. I don`t know what to do…
– What did you say, mom?
– I said, why haven`t you fed the chickens?!
– Those freeloaders have to start thinking of finding food for themselves mom, – I said trying
to change the subject.
– Boy, seems like you haven`t even given them water!
– Mom, I don`t know why, but they are not drinking water anymore.
– Really?!
– Yes…
It seems that I said something wrong and my mom started to look for a stick to hit me. I don`t know how, but I found a way to run away.
I thought that it’s over. The day before I had a similar situation. Every day when I return home from school mom asks:
– What mark did you get son?
– Five (excellent mark) as always!
– Oh you are my dear, – she says. Then she gives me some sweets and allows me to play.
Yesterday she said nothing, but asked me to show my mark book. It was the end for me.
– Our teacher has taken our mark book mom.
– I said, open your bag!
I had no choice…
– What is this? – mom asked.
– Two.
– What about this?
– Three.
– Are you kidding? Why did you say you always get five?!
– I am not a liar mom. Two plus three is five, mom!
– Really?
– Yes…
With shaking hands, she continued.
– What is this?
– Two, mom.
– And this?
– This Is what I got from physics.
– Ok, and what about this?
– I can’t say anything, but in total, they all will be five, mom.
– Really?
– Yes…
Thanks god I was good in physical training. With a single jump I found myself in the middle of our yard. I was sure she was ready to beat me.
So, yesterday was not the best day for me. I told my sister to bring my bag from the house and went to see Orif. But he was not at home. I told his mom that I had brought his bag.
– But he has taken his bag, – said Orif`s mom.
– So, your son has lied to me! – I said.
