Pls Note - This post is almost in continuation of the
previous post which I wrote more than 2 years ago.
So, writing here after a long gap. Meanwhile, lot of stories
have been told to Arham.
He has grown up and is 4+ now.
Yesterday, I tried telling him a story and he sprung a
surprise and that’s what prompted me to write this post. Yesterday he said –
“Papa wait – I will
tell you the story”
And then he went on as follows –
"Once a time, there was
crocodile.
He was veeeeerrrrrrry
thirsty.(With an expression of being thirsty by touching his throat)
He had water on
terrace.(With hands pointing upwards towards the terrace)
He said Thank you.
And he went to the
Jungle.
There was tiger in the
Jungle.
Tiger ate the
crocodile.
Dinosaur in the
jungle.
Biiiiiiiiiiiig
Dinosaur. (Lot of stress on Big)"
And then a few lines which I could not understand.
Then …
"Tiger slept.
Crocodile slept.
And Dinosaur slept.
Thank you."
From his perspective, the story was complete and he was
satisfied.
And I was happy to hear the bed time story from my 4 year
old.
