Lesson from a Geometry Box

On my way back, amidst the heavy traffic my geometry box slipped of my hand and fell on the road. The green lights flashed and I was in the middle of the road trying to pick up my geometry box. My mother just pulled me aside and asked me to wait until the red light appeared. I saw a PMT bus, a rickshaw and a motorbike, all running on my geometry box. If my mother had not pulled me aside I would have been along with my geometry box having vehicles running over me. What would have been my fate?

After the red signal appeared my mother quickly picked up the few things that escaped the damage. Later, on reaching home she explained to me that that this careless step of mine of leaving my geometry box in school could have landed me in a lot of trouble. From that day onwards I have been very careful with my possessions. I don8217;t want to repeat this kind of an incident again.
