his is not fair, ma! It is just 9 AM and you have woken me “Tso early,” complained Sumaya as she walked towards the washbasin with her toothbrush in hand.

“And what makes you think that 9 AM is too early? Do you know we are up since 5 AM?” asked ma. Sumaya made a face and started to brush her teeth disinterestedly.

12-year-old Sumaya was extremely lazy about getting up in the morning. She usually slept late and woke up late too. She lazed around in bed, lost in her thoughts even after getting up.

Her parents constantly advised her against wasting time, “Darling, holidays should not be wasted like this. You should use this time to learn a new hobby or read books.” But Sumaya ignored their advice so much fun,’’ she thought. and continued her habits.

Butterfly The tiny little things, Flapping their wings. They are looking for flowers, In the spring showers. It’s a lovely butterfly, Which loves to fly. They made our life colourful, As they’re very beautiful. My favourite little friend, Our friendship will never end. Please, be my friend forever, As friends are very rare.
