A Little Girl's Story Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

A little girl's story
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As I was walking down the street
It happened I came across a house by it
I saw a little girl quarreling with her mother
She stormed out of the house annoyed and bitter

Suddenly she felt thirsty and hungry
While passing by a restaurant picking up fragrance savory
She wished delicious foods but had no money
The shopkeeper saw her standing desperately

"Hey little girl, you want to eat some food?
"But I have no money", the shy girl replied with sad mood
Okay, I will serve you free of cost
"Come in, he said, I have delicious foods for you my little guest"

The owner served her with a bowl of noodles
While eating she sobbed in between with tears
"What is it my dear? " he asked her with grace
"Nothing, she said, I am just touched by your kindness"

A stranger like you feeds me a bowl of noodles
While my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house
I hate my mother she is so cruel
"Oh no, sighed the owner, why do you think so little girl"

Only I served you a bowl of noodles
Your mother raised you since you were born with hurdles
For a bowl of noodles to me you are thankful
But for such a beautiful life, to her why are you not grateful?

On hearing so she felt ashamed of her behavior
Back home she begged apology to her mother
Upon seeing the little girl, her mother said come inside honey
You must be very hungry

I have got meals ready for you and your daddy
Come eat while it's still hot and yummy
Unable to control herself any longer
She was seen weeping in arms of her mother
