A Deal is a Deal - Limited Edition 10 of 35 Print

A Deal is a Deal Story by Indu Varma Have you ever told your children the importance of keeping a promise? This is a story about keeping your word. One weekend two of my grand children aged six and three were visiting. The three year old, Maala, did not want to sleep by herself, as she was afraid of the loud train noise. There are multiple trains that pass through the night in our town. The proximity of train station means that in the dead of the night the train whistle of the approaching train and rumbling noise of cars going on the track is loud enough to wake up the dead. Maala wanted her six-year-old brother, Sohun, to sleep next to her. The six-year old brother very wisely proposed, “OK, I will make you a deal. If you don’t cry when the train passes by at midnight, I will sleep on the same mattress.” She agreed. Well, sure enough the loud sound of the train passing by at midnight woke up Maala, and she started crying. Sohun then said in a very calm and firm voice to his sister, “Maala, a deal is a deal. You said you won’t cry, so stop crying. Besides, Naniji and Nanaji don't like cry babies. ” Maala immediately stopped crying. She said, ‘OK’ and went back to sleep.  What a great lesson to all of us! Once you give your word, you have only one choice,i.e. keep it or you lose your trust.
