I WANT TO BE A TV

A Primary School teacher asked her pupils to write an
essay on ”A wish you want from God?" At the end of
the day, the teacher collected all the essays given by
her pupils. She took them to her house, sat down and
started marking.
Whilst marking the essays, she sees a strange essay
written by one of her pupils. That essay made her very
emotional. Her husband came and sat beside her and
saw her crying. The husband asked her, "What
happened?" "What's making you cry"
She answered "Read this. It is one of my pupil's
essay."
"Oh God, Make me a Television. I want to live like the
TV in my house.
In my house, the TV is very valuable. All of my family
members sit around it. They are very interested in it.
When the TV is talking, my parents listen to it very
happily.
They don’t shout at the TV. They don’t quarrel with the
TV. They don’t slap the TV. So I want to become a TV.
The TV is the centre of attraction in my house. I want
to receive the same special care that the TV receives
from my parents. Even when it is not working, the TV
has a lot of value.
When my dad and mom come home, they immediately
sit in front of the TV, switch it on and spend hours
watching it. The TV is stealing the time of my dad and
my mom. If I become a TV, then they will spend their
time with me.
While watching the TV, my parents laugh a lot and they
smile many times. But I want my parents to laugh and
smile with me also. So please God make me a TV.
And last but not the least, if I become a TV, surely I
can make my parents happy and entertain them. Lord I
won't ask you for anything more. I just want to live like
a TV. Please turn me into a TV.
The husband completed reading the essay. He said
"My God, poor kid. He feels lonely. He did not receive
enough love and care from his parents. His parents are
horrible."
The eyes of the primary School teacher filled with
tears. She looked at her husband and said, "Our son
wrote this essay."
