ONCE upon a time there was a boy whose name was Murad. He was the only son of his parents. His mother did her best to make her son better and taught him good lessons and guided him about right and wrong. One day when he was going to school his mother told him not to trust any stranger.
“What if someone asks for help?” Murad asked.
His mother replied, “Don’t talk to strangers, it will be better.”
“But helping is a good deed, Mom.” Murad said innocently
“Yes, of course, but if we trust everyone, we will be in trouble. Don’t take help from strangers and if someone gives you something to eat, take it but don’t eat.” His mother advised.
“Okay mom, I’ll remember this.” Murad said and went to school.
After a few moments, the time was almost off time of the school and the last bell rang. His friends asked her to play with them. He went with them, they played and had a lot of fun. Suddenly he noticed that he was getting late. He left his friends and picked up his bag and walked toward home.
A strange man stopped him and asked for the address of Delta School. He showed her the way to Delta but the man said, “I am new here, come with me, I will drop you off at home on the bike.”
He thought it was too late so it would be better to go with him so he went with him. Delta School was close so it did not take long for them to arrive but the man did not stop at Delta School even Murad told him to stop but he did not, at that moment he remembered his mother’s words. Suddenly he saw the police, screamed and informed the police that he was being kidnapped. The police caught him and rescued the boy. Then he realized and promised that he would continue to obey his mother.
The author is a student at DELTA, The Change Agent.
