                                          "What's the time Radhika?" asked Ajay.

                                          "It's about 8:30am"

                                          "Why is Arjun showing so much love for the bathroom? I've been standing here for last 50 minutes and yet have received no response from your son."

                                          Meanwhile Arjun was sleeping in the bathroom.

                                          "Don't shout he will come out. By the way if I remember we have two bathrooms." said Radhika

                                          "My bathing stone is inside with your child. Get me my bathing stone and I will quietly go. Then I will have no problem if your child stays there for his whole lifetime."

                                          Radhika grew angry and yelled.

                                          "Arjun what are you doing inside. Open the door. Your father want his bathing stone, he's getting late."           

                                      There was silent for a minute and then Radhika and Ajay yelled together strong enough to let the whole colony hear that Arjun was in great trouble.

                                          Arjun on the other hand was busy sleeping. But he also got up on hearing his name. He stood, washed his hand, face and came out hurriedly. He saw his parents face; red with anger. He ran towards his room.

                                          But Ajay was in no mood of sparing him today. So he called him.

                                          "What were you doing inside the bathroom that took you 1 hour?"

                                          Arjun didn't answered.

                                          "Were you sleeping? Answer yes or no."

                                          "Yes"

                                           "Haven't we put a bed in your room or you feel better in there. We can replace and rearrange your room if you want"

                                          After that as expected Arjun got a long scolding and went to his room.

                                          It was after an hour that Arjun left his room and went downstairs to eat his breakfast. After eating his breakfast he decided to visit the city library to issue some books.

                                          "Mummy I am going to the city library."

                                          "Okay. Ride safely."

                                          The library was not very old. It contained all types of books. Arjun liked to go there. He was a regular visitor of the library.
