Sobbing Pappu
Six-year-old Pappu came downstairs crying loudly.
"What's the matter?" asked his mother.
"Papa was hanging pictures, and he just hit his thumb with a hammer," said Pappu.
"That's not so serious," soothed his mother. A big man like you shouldn't cry at a trifle like that. Why didn't you just laugh?"
"I did," sobbed Pappu.
