No smiles today
Author: Cheryl Rao
Shanti and Arun were good friends.
They had so much fun together. They shared secrets in class.
They ran races on the way home.
She was always cheerful.
One day,
Shanti came into the classroom slowly.
Her head was bent.
She looked sad.
“Did someone scold you?”
asked Arun.
Shanti shook her head.
Shanti shook her head.
She sat down
and did not look up.
She did not answer ‘Present!’
when Sona Miss
called her name.
Sona Miss called again, louder this time, “Shanti Kumar!”
Shanti raised her hand.
“Do you have a sore throat?”
her teacher asked her.
Shanti shook her head.
Her cheeks were red
and it looked like
she had a fever.
“Are you feeling okay?” Sona Miss asked.
Shanti nodded,
still not daring to look up.
“Why does Shanti look so sad?”
“Is your little brother okay?”
“Is your puppy okay?”
“Is your grandmother okay?”
Shanti kept nodding her head to each of her friends.
But she did not look up.
Arun wanted to make her smile.
He had an idea!
He took out something from his bag.
As he ran to show it to Shanti,
it slipped out of his hands.
Shanti saw
something flying towards her
and she grabbed it.
It was a BIG, green, rubber frog!
Shanti's eyes flew open.
Then she opened her mouth to laugh.
THEN Arun and her friends saw
why she had not smiled
or talked all day!
Four of her front teeth
had gone missing!
