School was not very far away from her home , it was at walking distance. The little girl's mother was walking, holding her daughter in her arms. The girl was continuously crying and telling her mother, '' Mommy I don't want to go to school.I just want to stay with you.''

"But my dear , you will have a lot of fun there, you know, there are toys and swings in the school.", said the mother.

Girl did not stop crying, ''No I don't want to play with toys I want to be with you."
 

Mother again tried  to calm down the child, ''You know baby, there are many children like you , you can play with them."

Girl started crying more, "No, mommy no I don't want to go there I have to stay with you."

They reached the school, the little girl did not want to leave her mother at any cost ,she was crying and only crying. Somehow the class teacher succeeded in making the little girl calm and convinced her to go to the class.

Mother returned home with a very heavy heart.Though she was busy with her household chores but her heart wasn't in them, it was with her daughter. She was watching the clock again and again and she could not wait to get her daughter back after the school.
At last the time came when her daughter's school was over.
The restless mother reached the school and picked her little daughter. The girl hugged her mother tightly. On the way to home the little girl said to her mom.....
''Mommy I will not go to the school again''. 
"Why baby, wasn't the school good ?", Mother asked .
"It was good , but I don't want to go there again."
"Were the children in your class bad ?", Mommy asked .
''No they were also good, but I will not go to school!", replied the little child.
She held her mom's face in her small hands and said with teary eyes "I don't want to go any where!",  I just want to stay with you!"

The loneliness and the pain of losing the loved ones made him a rude person. His house was park facing, that very big park was the only park in that colony where children of that small township came everyday to play, chat and relax after finishing their homework. The reason of calling the old man, "Uncle Rude!" was that he always forbade the children from playing in the park. Poor children! They had no other place to play, where would they go? All work and no play is not good for children.      

 The children complained about him to their parents. The parents tried many times to convince the old man but he wouldn't listen! He was a very nasty person. As he was too old so the parents did not want to make an issue. They told the children that they should try to play quietly in the park. For some days the kids tried to play without making any noise but how could they? It is but natural that when children are together there would be some noise.

He sat down and started crying like a child. Though he always behaved badly with the children, they went near him to see him. They felt pity for him and wanted to help him. One of them said, " Please don't cry uncle my mother is a doctor, I am going to call her here". The other kids helped him to stand and made him sit on a bench. Meanwhile that kid returned with his mother, who brought a medical box with her. She treated him, the parents of other children also came there because one of the kids informed them about the whole incident. They took the old man into his house.
The old man was overwhelmed by this kind gesture of the small kids and their parents. He became very emotional and began to feel extremely sorry for his bad behavior towards the lovely, helpful kids.He decided that he would live with the kids and the people of that place nicely and would never misbehave with them again.
