Minis Little World

It was raining outside. Mummy went to bed with a magazine in her hand, after lunch. It was always her habit that she must have something to read. Otherwise she couldn’t fall asleep.

"Mini, what're you doing there? Come and sleep in this bed," called her mother.

"No, mummy I will sleep here," replied Mini from the other room.

"If you don't sleep now I wouldn’t send you to play. Remember that." Sandhya warned her.

"I'm sleeping, mummy". Mini took Timmy with her and lay down in the bed. Timmy was her pussy cat and was very happy in her company. She knew that if Mini slept with her mother she wouldn't allow her to keep Timmy with her. In this shivering cold, sleeping with Mini in her cozy bed was very nice. Mini spoke to her friend for some time and then covered the bed spread over them. Within a few minutes, she was fast asleep.

She was going with Timmy to some unknown place. On the way she met an old lady who was trying to cross the road. But looking at the heavy traffic she got frightened and could not cross the road to the other side. On seeing Mini, she turned and asked her. "What is your name, child?""My name is Mini," replied Mini holding Timmy tight.

"Mini mole, will you please help me to get to the other side of the road? I have been waiting here for a long time. I asked many people to help, but none was willing to help me. I’m unable to cross this busy road. I would greatly appreciate your help." The old lady asked her.

Mini immediately agreed. She held the old lady's frail hand tight and got her to the other side. The old lady was very happy.

"Thank you very much, Mini. If it was not for you even now I wouldn’t have reached here. You’re a sweet little girl. I want to give you a gift," said the old lady. Mini was surprised. “What is she going to give me?” she thought.

As she was looking at her in surprise the old lady slowly removed her bag and gave her a small plastic container. "If you want something special you just take this out and hold it close to your chest thinking of me. Whatever you ask for, you will get it instantly. But remember, you have only three wishes," saying this, the old lady disappeared.

Mini was thrilled. She walked fast to reach home soon. All along the way she was thinking about what she should ask. She went home and sat in her usual seat, a blue small plastic chair.Suddenly, an idea struck her. She liked ice cream very much. Occasionally daddy got her ice cream. Yesterday she had seen a new ice cream advertisement on the TV. From that moment she wished to taste it. She had even decided that she would tell her daddy to get her that kind of ice cream next time. “Now I need not wait till then”, she thought with a smile.

Holding the plastic container near her chest she closed her eyes and thought of the old lady and asked for that ice cream. Alas!!! After two minutes, when she opened her eyes she was shocked to see the whole house was flooded with the new ice cream which she had wished for.

She was so delighted that she called all her neighbours and gave them the ice cream. All of them ate well. Still the house was overflowing with ice cream......
