| "Aha!" Tony turned with a jump. He stared for a moment, then relaxed and grinned. "It's only you," he said to his nine-year-old sister Neena. "Yes, brother dear, it's only me wanting to know what you're doing sneaking into Mom's study and poking around in her handbag." "I wasn't stealing, honest. Miss Chandran taught us in class today that stealing is wrong, and I wouldn't do that." "They do teach baby stuff in Kindergarten," scoffed the big Fourth-Grader. "Okay, if you weren't stealing, what were you doing?" "I was trying to get back what's mine." "What's yours?" "My letter to Santa Claus. I want to take it to the post office myself and mail it. Miss Chandran is going to take us on a field trip to the post office. I can carry my letter along then." "But Mom or Dad will post it, like they do every year." "I don't trust them." Tony began to look sulky as he said this.  "You don't trust Mom and Dad?"  "I trust them in everything else, but I don't think they've mailed my letter to Santa ever." "Tony!" "They haven't. Last year I asked for a hippopotamus, and the year before I asked for a baby dinosaur - and all I got was a sled last year and roller skates before that ..." "Maybe they were all out of hippos and baby dinos in the North Pole," she reasoned. "No. I think my letters didn't get mailed. So I want to mail it myself this time." "What've you asked for? Whisper it in my ear, I won't tell." "Promise? Well - I've asked for a giraffe." "Okay, let me get that letter out for you. Now - add the word 'toy' before 'giraffe' and you'll get it this time for sure!" 299 WORDS |
