A golden tree

My golden tree.. sumthn i figured out being a child. I was d most curious n d naughtiest kid in ma family. People used to say dat i shud hav been a boy, no wonder dey said dat, I nvr showed ny traits of a girl.
Dis incident hapnd wen i was merely 5 yrs old. Me, my mother n ma sis simmu (jus 2-3 months old dat tym) were alone at home. Mummy was goin for bath n simmu was sleepin. I was given sumthn to eat n strictly instructed not to go out. I controlled ma self for sum tym bt evn i am a human being n dat too a kido dat tym.. Wot do u expect me to do?? I tuk a chair n opened mumm's cupboard. Dere i found her bag. I knew i wud get sumthn interesting in it. I opened it n found a packet of parle-G and a gold chain. Aaahhhh!!! dat made ma day. Wot els i need... I wore dat chain n roamed around in d house for sumtym. Den i heard ma frnz playing outside. I tuk a chair to d door, unlatchd d door and moved out. I was so proud of the chain shining on ma neck. For sumtym i played around n den ma mumm found out dat i was missing. she cald for me. I went home unaware of the fact ma bad tym was abt to start. She tuk me inside n scolded me for nt listening to her as usual.
Den she found her open cupboard n her purse on d floor. she luked at me n askd dat wot i did. Hmm dat was sumthn tuff, she searched her bag to c wot all was missing. Ofcourse she knew abt the chain. She asked me for it.. Ahaa!!! I m sure ma reply must hav given her a jerk n she was abt to faint. I told her dat i sowed it in d garden so dat it grows out into a big tree wid lot of gold chains. At first she cud not blive i did sumthn lik dat. Bt den poor mummy had no other option. She tuk me to our garden ( holding lot of plantation). She askd me to dig out the chain. Bt how cud I? I din't remmbr nythn abt it. I made small small pits at some distance on d ground. Evn she startd digging here n dere. some of our neighbours also joined in. For me it was gr8 fun playing wid soil. Bt dere ma mother was fuming. I told her not to panic, coz aftr sum days the tree will grow up n den we cn hav lot of gold chains. Dat day i had Diwali at ma place. Hmmm...
Evn aftr dis i was waiting for ma golden tree, i blived dat sumday i wud get to c it... Poor me..
Althou dat day nvr came bt stil I get to hear a lot wen sum evil spirits in ma family talk abt dis incident for fun bt only i know wot all hapnd dat day wid me.
