FICTION : I want to become a TV

I WANT TO BE A TV



A Primary School teacher asks her pupils to write an essay on ”What wish do you want from God?"

At the end of the day, the teacher collects all the essays given by her pupils. She takes them to her house, sits and starts marking them.

While marking the essays, the teacher sees a strange essay written by one of her pupils. That essay made her very emotional. Her husband comes and sits beside her and
saw her crying. The husband asked his wife, "What happened?" She answered "Read this. It is one of my pupil's essays."


"Oh God, convert me to a
Television. I want to live
like the TV in my house. In my
house, the TV is
very valuable. All of my family
members sit around
it. They are very interested in it.
When the TV is
talking, my parents listen to it
very happily.
They don’t shout at the TV. They
don’t quarrel
with the TV. They don’t slap at
the TV. So I want
to become a TV.
The TV is the centre of attraction
in my house. I
want to receive the same special
care that the TV
receives from my parents. Even
when it is not
working, the TV has a lot of
value.
When my dad and mom come
home, immediately
they sit in front of the TV, switch
on it and spend
hours. The TV is stealing the time
of my dad and
my mom. If I become a TV, then
they will spend
their time
with me.
While watching the TV, my
parents laugh a lot and
they smile many times. But I want
my parents to
laugh and smile with me also. So
please make me
into a TV.
And last but not least, if I become
a TV, surely I
can make my parents happy and
entertain them.
Lord I don't ask you anything. I
just want to live
like a TV. Please make me into a
TV.

The husband finished reading the essay, and said


"My God, poor kid. He feels lonely.
He is not
receiving enough love and care
from his parents.
His parents are horrible."

The eyes of the primary School teacher filled with tears. She looked at her husband and said, "Our son wrote this essay.
