After some time when all of the visitors left the residence, anayah’s mother came to her and coaxed her to forestall crying and instructed her to test the items. She become watching for that second. She unwrapped the present which changed into largest in length first. It changed into a laptop from her father. She exclaimed in joy on seeing it.

One by one she unwrapped all packages but one, which had no name plate on it. She opened it and found a diary in it. She said to herself what a rubbish gift it is. How may want to each person present me such a filthy diary? Whoever proficient it didn’t placed own name intentionally, ought to have shamed for this. She threw it on her table and commenced gambling with the toys she had got. After playing 1/2 an hour she went to her mattress for drowsing.
