TITO AND
CINDY
TITO and Cindy were twins. Tito
was a boy and Cindy was a girl and they had different characters. Tito was
lazy, he got angry easily. He always said bad words when he was angry. However,
Cindy was a very kind, diligent, patient and always helped their parents. She
always reminded her brother to behave well.
one day, when Cindy was cooking
in the kitchen, Tito said “Cindy! Where are you? I'm hungry! Give me some
food!” said Tito.
“Be patient Tito, I'm still
cooking, the food is not ready yet. Why don't you help me mop the floor? Father
and mother will be home soon,” replied Cindy.
“Arrrgggh! What took you so long?
I’m hungry, you are so slow!” said Tito. And he said bad words to Cindy.
Cindy was very sad. She cried.
When their parents went home, Cindy told them about TitoĆ bad behavior. Her
father then advised him. However, Tito did not want to listen him. He ignored
him, and it was getting worse. Tito asked his parents and his sister to leave
the house. his family were very sad. They never thought that Tito would ask
them to leave the house.
After his parents and his sister
left he house, Tito lived alone. At first he felt very happy because no one
disturbed him. He could do anything he wanted. He even spent his parents’ money
for bad things. When all the money was gone, he sold his parents animals, cows,
goats, cocks and hens.
Meanwhile, Cindy and her parents
lived in another place. When they left home, they did not bring anything.
Because they worked very hard, they could build a new home and they had new
animals. They were rich.
How about Tito? Soon all his
parents’ wealth was gone. Tito was lazy, he did not want to work. He wanted to
have much money in an easy way. So he sold the last wealth, it was the house.
After Tito sold the house, again,
he spent the money foolishly. It was not surprising that Tito became poor
again. He did not have any money and he did not have a house. His body was very
thin. He suffered skin disease, his skin was full of black dots.
Tito did not have a way to go, he
just walked and walked. Finally, he arrived at his parents’ house
Cindy was in front of the house
sweeping the floor. At first, they did not recognize each other. Cindy thought
that Tito was a beggar.
“Are you hungry? Here, I have
some food,” said Cindy.
Tito was happy. He was so hungry
that he did not recognize his sister. However Cindy knew him.
“Tito? Is that you brother?
Father, mother, Tito is here!!” screamed Cindy.
“Tito my son, what happened to
you?” said his mother. Tito was surprised.
“Mother, is that really you?
Father, mother, and Cindy! Please forgive me. I was punished by God. I suffer
an illness, I’m poor, and I don’t have a house to live. I have done bad things
to you all. I promise I will be good,” promised Tito.
The family now reunited. They
have already forgiven Tito and amazingly Tito was cured. And as he promised, Tito
became a very good man. ***
