Upbringing now and then.

Once upon a time a little girl was traveling by train with her parents to a far away land. She walked with her father towards the pantry car. There, behind the glass display lay a  golden yellow pack of mango juice. She grew excited and yanked at her father's shirt and screamed
"Daddy I want Frooti". But the father took her hand and walked away quietly. She turned and looked at the yellow thing beckoning her, but helplessly followed her father.

In a big city, there lived a girl. She went to play school and would get dropped by her dad. She said she wanted to go by CAR but her dad said it would be by bike. Everyday, on their way back, he would buy her a pack of snacks that she would happily much on. One day while returning from school she cried and wailed with all her might. Onlookers wondered whether she was hurt and no one could guess what was wrong. Turned out that her snack shop was closed and her father hadn't got her the daily snack. She only stopped crying when he managed to get one for her from some other shop nearby.

Upbringing now and then.
