Riya and Miya were twins. They both cared about each other but they wouldn’t show it. One day, Riya wanted to order some crayons from Amazon. Miya said she also wants crayons. So, Riya ordered crayons for both of them, using their mother’s phone to make payment.
After a few days, the delivery guy came to their house with the package and rang the doorbell. The twins were in their rooms upstairs. Hearing the bell, they both ran down the stairs to get the package. But it was too late — their mom had already opened the door and taken the package.
She asked them what’s in the packet and how did they pay for it. The twins looked at each other’s face and said they had ordered crayons and paid with their own money. The mother looked up curiously and said: “But the delivery guy didn’t ask for any cash!”
The twins then said: “We ordered the crayons from your phone and made payment also from your phone.” Hearing this, their mom was so angry and said: “How is this your money? It’s my money.”
The daughters said that they will pay it back soon. After a few days, the twins eventually paid their mom back. One day, when Miya was colouring with her crayons and she noticed that some of her crayons were broken and she couldn’t colour with them so, she asked Riya to give her some of her crayons but Riya said, “no, you will break them.” Miya was sad hearing this but didn’t argue about it. Then after a few days Riya’s crayons were missing. She looked everywhere but couldn’t find them and she suspected that Miya was the one who took the crayons.
Riya quickly went to Miya and asked, “WHERE DID YOU PUT MY CRAYONS!?”
Miya, confused, said that she didn’t take her crayons. But Riya didn’t believe her, and they didn’t talk to each other for hours. Later, when Riya was looking for a book in her bag she found her crayons. She realised that Miya didn’t take her crayons and that it was in her bag the whole time. She felt sorry for Miya and went to apologise to her. Miya forgave her. At night, when they both were getting ready to sleep, Miya whispered to Riya that she actually took Riya’s crayons and she just put it in her bag without her noticing. Riya was shocked hearing this and in the end, they both laughed and slept.
