'Unni,can we go catch dragonflies?' the little Sumi asked her sister who was lying on the mattress on her stomach while reading a book. 'No,Sumi.We can't.Mom will scold us for going out alone.' her sister replied.'But,we are not alone!I have you!'

Sumi cried while kicking the mattress.Her sister panicked and tried to console her,'Ok,Ok!We'll go catch the dragon flies.' Sumi immediately stopped crying and had a huge smile on her face,'Ok,lets go....NOW!' she pulled her older sister out and played outside.They were living in the country side so there were flower lands and trees.After a few hours,they returned while holding hands and smiles.As they entered their house,they saw their mother tapping her feet with folded arms.Sumi and her older sister looked at each other and gulped.They bowed as a greeting awkwardly.
