Akka's sweet story about the "vetti" thambi...

Its the 22nd of August 1983..A bright Monday Morning..a 5 year old girl and her 4 year old brother are sitting in an auto rikshaw, ready to be driven to their school. Dad gives each of them some cookies to eat in school. The brother gobbles up the cookies the next instant while the timid sister saves them to be eaten later. Once they reach the school, according to their parents' instructions, the 'big' sister diligently escorts this 'little' brother to his class. Per her parents, it is her responsibility to make sure that the litle one is comfortable in class before she leaves. After getting him seated, she asks 'Are you okay? Can I leave??". The brother nods his head in all directions indicating he is fine. She's already late to her class, so she walks quickly all the way to the end of the corridor, when she hears a loud voice "You should not go !! I am not alright..come back!!".Its her brother shouting at the top of his voice. She runs back and asks if everything is alright. He says "I am ok, but you should not go!!". Imagine this girl's plight..she does not have a mind to just let him be and leave. She's almost in the verge of tears. The brother just dosent seem to care. She immediately took out her share of cookies and handed it over to him, asking "Can I leave now?". This time his concentration is on the cookies so he nods more vigourously.....she dint think twice, without turning back, ran all the way to her class..she had to be out of sight before the cookies ran out...Now you know why she saved the cookies !! By now you'd have guessed who the'little brother' is.. and I'm the poor little sister!
