At day break nobody called out to the children to get out of their beds as was usual. All the
children in town wondered where their parents had disappeared to. They all went to school as
usual but all the schools were closed. All the shops were closed and no traffic could be seen
on the roads. Then they discovered that even the electricity, gas and telephones were
disconnected. They cried and searched for their parents everywhere. At last they assembled
at the Town Hall. There they found a note on the main gate of the Town Hall. A boy read the
note aloud. It said ‘Unfortunate children, you will be pleased to know that we have left the
town because we were fed up with your behaviour. Now nobody will compel you to get up
early, take a bath, go to school or stop you from misbehaving. We have accepted defeat. Eat
what you like and be merry. From now on it is your responsibility to pay the bills and cook your
food. Don’t waste your time looking for us because we cannot be traced. We want you to
realise that parents do quite a lot for you other than simply admonishing you. Please accept
our love.’ After the reading of this note all the children burst into tears.
