THE DISCIPLINARY ACT
Sandra ran out of the house greeting Edward's parents with a very naive attitude. When she was gone, Edward's parents remembering telling him not to allow anyone into the house in their absence started descending their wrath on the poor boy.
Dad: Who gave you the authority to disobey my orders?
Mom: How dare you let her in? Don't you know that many eyes are on you? Gosh!! I'm so disappointed in you.
Edward: Dad, Mom I'm sorry it will never happen again.
Dad: Go get me your cane.
Edward on hearing 'go get me your cane', started sobbing because he knew what accompanies that statement. Dragging his feet, he went to his dad's room to pick up the cane at the corner of the room where the dressing mirror was. So slowly and gently he returned to the sitting room with the cane. His dad did not wait for him to to reach him, but rather jumped on him like a tiger taking a leap targeting its prey, snatched the cane from him and gave him some lashes on his back. This was not good for a boy who will soon turn 18, a age where every citizen is allowed to exercise their Human Rights.
Edward: (crying and rolling on the floor).
Dad: Get up and return this cane.
Edward returns the cane. √√√√
Mom: Edward you are not eating today.
Edward: (Smiled with satisfaction he got from the food Sandra brought him, but this smile was not noticeable ).
