Cry Baby

Swallow is a little girl. She is five years old. She is usually well behaved. But today she is disobedient.

And so, to punish her, her mother has sent her to her room until she is ready to apologize and behave.

For the past hour, we can hear Swallow crying. Sometimes it’s loud and sometimes one can barely hear it.

After a while, the crying stops.

“So, you are no longer pouting? You are done with your crying?” Asks her mother.

Quite flustered by these questions, Swallow relies in a rough voice, “NO, I am not done, I am just taking a break!”
