Every day little Saley called many children together to play at his home．They often made a mess in the room．This made his mother very angry．

One morning before going to work，mother said to Saley,“Don’t play with the children at home，or I’ll give you a sound beating．”Saley didn’t think that mother would be back soon，so he asked his good friend，Joke，to come and play hide―and―seek with the door shut．

As they were having a wonderful time，mother came back and knocked at the door．“Open the door，Saley．”There was no time for Joke to leave．But Saley Was very clever． Immediately he took a bag，let Joke get in and tied it up with a string．Saley opened the door On entering the room，his mother saw the bag which was full．She pointed to it and asked seriously．“What is it，Saley?”“I am a rice，”answered Joke in the bag before Saley could say anything．
