Poor Jarya - Teaching Made Practical
Poor Jarya
Jarya was exhausted. Her arms hurt from carrying her baby sister around
all day. Her feet hurt from chasing her younger brother Leon, who kept
trying to sneak out of the house. All she wanted to do was lay down and go
to sleep, but she knew she needed to cook dinner for her brother and
sister, so she got to work.
Jarya¡¯s mom had asked Jarya and her twin sister Ulie to watch their
younger siblings while she went to work. They had both agreed to help, but
then Ulie had run off to her friend¡¯s house as soon as their mom was out of
sight. Jarya was left to do all of the work herself. She was so angry at Ulie
that she could hardly stand it. Jarya kept trying to think of some way to get
back at her, like putting a spider in her bed, but she couldn¡¯t think of
anything good. Ulie was the one with a good imagination.
As Jarya was putting her younger brother and sister into bed, Ulie came
running into the house. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Jarya!¡± Ulie exclaimed. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t
have left you all alone. I made you something to say I¡¯m sorry.¡± Ulie held
out a small box.
Jarya gasped. It was a beautifully decorated jewelry box that matched the
colors in her room exactly. How had Ulie known that she had been looking
for something to put all her jewelry in? It was just like Ulie to think of
something like that.
¡°Thank you,¡± Jarya said. ¡°It¡¯s stunning. I could never have made anything
like this for myself.¡±
At that moment, their mom walked in. Jarya was torn. Should she tell her
mom that Ulie had left her to do all the work herself? She was still a little
upset that Ulie had left her, but she really loved the beautiful jewelry box.
Ulie made the decision for her.
¡°Mom, I think you should know that Jarya took care of everything herself. I
left her all alone and went to Kayla¡¯s house instead of helping her,¡± Ulie
admitted.
Their mom walked Ulie to the kitchen to talk to her privately, and Jarya
grabbed her new jewelry box and headed to her room to look for a special
spot to keep it.
