My First Story

The very first story i narrated was a really funny incident that my granny can never forget. My grandparents have come to Hyderabad after a very long time. At that time there was water scarcity in Guntur(my dad's native). Even at our place we had water scarcity but only during the summer. At home we had a medium sized steel drum which hold around some 10 litres of water. My granny wanted one such drum and came and asked me. Naturally, i didn't know where it was bought, so i made a story. I told her that we got that drum in a lucky draw contest at a five star hotel when the hotel management held a lucky draw contest with the diners of the day(the drum had a label called 5 star). I thought my granny wouldn't believe it, but unluckily she did. She went to my mom and asked her to again dine in that restaurant so that they can participate in the lucky draw, and if lucky they would get another steel drum. My mom gave my granny a confused look. My granny repeated the whole story to my mom. My mom then told my granny that i was actually pulling her leg and that there was no lucky draw and that the drum was bought from a shop and not a five star hotel in a lucky draw. Till date my granny repeats the whole story to anyone who are willing to listen.
