Cricket

I would like to play cricket at an early age                             For playing it I needed a bat first                                                
I asked my father to buy a bat and ball.                                But he resolutely refused to buy them.                                       
                                                                                                         I took a wood and went to the carpenter                                He didn't know about my dreaming bat                                         He asked me to show the picture of a bat.                                I cut an image of a bat from a newspaper                          
                                                                                                         The wood worker took two days to make a bat                    As it was very heavy I couldn't swing the bat                     Now I required some players to play.                                         I approached my friends to play cricket                            
                                                                                                   Most of them accepted to play the game                             We selected our school ground for playing                       Daily we went to the ground and played cricket.                  My father didn't like me to play it                                          
                                                                                                       One day I came extremely late to my house                         My father was very angry and shouted at me.                   Then he took the wooden bat and broke it                            My life long dream was shattered to pieces.
