Micro Short Story 1

Father gave three year Bony a toy. It was a battery driven horse that galloped when turned on.

At night, when father returned home from office, he saw one of the horse’s hind leg broken. He became furious and called out the boy.

Father asked, “ why have you broken the toy ?”

“I had to. The horse was running too fast for me to catch of course. Once I caught it, I knew how to slow it down”, replied Bony triumphantly. “ See …”

Bony switched on the button, and boastfully paraded his crippled horse, which somehow managed to hobble on to Bony’s delight.
