The four-year old brother was definitely disappointed with her remark.

“But I just started.” He protested.

“You are big.” The little one went defensive.

“Hmm. Still – this is so dusty and hazy.” She was already in a faultfinding mood. “No shape, nothing…”

“You have to wait.” The tiny ego was now on recovery.

“Wait? For what? ” She put her hands on her hips. “My project is finished already.”

“I just started this yesterday, Sis. And the guide says it takes seven days for the Creation to be complete.”
