အကုိနဲ႕ ညီမေလးတို႕ မိဘေတြမသိေအာင္ စက္ဘီးခိုး၀ယ္ တဲ့ ေန႕အေၾကာင္း။ ညီမေလးစက္ဘီးပုိင္တဲ႔ေန႔

ပုိက္ဆံစုျပီးရင္ ကြန္ပ်ဴတာဝယ္ဆုိတဲ႔ရည္ရြယ္ခ်က္နဲ႔ လြန္ခဲ႔တဲ႔ ၈လ ေလာက္က သူ႔ကိုစုဘူးတစ္ခုေပးတယ္။ သူရတဲ႔မုန္႔ဖုိးၾကီးၾကီးမားမား ဆိုလုိ႕ ၅၀၀၊ ၁၀၀၀ ပါပဲ။ သူတာဝန္ေက်စြာစုခဲ႔တယ္။ တစ္ေန႔မုန္႔ဖိုး ၃၀၀ရတဲ႔ ေျခာက္ တန္းေက်ာင္းသူအတြက္ computerပိုင္ဖု႔ိဆိုတာ အရမ္းေဝးေနတယ္။ သ႔ူအ တြက္လဲ ကုိယ္ပိုင္ကြန္ပ်ဴတာဆိုတာ တကယ္မလုိအပ္ေသးပါ။ ပန္းတုိင္ကအ ရမ္းလည္း ေဝးလြန္းေနေတာ့ ပင္ပန္းသြားမွာဆိုးတယ္။

ဒီေန႔ေမာင္ႏွမႏွစ္ေယာက္တည္းအိမ္မွာရွိတုန္း အေမတ႔ိုမသိေအာင္ စုဘူးေဖာက္ပစ္လိုက္တယ္။ ျပီးေတာ့ ညီမေလးကို “စက္ဘီးဝယ္မလားလုိ႕” ေမးေတာ့ သူက “ေပးမွမစီးၾကတာဆိုတာတဲ့”။ ဒီအခ်ိန္မွာ ငယ္ဘဝပံုရိပ္ေတြမ တည္ေဆာက္ခဲ႔ရင္ ၾကီးလာတဲ့အခါ ဘဝကအးစက္စက္နဲ႔ျဖစ္မွာ ကၽြန္ေတာ္စုိးရိမ္ သြားတယ္။

ဒါနဲ႔ပဲပိုက္ဆံေရၾကေတာ့ သုံးေသာင္း႐ွစ္ေထာင္။ တည္လက္စထမင္း အုိးကိုပစ္ မိန္းခလုတ္ခ်ျပီး စက္ဘီးေရာင္းတဲ့ဆုိင္ဆီ ခ်က္ခ်င္းေျပးၾကတယ္။ စက္ဘီးေတြကသိပ္တန္တယ္။ သုံးေသာင္း၊ ငါးသာင္း၊ ေျခာက္ေသာင္း ဆုိ ေကာင္းေကာင္းရျပီ။ က်ေနာ္လဲသ႔ူကို coolျဖစ္မယ္ထင္တဲ႔စက္ဘီးတစ္စီးကိုျပ ေတာ့ သူၾကိဳက္တဲ႔ ေဆးအျဖဴေရာင္စက္ဘီးနဲ႕ ဘယ္ဟာယူရမလဲ လြန္ဆြဲျပီး

ေနာက္ဆံုး အထာက်က်ဘီးေလးတစ္စီးသူပိုင္သြားတယ္။

အျပန္ၾကေတာ့ တြန္းသြားရမယ္ထင္ေနတဲ႔သူ႕ကုိ ကိုယ္ပုိင္စက္ဘီးစ နင္းခိုင္းေတာ့ တစ္လမ္းလံုးမိုက္တယိၾကီးပဲေအာ္ျပီးျပန္လာခဲ႔ၾကတယ္။ ေရာက္ ေရာက္ခ်င္းေရေဆးေပါလစ္တင္လိုက္တယ္။ ကေလးဘဝရဲ႕ပံုရိပ္တစ္ခုေတာ့ သူၾကီးရင္ျပန္ေတြးႏုိင္မွာပါေလ။

(အကုိျဖစ္သူ၏ ေျပာျပခ်က္ကို ျပန္လည္တင္ျပသည္။)

In order to buy a computer after collecting pocket money, I gave her a box to collect money eight months ago. The large amount that she got as pocket money is just around 500 kyats or 1000 kyats. However, she collected willingly and properly. It would be a long journey to possess a computer for a 7^th Grade student who got 300 kyats as pocket money. Actually, the computer is also not necessary for her at the moment to have one. I worried her to feel tiring during trial as the destination is too far.

On the day when we were alone at the house, we broke the box and took out money. And when I asked her, “Do you want to buy a bike?”, “we are not allowed to bike,” she replied. At that time, I worried that if she did not try to build memories in her childhood, her life would be not lively when she became older.

It was 38,000 kyats when we counted. We run to a bike shop after switching off the rice cooker in its progress. The prices of bikes were so reasonable. A cool bike could be bought if you have 30,000, 50,000 or 60,000. I showed her a cool bike in my perspective. After having confusion which one to choose, the white color one that she liked or other, finally she got a cool bike.

On the way to home, I asked her to start biking as she was thinking just to bring the bike, we went back shouting it was so cool on our way home. As soon as we got back home, the bike was polished. Might she think about a beautiful image of her childhood when she got older!
