A Reward for a patient wife

            It was night. The sky just like an angry lion was roaring successively, and from time to time horrible lightning made everywhere light up. The family including me, my wife and the five children were sitting around the table cloth spread for dinner. I had a glance at the five pale faces lacking any smile on their lips, the waves of a mysterious amazement were reflecting from them. I wonder why I felt their look was filled with hostility, fear, uncertainty, and abjectness. Maybe they were waiting for a storm which had previously happened on many occasions. There was another lightning flash followed by a frightening thunder clap that vibrated all the glass panels. My little daughter screamed and threw herself into her mother’s arms.
