I was playing in the street, but my mother called me and rebuked me. saying that my grandpa was dead and I was still gallivanting about in the street. She ordered me to change my dress before uncle Ben and aunt Elizabeth came. Before their arrival, my father and mother shifted the bureau of my grandpa from his room. My mother even removed his clock from his room. I was very much bewildered and upset at the behaviour of my parents. They were quarrelling over the inheritance. I love my grandpa very much. I did not like the behaviour of my parents. I said to my father, 'Are we pinching it before aunt Elizabeth comes?' My father replied and said that grandpa save it to my mother. but this was not true. My mother and aunt Elizabeth were not on good terms. My mother ordered me to go in the room of grandpa to stressing table. When I went there, I was terrified as  saw that my grandpa was getting up. I came back and told my mother about it. But really speaking my grandpa was not dead, he was alive. I am very much happy that grandpa is alive.
