A Scare

It was a fine day of February. It was still cold and sitting in the sunlight in the lawn with flowers peeping all about was a pleasure. To enjoy the beauty of the weather, I picked up an interesting book and took my seat on a chair in the garden.
It was an interesting story. The lover was running after the beloved. Suddenly she tumbled on a stone and fell down.
‘PlopV there was a sound. I suddenly became alert to my surroundings. It was not my heroine but a big bag that had fallen on the lawn just a little distance from me.
I had heard so much about the people throwing bombs that I got up from my chair in panic. “Father ! Mother !” I cried.
They came running and with them came my little sister too.
We looked at the thing more closely. ‘Who knows it may be a bomb’, we said almost in unison. Neighbours had joined in and some dialled No. 100. Soon the police was there with its trained bomb squad.
A policeman carefully turned the bag with his stick. Lo! someone had thrown a bag full of rubbish (old used clothes) in our garden.
