ANGRY APPAPPAN

In a cosy little house on Maple Lane, lived Tian and Juan, a mischievous twain. With Appappan, their grandpa, a grump with a smile, full of love and warmth, going that extra mile.

One day, in the living room, oh, what a scene, Appappan searched for the T.V remote. Behind the cushions, under the chair, with a furrowed brow, he combed his white hair.

"Where's that remote?" he mumbled and grumbled, the twins, Tian and Juan, their spirits soon humbled. They pointed and blamed, "He took it, not me!" Appappan's frown deepened, "Find it, you'll see."

They searched and they searched, under cushions and through, with a squeal from Tian and a giggle from Juan too. The remote was found, peace restored in the air, but Appappan scolded, "Beware, beware!"
