Ramim’s sad morning

Ramim is two and a half years old. Today, he woke up very early in the morning. He found his father sleeping like a log, and his mother trying to discard the alarm in her sleep.

Ramim shook his father's shoulder trying to wake him up. But his father did not respond. So he stood up and decided to pee on his face. 
 
Finally awoken, Ramim's father yelled at him and beat him up. Ramim did not understand what he did wrong. He stared at his father and screamed a thunder.

His mother woke up because of the noise and tapped on his bum, being very irritated. Ramim could not believe what was happening with him. He was in disbelief, crying, and thinking what his fault was! His parents left him alone and became busy with the day's work.

Moments later, while crying, he noticed a paper was about to come off from a file. He tried to grab the paper but failed. When he tried to pick it up, a glass of water slid off from the table - right on that paper.

His father came out of the washroom hearing the sound and saw the paper - in pieces - floating on the floor. He screamed again and blabbered something while beating Ramim.

Ramim remembered the paper torn on its own while he tried to pick it up.

Hearing Ramim's cry, his mother came, pampered him, and took him away from there. Then, she tried to feed him breakfast. Ramim noticed that his mother had served vegetables and egg. But he does not like them, rather he likes Horlicks.
 
So when his mother left the room, he entered the kitchen to find his Horlicks on the top cupboard. He stood on a shelf and tried to reach the Horlicks jar with all his effort.

Suddenly, a pot of flour dropped on him. Ramim screamed, and his mother came running. Seeing him in this situation, Ramim's mother pulled his ear and yelled at him.
 
Ramim started crying again. He uttered, "Horlicks! Horlicks!" And his mother beat him some more. Poor Ramim ended up having his breakfast with those boring vegetables and egg.
