What is the theme for the short story The Parsley's Garden?
My mom never told me about Kabuliwala but after I read it myself later in life, I have told the story to my children. But most of the stories my mom told me were really short and always had a morale. One such story is one about these birds which had huge holes on their heads. They would get water to drink only when it rains cos then the hole would get filled up and they quench their thirst. This story would come up when we would fight for the water at the dining table or when we refuse to fetch water for someone to drink!!! Mom said if you don't give someone water to drink you become one of those birds!!!! Mom was too good with her stories. All these have instilled many values in me. Apart from these, all those Aesop's tales and fairy tales have definitely remained etched in my mind after all these years.
