Patience Pays in Princely Ways

by Mohan M Prasad
(India)

Conversation between the twins safely tucked in their mother's womb...

"This is a hell of a long wait, I think I am ready to move out and I just want to go..."

"Wait, have patience. Mother and her advisors know best... when will be the right time"

"It's just taking too long"

"Maybe things are not ready just yet"

"Fine, you wait... but I'm leaving now"

Epilogue: Miss Hurry missed the bus, while Master Patience was born a fully bloomed bundle of joy. The difference between them was just a few weeks!
