THE GUMBLER
Juanito is a born gumbler. He always grumbles whenever he asked to do something.
He grumbles when he is called to eat especially when he's playing. He grumbles when he is told to
change his clothes, to take a bath or even to brush his teeth. He grumbles at everything he does.
One night, his mother told him to study his lessons. He was so sleepy that he begun
to grumble. As he started to write, his ball pen refused to move. When he used his pencil, the lead
broke. He tried to open his book but it remained closed. He was so angry that he slammed the door.
Then he came to his senses.
