One day, Natasha came home from school with teary eyes.

‘‘What happened?’’ her mother asked.

‘‘I don’t know what do to!’’ Natasha cried. ‘‘Our teacher said that we must

all bring in a composition tomorrow morning. But I can’t write compositions.

In school, I tried to write on three different topics. See my copy but I can’t
do it.’’

Her mother took Natasha’s notebook. Natasha had tried to write on the

topics ‘‘Time’’, ‘‘Knowledge’’ and ‘‘Freedom’’. This is what she had written:

‘‘Time is short. We should all use our time better.’’
‘‘Knowledge is a very useful thing.’’

‘‘Freedom must be used wisely.’’

‘‘I can’t think of another word to say
about any of these topics,’’ ‘‘exclaimed’’

Natasha. ‘‘I shall have to go to school

without a composition.’’
‘‘Natasha?’’ her mother asked. ‘‘Did

the teacher ask you to write on these

topics?’’
‘‘No, Mummy. She just suggested them.

We can choose any topic we want. But

it’s so difficult to find a proper topic!’’

composition — a piece of writing; knowledge — to know about something by
facts; exclaimed — to say something suddenly and loudly
