LITTLE BROTHER
By Densy Tamayo
My little brothers name is Arthur. This afternoon, I pushed himinto
thepool. He fell in witha big splashand startedmaking glug glug
sounds. Just whenI thought he was about to drown, he managedto cry
out for help and momand dad came running.
Momwas crying becauseshe thought that Arthur was dead. He wasnt.
The doctor came and Arthur is doing very well now. He askedfor cake
with jamand, eventhoughtit was 8 oclockand past his bedtime, my
mother gave it to himanyway.
Arthur was very happy and very proud withall the attentionhe
was getting. Everybody was asking himquestions. Momasked
himhow he had fallen into the pool. Arthur just said he
slipped. It was Smart of himto say that. He knows mom hates a
tattle-tale.
The other day, whenI was wrapping a skipping rope around
his neck, he struggled out of my grip and ran to complain to
mom. He said I had been trying to strangle him. Mom told him
he shouldnt say suchthings and gave hima good spanking.
When dad came home and found out what Arthur said, he was
also very angry. Arthur didnt get any dessert. Then he
understood. This time, he knewbetter than to tell momI
pushedhiminto the pool.
I also asked momif I couldhave cake with jam. I asked her three
times, but she pretended not to hear me. Maybe she suspects that I
was theone who pushed Arthur.
Before, I was always nice and kind to Arthur, becausemomand dad
spoiled me as much as they spoiledhim. Whenhe got a new toy car,
I got a new doll. Momwould never have givenArthur cake without
giving it to me as well. But last month, momand dad completely
changed.
Now, they devote all their attentionto Arthur. He gets gifts all the time. It has made him
very big-headed. He was always a bit of a pain in the neck, but nowhe is insufferable. He is
constantly asking for this and that. Momand dadalways give him whatever he asks for.
The only time they scoldedhim was the day I triedto strangle him with the skipping rope.
That was funny because, for once, it wasnt his fault.
I wonder why momand dad suddenly stopped loving me. It looks like I am no longer their
little girl. Whenever I Kissmomon the cheek, she doesnt evensmile. Dadis the same way.
Whenthey go for a walk, I always tag along, but they dont pay any attentionto me. If Im
playing on the roador doing something dangerous, they dont evencare.
Arthur can be nice occasionally, but most of the time, he refuses to play withme. The other
day, I askedhim why momand dad had become so cold to me. He lookedup at me with
a sly smile and refusedto answer. He did it on purpose to enrage me. That was the day
I wrappedthe skipping rope aroundhis neck. I was so mad that, despite the spanking he
had received, I went intohis roomafterwards and told him that I would kill him.
This afternoon, he told me that mom, dad and him
were goingto the seaside and that they werent
bringing me withthem. Then, he laughed and stuck
out his tongue and made faces at me. So I pushed
himintothe pool.
Arthur is sleeping now and momand dad are
watching TV. The skipping rope was just lying in the
garden, so I pickedit up. In a moment, Ill sneak into
Arthurs bedroomand, this time, I wont give hima
chance to scream. That way, momand dad will be
forcedto go to the seaside without him. And after they
leave, Ill go down to the end of the gardenand climb
back into that horrible whitebox they buriedme in
