The Slap from the Father

Another story from the Mistress's Child series. The entire household was abuzz with the news – the Businessman had proclaimed that he welcomed feedback on the running of the business from the entire household. This was what the Mistress’s Child had been waiting all along. She had seen so many problems with the household as she grew up, and had learnt so much during her years of helping to run the family business. She set about drafting down the many ideas she had, to show to her father. Her Butler had seen her write out the words painstakingly upon the parchment, and was worried. “Little Mistress, don’t you think you should get your elder brother to say something? I did not hear anything from the other household of him saying anything to your father.” “Oh Alfred, Alfred, you are just so full of worries! I know my father has never asked for any ideas from us in his whole life as a businessman, but we can trust him. Don’t worry!” She smiled at her Butler. She looked very pretty when...

The Lion, the Leopard and the Wolves

Once, there was a lion who gave the job of watching over 10 wolves to a leopard.   Leopard started his day distributing the meat rations into 11 portion. The wolves were unhappy at the size of the portion and attacked him. A single leopard could not fight against 10 wolves and he had no choice but to surrender his portion of meat and tendered his resignation to Lion.   Lion stopped Leopard, and told him to observe his management techniques.   The next day, Lion divided the meat into 11 portions of different sizes.

The Numbers Must Match

Another story from the Mistress’s Child series. The entire household at the rented house was caught unprepared by the arrival of an unexpected visitor – the Brother. Alfred, the oldest, most dignified, and calmest person amidst the household, was the one who welcomed him, quickly giving instructions to get Little Mistress over. The Mistress was still sick in bed, and it would not be good for her to have her sickness aggravated by a meeting with Young Master. The Mistress’s Child rushed over from the factory, where she had been supervising the workers. What business has her elder brother in her house, she wondered. He had vowed never to recognise the legitimacy of the place, as part of the family, and refused to even acknowledge the presence of the place within the family. Why was he there? “Let’s make it quick. I’m a busy man, and my father has a meeting with me later.” She could feel the edge as he placed extra stress on the phrase “my father”. “Due to the economic conditions, we hav...
