The lost earrings

Anjali was very excited as today, it was  Picnic Day at her school. She woke up a little early from her routine time and got ready. She packed all the listed items she had thought of, in her small pink bag.
 Sneaking from her mother's eyes, she wore the expensive earrings that her mother gave on her 10th birthday. She was eager to show them to her friends. Her mother called her for breakfast but she rushed towards the bus stand pretending to get late for her picnic. She saw few of her friends at the stand.
 Smiling and feeling proud of her earrings she walked towards the stand and started chit chatting with them. Her friend, Nandita noticed the earrings. She said "wow Anjali, they are so beautiful, must be expensive?". Anjali lifted her head up and in a very deliberate tone answered "Yes, these are very expensive, my mother gifted me on my birthday." All other friends gathered around her and admired her earrings. The bus came and all the friends went to school.
 At school, Anjali's beautiful earrings were the morning topic among her friends. The teacher asked all students to gather and go to respective buses for the picnic trip. All students headed for their respective buses and their picnic trip started.
The picnic location was a beautiful garden "Millennium park" . As the bus reached the destination, all the students yelled with joy and rush out of the bus towards the garden. They all settled at suitable places and begin to play games in groups. After lunch break, as all of them started to play again,  Reena asked Anjali "where is one of your earring ?". To her utter surprise Anjali found one earring missing. She was shocked and  confused. She started looking for it and her friends  helped her too. But the effort become useless as the earring was not found. Anjali started to cry as  she knew that her mother will punish her for this loss badly.
The teacher was reported about the missing earring. She called Anjali and scolded her for this mistake. Anjali's picnic was spoiled  because of her own carelessness. She regret the loss of her earrings and was afraid of the reaction of her mother over this issue.
The picnic wind up on its scheduled time and all the students boarded the buses. All were very happy and excited , they yelled and sang songs while returning back ,but only Anjali was quite and sad . She was getting scared more as the distance to her house was becoming less. 
The bus stopped at the stand . Anjali, with her other friends got down and started moving towards her house. She rang the bell and her mother opened the door. As she entered, she hold her mother and cried very badly. Confused and anxious, her mother questioned  about this behavior. Anjali was sobbing. She said " Mother I had lost my gold earring , I had worn them in morning to show them to my friends , I am really sorry". Her mother was shocked and angry to hear this. She scolded her " How could you do such a thing Anjali, Such careless attitude. You did not even ask me? ". Hearing this Anjali saw her mother  as if feeling guilty of her mistake. Her mother went inside and with an angry face show her the pair of same earrings. Anjali was shocked. Her mother smiled and said " I knew that you will do such thing ,I had kept same designed imitation pair in your drawer, I hope you had learnt a good lesson from your mistake and you will not repeat this again. " Anjali hugged her mother and promised not to do such a thing again.
