Tea Without Sugar
Let's fix others' conspiracies with a little effort
Atiya’s sister-in-law, Nadia’s, dream was to humiliate her in front of their mother-in-law. She kept trying to upset Atiya’s position with small movements. Atiya always foiled her plan.
Atiya made tea for her mother-in-law who was diabetic. She kept it on the shelf. She turned to the cupboard to get some biscuits. Nadia was waiting, she put two spoons of sugar in the mug and left the kitchen immediately.
Atiya saw this through the glass of the cupboard’s door. she poured the tea into another mug without stirring. Once again, she saved her day.

Forest Dance
Jackson used to collect wood from the forest to make furniture. That’s why he had to find fine and solid wood for this purpose. Oak, teak, and cedar trees were present in different parts of the jungle and were considered best for furniture making. He had to go deep inside the forest to get good quality wood. That forest was deep and dense, full of animals like bears.
