Once, in a cozy little house, there lived a young girl named Khushi. Khushi had a special talent: she could sleep through anything. Not even the loudest alarm clock or the brightest sunshine could wake her up. This posed quite a challenge for her mother, Mrs. Shalini, who had to prepare Khushi for school every morning.
Mrs. Shalini tried gently waking Khushi one hectic Sunday, but it was futile. Finally, she used her secret weapon: "Khushi, if you don't get up now, you'll miss the school bus!"
This sentence had magical powers. Khushi's eyes snapped open wide, and she sat up with a look of pure horror on her face. "No, not the school bus!" she exclaimed.
Khushi's eyes snapped open, and she sprang out of bed in a panic, trying to dress at lightning speed. She put on her shirt backwards and almost wore both legs in one pant leg. Mrs. Shalini chuckled, "Slow down, you still have time."
Khushi took a breath, dressed correctly, grabbed her toast, and ran out the door, shouting, "Thanks, Mom! I'll never miss the bus!"
Every morning after that, the threat of missing the school bus became the most effective alarm clock for Khushi and the house was filled with the familiar chaos of last-minute preparations and the sound of Khushi's hurried footsteps, all thanks to the magical power of the school bus threat.
