early to sleep,late to rise

I like to sleep. practically i enjoy sleeping.i feel as if i have achieved something if i get sound sleep. Even in childhod, i used to sleep early.So early that I never heard 8 o clock siren those days.my mother used to prepare  dinner by evening . because if she does not feed me by 7 o clock,i would go to sleep without having my dinner.my father used to come home late and he would bring eatables like mixture, pakadas, fruits . they would wake me  from sleep and i would eat my portion and go to sleep again.But in the morning i would see those wrappers or covers and weep that without giving ,they ate everything. So , my mother would save small portion for me to eat in the morning.
One day,after coming from school i went in to the room where beddings were kept. I leant on them and went to sleep. it was only evening  and my mother thought i had gone to play  with other children. my sister saw me in that room and then  they madeup the bed properly  and made me sleep. mostly  first I would sleep on the mat ,but when i wake up in the middle i would be lying on the cot  with mosquito net tuckedin.
Once, my school master,mahadevaiah,did not come  home for lunch. His wife was waiting for him.it was time for afternoon session in school.students  were goin to school ,but i told them that as master did not even come home for meals,definitely school will not be there for that session. On hearing my words, they returned home.but the fact was that as it was alreadt time for afternoon session, he went direct to school and waiting for the students.in the evening he scolded me for misguiding the students.
In the afternoons, my mother used to go sleep. slowly i would go near her and lie on her. I would untie her blouse and suckle at her breast. If she wakes up, I would close my eyes. so would not slap me for doing such act.
