THE MAGICAL BIRD AND THE MAGICAL WORDS

Once upon a time there lived a little boy named Nikhil. He had no discipline. He
disobeyed his parents and elder’s words. He was a rude boy. He never helped anyone
when the neighbours asked for help. One day a ball from neighbourhood court entered
his garden when the neighbours came for the ball ,Nikhil scolded and warned them not
to do that again. Then the children returned home with ball. Children were furious and
promised to hit him one day. Soon after a man crossed the way asked for help. Nikhil
refused to help. So, the man cursed him for his rudeness. He stated that “one day you
will learn a lesson and realise your mistake.” Then he left the place.

The next day Nikhil went to the garden and played with his dog. There comes an old
woman to ask him address for the destination which she wanted to reach. He said, Go
away! I’m not in a mood to answer you. But the old woman pleaded him to say the address.
But Nikhil refused do that. Instead he directed her towards the wrong address. When
she reached there, she could find it as wrong address. Soon she fainted and fell onto
the ground. The people on the way came to help her. She was all right after an hour. She
returned to his garden and cursed him for being hard hearted. She stated that” You
will realise your mistake soon”.

A few days later Nikhil was playing with his sister in his garden. Suddenly Nikhil could
hear a word as Hey! What’s your name? He turned and saw a big bird. It was only talking
to him. He was wondering how the bird could talk. He asked, the bird how could you
speak? The bird said,” I am a magical Bird”.

Nikhil said, how did you get this power? Nikhil shouted, tell me quickly I want that
magical power. The bird said, if you want to have this magic power as you own. you have
to be kind and polite to everyone. If you practice this for Thirty-one days, I will tell you

WHO IS TO BLAME? (VALUE BASED)

It was a rainy day in the month of November, 2024. The roads of Chennai was
flooded and it was declared by the IMD as the wettest day of the records. Drenched
in rain John, young man of 20 was waiting outside the gates of the juvenile for a cab.
John was the only son of Mrs. Martha Samson. On the way back home John's mind
flashed the happiest part of his life.

He still remembers his 16th birthday when his father gifted him a one plus nord
8T phone. John was not a child addicted to tech gadgets before, but slowly he lost
himself as he had a lot of unmonitored time to spend with his mobile during the COVID-
19. His family prayers, chats during dinner and small hugs from mom were eventually
taken away by the mobile. He was so addicted to the games that he slowly lost his love,
patience and gained arrogance to be inactive to any response to his parents. His
behavioural changes was evident but Samson’s blind love on his son and John’s tricky
crocodile tears gave him an upper hand over parent’s authority.

His addiction and its aftermath was only known when he struck his father violently when
he attempted to peek into John’s mobile. Dad was rushed to hospital and treated for his
injury but lost sight in one eye permanently as the mobile hit hard on his eyes. Police
came into scene, his parents pleaded but unfortunately the law is for everyone. He was

taken to the juvenile where he started realizing his
mistake. He never wanted to meet his parents at
juvenile because he thought it was them who handed him
to the police.

The cab reached the home and John’s heart pounded
hard as he witnessed a deadly silence at his home. Into
the house he saw his one eye blinded father reading
newspaper and his mom’s garlanded photo on the wall.

INTO THE JUNGLE

In Ooty, a girl named Aditya lived with her family near a jungle. She had a brother,
Aakash. Her parents were Priya and Sanjay. On a Saturday afternoon, after she did her
homework, Aditya asked her parents,”I want to go into the jungle”. Her parents did not
allow her.

At night, she and her brother went to sleep at 10:00 pm. But Aditya didn’t sleep. She
woke up her brother and said “We will go into the jungle”. Aakash agreed. Aditya took
the key from the table and opened the door. They went into the jungle.

“Is this a rainforest?” asked Aakash. “No, it’s a Jungle” “Oh it is so cool” said Aditya.
They saw rivers, lakes and ponds. It was so dark and they were deep into the jungle.
They saw an elephant and they were stunned. “Wow, look at the big size!” said Aditya.

They became thirsty, so they went by the river to drink water. When they were drinking
water, they heard a noise. It was a tiger!! Aditya said “Oh no! It is one of the carnivorous
animals. It will eat flesh of animals and it is going to eat us too!” They ran so fast in
fear. “We should have never come here!” shouted Aakash. “Stop running” said Aditya.
She asked Aakash to pick up a wood. She saw two flint stones and started rubbing it.
The fire started coming out. They lit the wood and formed a torch. They waved across
the tiger. It was scared and ran away. They took a deep breath. “Let’s go home” said
Aditya. They ran back with the torch. When they reached home they were very tired
and slept at 2:00am.

At 8:00am, Aditya and Aakash woke up and told everything to their mom and dad. They
said “Aditya, you were very brave. But don’t go to the forest hereafter because it is
very dangerous’’. “Ok” they said. From thereon, they will peek into the jungle instead of
going inside. Aditya and her family lived happily and peacefully ever after!!!

FROM GLOOMY TO HAPPY DAYS

Raman and his parents lived in Chennai. One day, when Raman woke up, his mom
said that his school was closed due to a pandemic disease called covid- 19 which was
spreading extremely fast all over the world. The Government had announced a
complete lockdown throughout the country and only let a day for the people in the
country to go out and buy their needs. So, Raman’s parents went to the market on
non- lockdown days.

The situation was very tough for the poor and the homeless people. One day,
Raman saw few people in need of food and money on his street. He ran to his mother
and informed her. Raman and his mother then brought some rice and groceries and
gave it to those people. His mother also gave each of them a mask which she had
stitched. She helped them understand the importance of wearing it. During these
days Raman playfully started helping his mother in the household chores. However,
as days passed, he missed his friends and school. Staying at home all day was not as
joyful as he thought it would be.

One fine afternoon, Raman’s mother told him that his school was reopening.
He was excited and thrilled to hear that the classes would be online. “The classes
are very interesting”, thought Raman in the beginning. But after a few days he
started getting tired of his online classes. It was not the same as going to school. At
school he would chit chat with his friends, go around in the corridor and play in the
ground. “I miss all the fun” he thought.

One morning, Raman heard the news channel announce that scientists have
found a vaccine for the disease and the present situation was about to end soon.

Raman screamed, “hooray!!! 49 | P a g e

LIVING TOYS!

A child had a long-cherished wish to make his toys alive and play with them. So,
he would read many books to find out any such place where this could be possible. Finally,
he found out that in the Amazon forests lived a wizard named Abilo. The wizard had the
power to make anything alive. But it was very difficult to find him because he lived very
deep in the forest. So, the child convinced his parents to take him to the Amazon
forests in his holidays. They agreed.

Finally, the day arrived and they set out for the Amazon forest. They booked a safari
jeep and went into the forest. While clicking a photo of a deer, the child ran away into
the forest. The child was hoping that if he goes deep into the forest, he might find the
wizard.

After walking for a while in the forest he saw a small cottage. He knocked at the door.
“Is anybody there?’’ he asked.

No one answered. Suddenly, the door opened and a wizard came out.
“You must be the GREAT Wizard, Abilo! The child said.
Yes, I’m the great wizard, Abilo. But why have you come here? The wizard asked.

“O great wizard, I have only one wish. Could please make my toys alive?’ The child asked.
Sure, but what will you give me in return? The wizard asked.
Um… please wait, I’ll come back in a minute.

The wizard was very happy and said ‘’Thank you for these apples! Now, take this gem and
shine it over all your toys. And don`t worry, I`ll send you into the time when you left
your jeep. Then he cast a spell and sent him into the time when they were clicking the
deer`s photo.
“What an adventure” said the child as the jeep moved on.
He reached home and went straight to his room and shined the gem all over his toys.
Then they all became alive.

BEWARE OF STRANGERS

Once upon a time there were five children and a grandmother. They lost their parents
in an accident. They were in the care of their Grandma. One day, the children were
going to the school. They met a man on the way. He asked them, “Where are you going?”,
They said, “We are going to school”. One of the boys asked, “Why are you asking this
question?”. He said that he needs some help in carrying the logs to his home. The boy
said that he would help him. The man asked them to wait and said that he would send
the boy back in 5 minutes. The children said “Alright” and waited. But he did not come
back as he promised.

After this incident, they went to the school. The teacher asked the children about the
missing boy. They narrated the incident to the teacher. The teacher advised them to
file a police complaint and to be very careful next time. She also asked them to keep
her updated about the missing boy.

After the school was over, they went back home. The children felt so sad about the
missing boy and said about the happenings to their grandmother. The grandmother was
so shocked to hear about this and had a sudden heart attack. The children immediately
took the grandmother to the hospital and the doctor advised to go for emergency
surgery. He said that the surgery would cost them around one lakh rupees. The poor
children had no clue about the chain of incidents that happened to them and were deeply
saddened. They reached out to their school teacher and she promised to help them with
fifty thousand rupees. The other four children decided to go for work like cleaning,
cooking and washing clothes to earn the remaining money. Now the children were left
orphan with no one to help or support them. The incidents like child abduction could
destroy happy families and create child laborers. Let us all unite to raise our voice
against the evil acts like child abduction and child labor.

SOLOMON’S WISDOM

In classroom, a science teacher was holding a Hundred-rupee coin in her left hand
so that all the students could clearly see. In other hand she was holding a glass tube
filled with white colored acid. She said that I am going to put the coin in to the glass
tube with sad expression on her face. Then she turned to the students and asked “What
do you think my dear boys and girls? Is this acid strong enough to dissolve the coin?”

Everyone in the classroom was silent not knowing what to reply. But there came
an answer from the last bench student Little Solomon, a God fearing boy who stood up
and said “No, not in any case, coin will not dissolve Mam!”

Excellent, the answer is correct said the Mam and asked, “Can you now explain
why the coin does not get dissolved in strong acid?”

Solomon the wonder boy explained that, for such experiment if the acid could
dissolve the coin, then you would have used one-rupee coin not a hundred-rupee coin,
mam.

Students like Solomon who fear God can certainly be wise and knowledgeable. We
should always remember that “Fear of God is the beginning of Knowledge”

We created the group in corona time, so that we can chat in the corona time. But we do
very boring chat. Then same 4 GN GIF's,Then 4 Sweet Dreams GIF's.

Then my friend said a good idea. The idea was to take a picture of our
Crafts,Paintings,Drawings and colourings. Even we could put our Dance,Drums,Singing
etc. videos in the group. We did it and showed our talents to our best friends. We
recognised our own talents.

They showed it to their parents and reviews and feedbacks were motivating them to
reach heights.

A DAY ALL ALONE

Anu could sense an unwanted gaze as she was rummaging through her bag for some
sunscreen. She looked around to find herself alone and she continued her search. It
was her first day in the city park all by herself and that made her extremely cautious.
All of a sudden, there came a cloth and the next thing she knew, she was tied to a chair
with a thick rope which made her wrists and ankles hurt. The room was really dark,
smelled stale and apart from the two windows on the other side and a small bulb on the
high ceiling, there was no source of light.

Bam! The door slammed open. Through her blurry eyes she could see a silhouette
appearing through it. The silhouette grew bigger and bigger till it came right in front of
her and stopped. As it was now standing closer, she could figured it was that of a man
not aged over 25 and with a rugged face like that of a workman. He held a box in his
hand out of which came all sorts of noises. He opened it to let loose a box full of toads
on her who jumped all over her and he kicked her in the shins. He slapped her and asked
for her father’s phone number, the girl refused so he slapped her again.

Later in the night, the man brought her some food and untied her ropes. As soon
as the ropes were untied, she took out a bottle of pepper spray from her pocket and
sprayed it in his eyes. She grabbed her bag and hurried towards the exit of the mansion.
She could feel some movement behind her as she rushed for the gate and was almost
near safety. She grasped a bamboo stick smashed it into the person’s head which
rendered him unconscious. When she finally came out of the front gate, she locked it
using the keys she had found in the man’s pocket. Taking out her cellphone, she quickly
called the police.

The man was arrested by the police, while the girl was safely sent back home in a
police jeep. When her worried parents asked her where she had been, all she said was,
“Oh, you’re not going to believe it.”

EVERY CHILD IS UNIQUE

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Rahul who lived in a city called Kolkata.
He lived in a small apartment with his parents. He was not an only child for his parents,
and also had an elder brother named Rishi. Rahul was not as good as his brother and did
not respect anyone. He had no friends, due to his bad behaviour. Whenever he comes
out of his house and walks on the streets, everyone starts to tease him.

Rahul was studying class Vll in his school which was near his home. One day the
class teacher was teaching in the class, he came late at that time. Teacher asked him
the reason for coming late to the class, he replied in a funny way by laughing that, “Mam,
I woke up only just half an hour back so I came late.” The teacher got angry with his
response and gave him a punishment.

The next day also the same thing happened, he woke up late because of his
laziness. At that time an old man in the same street watched him continuously and was
very worried about his bad behavior. He thought that if anyone could mould him in a

64 | P a g e

JOHNIANS FABLES- SJPS 2020 Children’s Day Release

proper way he will shine in his future. “Why can’t I be the person to mould him”, he
thought.

The next day he met Rahul and asked him to come to his home. But he refused to
come. Again, the old man compelled him then, he accepted. He warmly welcomed Rahul
to his home. First, he spoke in a very friendly manner to Rahul and he also replied very
lovingly. Then the old man asked ‘will you follow my words, what I say.’ He replied ‘yes’.
‘you should use affectionate words while you speak and respect everyone. Next you
should be a good person and study well’ said the old man. ‘No, I can’t because it is very
difficult said Rahul. ‘No, you consider me as your grandfather and obey me’ replied old
man. First he thought of it and said ‘yes I will try my best’ and he went back home
happily.

The next morning, he was very active in all work. He studied well in school and got
many awards from the teachers. In the evening he was friendly to everyone and made
many friends and played with them. At night his family was very happy for his change in
behavior.

After 10 years he became an astronaut. He made his father and mother proud.
His famous sentence was

‘Every child is unique and every child is the step of every generation’

65 | P a g e

JOHNIANS FABLES- SJPS 2020 Children’s Day Release

This sentence became very popular in the world. Then he went to old man’s house
to visit and thank him for his achievement. After hearing the news, the old man was very
happy and then, at last he introduced the old man to his parent’s. They thanked him so
much.

THE DOLL PUZZLE

“Woohoo! Trick-or-Treating!” exclaimed Aiden.

“Yes, but couldn’t you have chosen something a bit more….scary?” Xavier quizzed Aiden’s
hooded jacket and ripped jeans.

“Well, I wanted to be Grim Reaper, but my dad wasn’t going to get me a new dress
..thanks to my ‘fantastic’ grades!” pouted Aiden.

“Well, what did you expect when you wrote that ‘photo’synthesis was the process of how
a camera is made!” teased Jinx.

“I thought it actually made perfect sense.” winked Aiden.

“Alright guys.. we are here to have fun, not to discuss your grades.” chuckled Ash.

The four friends laughed and walked down the street as the cold autumn breeze made
the trees whisper in hushed voices.

“Ooooh, it seems there is a Haunted house event on the hill! Let’s go” Jinx pointed.

As they reached the Haunted house, they saw a red signboard bearing “Enter……only
those who dare……”

As they entered the pitch-black hallway, BANG! The door shut behind them. Jinx
grabbed Ash’s hand in fear.

“AAAAAH!” Ash screamed.

“Sorry, its me.” Jinx assured as Ash let out a sigh of relief. ” Aiden and Xavier, you
there? Stay together!” she cautioned.

As they creeped through the hallway, “Hello…” said an eerie voice that echoed through
the walls. Aiden jumped on Xavier, like a koala bear on a tree, and both fell down with a
loud THUD!

“Ouch! What did you do that for?!” Xavier yelled.

“Welcome to my home…!” continued the voice, “My name is Mary, and let me tell you a
story…”

“On Halloween, I was out trick-or-treating with my family holding my dolly. I put my
dolly down to pick some candies, when some punk kids picked the dolly, ripped

her in parts and threw them away! I frantically searched all over, ran down the hill when
suddenly everything turned black.”

As the friends were listening with bated breath, Mary continued “All the parts of my
doll are hidden around here… I need you to find them. Good luck” Just then a spotlight
lit a table with “Place here” label.

”Ash and I will search left; Aiden and Xavier go right,”
Jinx suggested.

Others nodded and quickly dispersed to look for the doll
parts. Ash and Jinx looked though the cupboards filled
with cobwebs and found the doll’s head and legs. Xavier
and Aiden found the body and arms under carved
pumpkins.

They hastily fixed the doll, tossed it on the table and
dashed out.

At the exit, a man asked, “So, did you have fun carving
the pumpkins?”

The gang looked puzzled. “Pumpkins? We put a doll together…” Jinx responded.

The man wore a confused look…, as the kids rushed to the road, heaving a sigh of relief.

“Any longer, Aiden would have broken my back!” Xavier groaned.

“I almost passed out…” mumbled Aiden.

Suddenly, there was a whisper of the girl’s voice “Thank you.” They swiftly turned, but
there was no one…

“Maybe we’re imagining!” Jinx exclaimed, as they walked back laughing about their
strange experience

MYSTERIOUS NEVERBEAST TEACHING A LIFE LESSON?

Today in the Blue Moon day! Oh, I forgot, do you know what this day is all about? Let
me tell you a story…
Long ago on planet Earth, courage and wit was the key to every mysterious treasure one
could ever possess. As everyone knows, children boast with courage and wit when
compared with anyone else. On March 27, which is known as the blue moon day, is when
the moon changes to blue and………
Oh, where are my manners! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Evelyn and this is
a story told from our ancestral period!
Where was I? Yes! The moon changes to blue and the Neverbeast WAKES UP! The
neverbeast is safe when it is like this 

until it changes to this 

YIKES! What a nightmare! Yet, children those days were trained to tackle these beasts
with courage and wit. This beast wakes up when the first lights of the blue moon hit its

69 | P a g e

JOHNIANS FABLES- SJPS 2020 Children’s Day Release

fur. It grows its horns and wings when the light of the blue moon hits its fur again and
goes back to sleep when the blue moon fades away.

One blue moon day, everyone was awakened from their sleep by huge vibrations on the
ground. Everyone was armed, thinking it was the Neverbeast. In a few seconds, everyone
was in eye-to-eye contact with the beast! Seeing so many people (which was like small
moving sticks for the beast), the beast roared and...

Umm… I’m afraid the story stops there, no one knows what happened! That is why this
story is called the Legend of the Mysterious Neverbeast. The Neverbeast appears once
in 1000 years and today is the day it appears again!

Oh, did I forget to mention that I’m a CHILD and today is the day where I’ll be tested
to see whether I have the courage and wit to tackle the monster? I am excited yet
fearful, who knows what the Neverbeast will do when it grows its horns and wings?

We children had a tough training through drills and other exercises. But I feel courage
and wit is needed more than strength… Anyways, it is what it is…

Whoa… The ground is shaking, is...is...the adil awaken?? I think I can see it..! Ummm…
something’s not right, it already has the horns and wings! The blue moon light must have
touched its fur twice!

People are shouting and screaming ATTACK, it’s a total chaos! And, it’s time to spring
into action. 

The children (as trained) started throwing stones to hurt its knee and ropes to capture
it. The beast shouted loudly and fell down in pain and said ‘’The myths about me are
false, do not judge me based on my outer looks, rather did you think about inner beauty’’
and it busted in the air with pixie dust all over.

Wow, what a life lesson…

You might ask is this story is true, right? Every word…

have an important function in our house, tell your mom and dad to come to the function”
Rahul said ok grandma and ended the call.

The next morning Rahul and his parents were in
Tamil Nadu. They took a taxi and went to
grandmother’s village. In about fifteen minutes
they reached. Grandma’s house was a 3 storeyed
big house. When Rahul got out of the taxi his
grandmother came and welcomed them. Grandma
is an iron lady, even though her age was 72 she
was very active. When Rahul entered the house
the first thing he noticed were his friends,
Ramesh, Kavin, Meena, Salim, Gowri, and Priya.
They were all very close friends. All his friends hugged him and there were also his
aunties and uncles in the house. In the evening the children were playing cards on the
second floor and the ladies were talking about the materials needed for the function.
While playing Ramesh said, “I didn’t know that girls could also play cards very well “and
Meena said “Why girls should not play cards? frequently everyone was teasing each
other. As time passed grandmother said that they were going shopping to buy some
needed things for the function and asked the children if they were coming. Each of
them looked at each other and refused. Grandma said that because all of them were
going to the shops it would take them midnight to come to the house. So, the adults gave

the keys and told them to lock the door only to
open the door if they heard grandmother's voice.
Before leaving grandmother gave them a phone to
call in any case of emergency. Robert was the one
who locked the door and kept the keys in the
cupboard. After a few hours, the children were
alone in the house. Priya went to sleep as she was a
little tired because of the games she played in the

evening. The other kids went to the third floor and watched tv as one hour passed by
suddenly the children heard a shout from Priya’s room. All of them ran down to see what
happened. It was a shock that the ground was filled with dirty water. Priya was sinking
in the water. Salim put one step down into the water and instructed Priya to grab his
hand. Priya tried to grab his hand but unfortunately due to the force of the water Salim
also went inside the water. They both started to drown. Suddenly, Rahul ran to the top
and came back with a thick rope and tied one end in his hip and gave the other end to
his friends and asked them to pull it. Then Rahul jumped inside the water and tried to
overcome the force of water and went inside the water. When he held the hands of
Priya and Salim the other kids pulled them outside and tried to make them conscious.
Kavin said that “the only way is to call someone over the phone”. Ramesh said, “But the
phone must have sunk in the water as it was in grandmother’s room”. So, Rahul said, “Let
us all work together, Priya and Kavin you two go to the terrace and see if you can get
some help. Gowri, Salim, and Meena hold the rope, I and Ramesh will find the phone” and
all agreed to the plan. Ramesh and Rahul took a deep breath jumped into the water and
swam to grandma’s room. They saw that the phone was in the bed but suddenly Rahul
noticed a snake, they took the phone and swam as fast they could to get away from the
snake, also the kids pulled the rope. Luckily, the phone was working after drying it. On
the terrace they both noticed a pregnant lady suffering in the flood. In a few minutes,
the children and the pregnant lady were also rescued by the rescuers from the flood
because of the children. After the disaster, the children were awarded as the brave
children on children’s day.

godmothers had come and

gave both of them the same blessings. The first fairy gave the children that they would

always be happy.The second fairy said that they will be very

kind to everyone in the world. The third fairy had felt something strange in them so,

she meditated for some time. Aha! I have found out something

very special in your children, you will not know until they are three years old, but your

children will know this very moment when I bless them. I bless you

children by giving the power of memories. After few Month’s their children said their

first words, Elena said “Mom”, Elezar said “Dad”. The farmer’s wife and the farmer were

so happy.

So as the third fairy had said the children started to remember everything that had
happened. And even if their parents forgot anything the children will remember but
they could only help if they knew how to speak properly! And they really loved their
parents. After a few days there was a fire in a house nearby. Some people called the
fire fighters. But the fire fighters were not able to put out the fire too. Since the
farmer was poor he could not do anything. But they had brought their children also with
them. The farmer had taught the children to count so the children nodded to each other
and said three, two, one blow! And the children blowed together and a whole lot of ice
was on the front and saved the people who were inside and, after some time the ice
melted. All the news reporters surrounded the two babies of the farmer and the
farmer’s wife. And they asked all kinds of questions to the farmer and his wife. After
all the questions were over the farmer and his wife said that they do not know how this
had happened! But the farmer and his wife just realized what the third fairy had said
the fire accident happened the next day of their third birth day.

So at last they knew their children magical abilities. They lived happily.

Sona and Mona were hurriedly walking by when they saw the same old man laughing in a
creepy way at them. They got a bit scared but ignored it and continued to walk. Suddenly
the old man grabbed their hands. They got so scared that they got fainted.

When they opened their eyes they found themselves in a cottage. They got anxious and
got out of it. But something strange was there for them. Soon they realized it was a
whole new world. A place where everything worked by magic. The plants could dance,
The sky was pink in colours, The trees bore chocolates and cakes instead of fruits,
Animals could talk and a lot more amazing things. Having seen this their happiness knew
no bounds. Soon they forgot what had happened with them and started exploring the
place.

After walking a while they came across a talking elephant. They thought of making
friendship him. They asked him whether he would be their friend. But the elephant
scoffed at them and said,”You are too small to be my friend.” Sona and Mona got
disappointed and went ahead. After a while they came across a herd of deer. They asked
the captain of the herd whether they would be their friends. The deer laughed
sarcastically and said, “You walk too slow and we can beat even the wind with our speed,
how could you even imagine being our friends?”

In search of friends they wandered through out the place but to no avail. Finding no
friends they got dejected and decided to take a break. After walking a while they came
across a waterfall. Being thirsty it was the place they were looking for. Also by this time
they had lost their way back to the cottage. After quenching their thirst both of them

understand that the old man was no other than a witch. She assured them that so long
she was with them no harm could be done by anyone to them. She gave them two magical

,she got quite angry and set out to find them. Soon she could hear the loud singing voices
of the girls and landed there. The sight of the singing girls filled her heart with joy, as
if she had caught hold of her pray. The croaky laugh of the witch made the girls look
back. Alas! The witch had come back. Said the girls. Immediately they grabbed their
necklace and started reciting GILLI-GILLI-CHHU. Before they could finish reciting
three times the magical words, the long hands of the witch was dangling in front of
them. They were about to lose their hopes, the fairy appeared out of nowhere. She
pointed her magical wand at the witch and she got flung away towards a distant mountain.

The girls started clapping their hands and say aloud GILLI-GILLI-CHHU.
Having heard these strange sound, Sona and Mona’s mother came by. And said,
” Babies! Get up. Your school opens today after vacation.”
Oh! No. Now they realized it was a dream.

THE MYSTERIOUS GARDEN

Once there lived two best friends named Sam and Summit. They liked to do
everything together. Summit was a very good child he was very kind and hence
everyone liked him, whereas Sam always got angry and he was never satisfied

They had a lot of fun in that Garden. They played and danced happily in that
Garden. Sam spotted a beautiful rose in that Garden. He called Summit and said
“See Summit what a beautiful rose I found.” Then Summit replied “Yes Sam this
indeed, a beautiful rose.” Then Sam said “I am going to pluck this flower.”
Hearing this Summit said that “Please, don’t pluck this flower Sam.”

But Sam did not listen to Summit’s words and he plucked the Rose. Suddenly an

Unicorn appeared in the Garden and said “How dare you pluck my flower you

naughty child, you will surely get a big punishment for this.” Hearing this Sam

and Summit got scared. Summit said that “Oh, Mr. Unicorn please forgive my

friend.” The Unicorn replied “Oh, now you will teach me what to do you little

child?” Saying this the Unicorn took both Sam and Summit to a Haunted Hut.

The Unicorn locked up Sam in a dungeon and took Summit to another Garden.

The Unicorn said to Summit that “TODAY I AM GOING TO HAVE A

HEARTLY MEAL.” Hearing this Summit got so scared. But the Unicorn

was not able to eat Summit. The Unicorn thought to itself: Oh no, this child

has not killed or disturbed a single insect that is why I am not able to eat him

The unicorn said to Summit That “Gwarsh, you little child Kill that butterfly.”
Summit replied “No, Mr. Unicorn I won’t kill that butterfly it has done nothing
bad to me.” The Unicorn thought Ughhh, this child won’t obey me, never mind I
will eat the another child, He is naughtier than this one.

And then the Unicorn flew towards the dungeon. Summit was lonely and started
Crying. Hearing this A fairy appeared and asked Summit “What happened my
Child, why are you crying?” Summit narrated the whole story to the fairy.
The fairy felt bad for Summit and asked him that “Is there any way I can help
you my child?” Summit thought for some time and replied “Can you show me
my friend?” The fairy said “Yes, Of Course, Why not?”

The Fairy gave Summit a magical globe from which he was able to see Sam.
Summit asked the fairy that “Is there any way in which I can help my friend?”
The fairy replied “Yes, I will send some insects. If he gets angry and smashes
the insect then I cannot help him but if he doesn’t then I can help him.” When
the insects came near Sam, He didn’t smash the insects, so the fairy took Sam
to the Garden. Summit was happy to see Sam and he asked the fairy to take
them to their home. Before they knew it, they were in their home. And Sam
learned to be good and he never got angry.

THINK AND ACT

On a breezy morning, fog glazes my eyes. We are heading onto the way of a mountain.
The tip of the mountain touches the clouds, the dense layer of the hardwood trees
canopy looks like a green sea. The birds like toucans and Peregrine falcons are
screeching. We reached a hill station. Wow! What a cold and strong breeze. Thunder
and lightning are touching the windmills. We three families of our schoolmates have
arrived at the hill station. All are super excited about the fantastic trip.

Then we went to the thick forest and we saw a diverse landscape. We were distracted
by the sound of drizzle and gushing of water which attracted us and then we came across
the Halasana waterfalls. We were so happy as we were swimming in the water. The trip
was so magnificent and unique. We had planned for trekking in the dense forest. We
started our journey and were chatting with each other excitedly. We had followed our
parents at a reachable distance. At that time, we are distracted by the sound of birds,
after covering some distance, we saw the amazing beauty of nature. The woodpeckers
cracking a hole on the trees and filling them with nuts, and the naughty squirrels trying
to capture their nuts and running here and there. We were hypnotized by nature. We
walked into the dense forest. We had enjoyed the sight of different birds and animals
sounds but it is thrilling. At some distance, we saw a herd of deer,it was a delightful
treat to our eyes. In our quiet and peaceful journey, we were distracted, the danger

was hiding right behind the bush. Suddenly the roaring lion leaps from the bushes, we
were scared and froze. It came to hunt the deer.

When we shouted, the lion's target changed and came towards us. We did not know how
to handle this situation. My brother suggested to show fire in front of the lion, but at
that current situation we could not find any luminous objects and another teen said, “do
not move”.

When the lion came before us, we went back then we reached the land with sand. Then
suddenly the teen got an idea, he asked us all to take some sand and throw it on the
lion's face so that it cannot see us. Immediately we took some sand from the forest
floor then we threw sand on the face of the lion and it was interrupted, and all started
to run. Finally, we escaped from that, and then only we realized that we were lost our
parents must search for our parents before it gets darker. We all started to walk faster
and there we found a group of people walking. Only then did we realize we were out of

danger. We went there and asked the people and got to know they are coming as tourists
with one guide. Explained everything to the guide and asked to help us. The guide
informed the police about us and we all were safe. We reached the destination with the
help of the tourist guide and there we saw our families waiting for us with the police
and they were too scared and worried about us. When we saw our families, they were
very happy to see us. As we are children, without our parent’s knowledge we should not
go anywhere. We did not lose hope. So finally, we were saved by their brilliance and
knowledge. We should always try to do something, and we should never give up. We
should not think of anything negatively and give positive vibrations to others, ourselves.
Education is the learning platform for our life. if we are in trouble we should not be
scared. Our brilliance is based on the presence of the mind, we must use this and find
the solution to our problems.
