FOREWORD
Shakespeare said, I believe, “Brevity is the soul of wit” and Neil Gaiman said that short stories are
journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner. In
addition, our students have abided by both these maxims and have produced some of the most
wonderful pieces replete with their own art, their own characters and some of the most wonderful
stories. I would like to congratulate the fantastic Home Room Teachers, on their stellar efforts to
elicit this work from their students; the students, for their perseverance on this task every single
day over many weeks; and to all our parents, who have supported our reading program and the
development of reading skills at home. I do hope you will enjoy this book as much as we have all
enjoyed creating it and this will occupy a proud place on your bookshelf for many years to come
and, God willing, just the first in the many literary successes in the lives of our students.

Mihika Sen
Grade-1A
Once upon a time, there lived a plant in a beautiful garden in the Himalayas. Its flowers were yellow
in colour and had a magnificent fragrance. When someone smelled its flower, it felt like all their
worries would disappear for some moments and they became cheerful.
Gradually over time, there were climate changes and the beautiful garden started experiencing less
rain. Slowly, the Plant became gloomy, as its leaves and petals were lacking lustre and strength. It
looked up in the open skies and prayed for a miracle.
One day, gleaming in the moonlight, a pretty creature alighted down from the sky. She poured water
on the dying plant, as she whispered slowly to it “I am Fairy Elena. From now on, you will be a
Magical plant. Wherever you grow, there will be always enough water”. Soon, as the Fairy left, there

NEIL JOHNROSE

Nagercoil, a place in Tamil Nadu - home to three scientists called Brice, Lamnist and Rame. They made
dinosaurs come back to life and were happy until the dinosaurs escaped captivity.
I’m Neil and this is the adventure that my cousins and I went through. Their names are Calvin and
Nolan. We were playing cricket in the backyard, it was our favourite game to play. Calvin is the fastest,
Neil is a pro in dinosaurs and Nolan is the smallest but doesn’t get tired easily.
We were having so much fun until a dinosaur entered the house, breaking the gate. “What is that!!!”
Calvin and Nolan screamed. “That’s a Spinosaurus” I said. Spinosaurus is a giant theropod dinosaur
which can grow up to 60 feet. The one that had entered the house was 42 feet at least. “Run!” Calvin
said as the Spinosaurus hit the wicket. But before it could attack us, the Spinosaurus slipped, hit a tree
and still ran but could not get us for breakfast. Then we found a small unused treehouse, so we climbed
the tree and rested
After days of being away from home, the treehouse was the perfect place for us. Luckily, I had grabbeda
map and some food before we left home. Our treehouse had three floors and a observation level in the
third floor to look out for dinosaurs. There was a forest around it with a small lake near the treehouse.
We also ate fruits and berries from the forest.
One day the scientists got greedy and built a monster called the Vanotaurus. The Vanotaurus was the
worst dinosaur ever.They were excited, but the Vanotaurus attacked them and escaped captivity
heading into the jungle.
After a few days, just as we were eating breakfast a loud roar came from the forest. When I got to the
observation deck I saw a Carnataurus which is a big theropod dinosaur. It is a meat eater feeding on other
plant-eating dinosaurs like triceratops. I picked up the map and Calvin, Nolan and I ran out of the
treehouse. Then the Vanotaurus emerged from the trees but soon it got distracted by the Carnataurus so
they charged at each other until the Carnataurus defeated the hybrid. Then it went away into the jungle.
Just when we thought it was safe we heard another roar! “Oh come on” I said. It was a T.Rex andwith no
other choice we ran, but the T.Rex followed. We had run for hours and somehow the T.Rex hit atree and
lost us. Finally we saw a familiar street and…could it be home?????? Yes it was! We were so happy!
The scientists learned from their mistakes of making new hybrids in Nagercoil and relocated the
dinosaurs to another island called Dino Island. They did not harm people anymore.

THE TWO BROTHERS
REYANSH KIDIYOOR
GRADE 1B
Once upon a time there were two brothers. They were Elt and Egnit. They were both five
years. Both the brothers loved collecting and playing with cars. They bought cars from a toy
shop near their home.
One day, their parents give both of them money for their birthday. Both the brothers went
to the toy shop to buy new cars. Egnit buys one new car. Elt buys ten cars. Egnit tells Elt
don’t be greedy. Elt doesn’t listen.
So, Egnit reminds him of one story about the greedy milkman. The milkman used to supply
milk to his village. He used to earn enough money but was always unhappy. He wanted a big
house and a car. So, one day he came up with a plan and started putting only little water in
his milk. The villagers didn’t notice. Slowly, he started to put more water in the milk to earn
more money. In this way he could supply the same quantity of milk to more villages. But as
time passed, the villagers started noticing that the milk tasted like water. And they stopped
buying from him. The milkman became poor again and had to sell off his car and house. He
realized his mistake and started milk supply again.
After hearing the story, Elt too realized that it was not good to waste money and buy toys
which he already had. So, he decided to buy only one car.
Moral: Don’t be greedy.

Aanya Mehra
PYP1C
Once upon a time there were 3 people wanted to go on a snow mountain trek. They wanted to
have an adventure and climb the mountain but as they were coming back; due to lot of snow
they lost their track. They were very scared as they were running out of food and water and night
was about to come. IT was very cold and the temperature was -15 degree. It was freezing. At
night wild animals can come to harm them. So there were stuck on a snow mountain with no
plan. One of them got an idea to use his compass to point north because he knew his town was
on north side. Then they all started to walk north. One of them was not paying attention so he
fell down and broke his leg as he landed all his weight on the right leg. The other two decided to
go down to save him and carry him back. When they reached down they found their friend’s leg
was broken. They helped him get back up and slowly they started going north. On their way they
heard a wolf howl. They were now very scared. They started to increase their speed. Night was
coming and it was getting colder. Luckily they saw a small cabin with someone inside. They were
very happy and went inside the cabin to find another climber. The climber greeted them and said
he knows the way back to the town but it is dark. We have to rest for the night and then in the
morning start our trek back home.
The cabin had some biscuits and some juice. They happily ate and drank and then finally fell
asleep. Next day they said let us start to go north but the other climber said "No it is not north!
it is west". So they started trekking west and finally after 4 hours of trek they reached the small
town and were saved. This accident made them like each other and became friends.
