Roopa, The Angry Bird

 By Shareena

Roopa is a short tempered girl and becomes angry for silly little things. She has a little brother named Akhil. On a fine day, Roopa went to market and she found a beautiful attractive flower vase in a shop. She immediately bought it without a second thought.

Roopa spoke to herself “Wow! What a lovely colorful vase it is, hand crafted mirror works all over it, and its shining, I should be proud of having it in my home”. She went back home carrying it carefully.

She showed the vase to her mom and put it on a wooden table in her living room and went away to do her home work.

There comes her little naughty brother Akhil, carrying a toy airplane. Loudly making a sound brrr..brrrr…imagining the airplane is running up and down in the air. And the Airplane rounded the table and came near the vase. Dasshhhhhhhh…..the plane hit the vase and the vase fell and  broke into pieces.

Hearing the sound, Roopa came running out of her room. Her face turned red and she started shouting at Akhil. Poor Akhil doesn’t know what to do and was standing there in a frozen state hearing the scolds from his sister.

After listening to those words from Roopa. Amma came out of kitchen with a mirror in her hand. Amma said “ Roopa! Here look at yourself in the mirror and tell me how you feel”.

Roopa got the mirror from Amma looked her face. It was red with wide opened eyes and cranky lips which was so ugly.

She was shocked to see her own reflection and started crying.

Amma said “Roopa, your name means beautiful, being angry makes your face look ugly and frustrated. Please stop being angry and start to think before shouting at someone. This vase was broken accidently. Anger will spoil our health and also makes us regret later for shouting at that moment.

Roopa!  You are a beautiful girl, but your inner beauty (calmness, kindness) will reflect on your face.

Amma went inside the kitchen to continue her work.

 

Anger



Moral: Postpone your anger, be patient at that moment. You will never regret later.

Mira drank Sweet corn soup

It was April 14 th , Tamil New year. Mira’s mom woke her and asked her to get ready to send wishes and distribute sweets and savories to their neighbors Kumar family. Mira was too tired. Mira said to her mom that she still feel sleepy and doesn’t have the mood to dress up and go out. And more over Uncle Kumar’s son Thiyash never shares any of his things with Mira. Mira told her mom, “Thiyash is mean and selfish too. Why do we need to share him sweets made in our home, Ma” Mom replied “Today is new year. I want you to forget all the old arguments and start to be nice from today or you will get bad luck, remember!” Mira wore a beautiful blue lehenga which had golden lotus and pink flowers embroidered on it.   She wore pink chanbali earrings and was all ready to meet her neighbors. Mira’s mom handed her a plate with 3 laddus, 3 murkkus, 3 vada and a small bowl of kheer. Mira walked carrying this plate to her neighbors’ home. She knocked at the door. No one answered.

Goldy, a Friendly Fish

Nagapattnam, a place in Tamil Nadu is a coastal area. Most people do fishing for their survival. Early morning, fishermen get ready with their fishing rod, big wired nets, baskets, and other accessories which are needed for fishing. They also pack some food and drinking water as they don’t know when they will be back to home. In a small village in Nagapattam, there lived a fisherman named Mattu. Mattu was a tall, strong and dark man with short curly hair. He wears colorful dhoti and a white vest with a munda (a piece of cloth) tied as a turban to his head. By 3.00 am, he packed his things and left for fishing in deep sea. That day, the sea was very violent and stormy. Big waves raised up the yatch. His yatch was almost about to drown. He shouted for help, being in the middle of the sea. None could hear him in that strong wind. Mattu’s Yatch drowned. He held a piece of wood from the yatch and was floating. Back in the village, Liloo, Mattu’s daughter was worried that her father

Save every drop of water

It was a bright sunny morning. Golu woke up and stretched his hands with a slow “…yaaaahh….”. He got up from his bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Without turning off the water tap, he was brushing his teeth for a long time and emptied the whole water tank in his house. When he was about to wash his mouth and brush he found that no water came from the tap. He tapped the tap’s top and turned the value from left to right and right to left. He was confused “I saw the water  coming a minute back, now what happened??” he thought scratching his head. He called his Grandfather “Grandpa! Grandpa! Please come here!” Golu’s grandfather hurriedly came to Golu’s room. He thought Golu  is  in trouble. Golu: “Grandpa, I was brushing my teeth and there is no water coming out of this tap. Is there a mistake with the tap?? Please check Grandpa” Grandfather thoroughly inspected the tap. The tap was perfect. He checked the water line pipes for leakage. It was good and in working
