Tanu’s Sports Day

Today is Sports Day in Tanu’s School. Tanu is studying in class 3. She is a very wise and active girl. She is good at studies. She participates in all the competitions and wins prizes too.

A day before the Sports Day, the class teacher instructed the students that they need not bring their school bags, but should carry some snacks box and their water bottles.

Tanu was excited to participate in the games.

For class 3, they have Frog race. For Class 4, it is sack race and for class 5, they have Lemon and spoon race. Tanu gave her name for the Frog race. Other Children from her class also gave their names for the race.

The school had a very big playground for all the games to be conducted. Trees were lined up in one side of the playground. So, it was shady for the kids to sit under the tree and watch the race. They also put benches for the teachers to sit and take care of their students.

With White powder, long track lines were drawn on the ground with numbers marked on it. The school’s Sports teacher, Mr. Raj was ready to blow his whistle for the race to start.

A teacher in the Mic called “Class 3 students get ready for the frog race”.

Tanu stood briskly on the track line with other kids who were allotted to each track.  When the Sports teacher whistled, she jumped, jumped and jumped … Finally she was the first to reach the finish line. Everyone clapped their hands for her.

Class 4 was ready for the sack race. They heard the whistle blew and the students got into the sack and started jumping. Suddenly, Raju fell on the ground. All the other kids who were watching the race started laughing “Haha….haha…haaa…”

Raju felt ashamed. Seeing this, Tanu ran to the track and lifted him and asked “Brother! Are you okay?” Raju said “Yes Tanu, I am Fine”.    

Tanu, “then what are you waiting for! Continue the race!”

Raju pulled his sack and started jumping.

At the end of the day, Prizes were given to the winners. Tanu received her First prize along with special appreciations for helping the kid during the race. Tanu parents were very proud of her.

Lesson: Instead of laughing at other’s fault, you can come forward and help/teach them.

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
