Lazy Donk-Donk Donkey

Old Mac Donald had a big farm, where he grew many ducks, goats, horses, hens, pigs and donkeys.

Kids story

Among the other animals, two donkeys were best friends. One’s name is Donk-Donk and other donkey’s name is Kim. Donk-Donk is a very lazy donkey. Donk-Donk will graze the fresh green grass and sleeps all the time in the farm. He spent his time happily without doing any work in the farm.

Kim is very hardworking. Every morning he woke up early, once the maid untie his rope, he will start his daily routine by carrying bundles of straws from the field to  Mac Donald’s barn yard. Each day was a very tiring day for him. When he returns back to his stable, he will eat the dried grass and goes to sleep.

One sunny day, Kim became very tired after carrying bundles of goods under the very hot sun. He was sweating and dizzy as if he was about to faint and fall. But Kim somehow managed to go back to the stable and lay down. Seeing the tired Kim, Donk-Donk said “I feel so pity for you”.

Kim replied “It is my job that I should do all these works every day or I will be punished by the maid”.

Donk- Donk smiled and said “Look at me, how happily I am enjoying my life. You too can try to be like me and enjoy your life”.

Kim said “Yes! I also wanted to do no work but stay in the stable and relax the whole day. Can you tell me the secret to be free without doing any work?”

Donk-Donk started to reveal his secret “When the maid comes and untie the rope, stand there without moving. Even if she beats you with the stick, never move. The maid would get tired and leave you and she will go for work. This is the trick I use every day to stay and leisurely spend my time ”.

“This is a very simple trick. Okay, let me try this tomorrow and see how it works for me” said Kim.

Donk-Donk wished him success.

The next day morning, the maid arrived to unleash the animals and take them for work. She released the cows, goats, sheep and horses. Lastly, she came to untie the donkey’s ropes. As usual Donk-Donk sat in his place and didn’t move a step even though he got whipped by the maid. But to the maid’s surprise Kim was also lying down and didn’t move. The maid brought a big stick to beat him and make him get up and go for work. Kim didn’t make a move, he was very adamant and sat for a while. The maid tried in  different ways by pushing him, pouring water on his body. Nahhh…Kim didn’t move.

The maid went to Mac Donald and said “Sir, I cannot make Kim move from the stable. I don’t know what happened to him, he is lying in the stable very adamantly”.

Mac Donald answered “That’s fine, leave him today, let him take rest. Now you go and bring that lazy Donk-Donk for work. He is the one who sleeps all the day without doing any work. Hence, today is his turn”.

The maid fed Kim with a bundle of green grass and dragged Donk-Donk from the stable and put him to work.

Donk-Donk was sad thinking that his happy life was gone, because of sharing his secret with Kim. Donk-Donk was made to carry all the harvest that was bundled from the field to Mac Donald’s barn yard.

Moral: When you do something bad, it finds its way back to you later. So teach good things, good way of living, good habits to others. And please don’t take your decisions on the advice of those who don’t have to deal with your results.

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
