Oh, No!Karan K. Katira

Subhash was living with his family inKolhapur village. They were happy on allaccounts. They possessed seven acres ofland with a farm full of mango trees.Subhash’s father was owner of that landbut due to old age and accompanyingdiseases he had died last month. Beforehis death, he had given his son theresponsibility of taking care of the farmand the mango trees which were plantedon his son’s birthday by him. But Subhashwas careless and greedy.

Once a villager came to him and said,“I will give you the money you want, just

give me two rows of your mango treesas I am in dire need of mango woods."The greedy Subhash thought these treeswere of no use as they didn’t bear fruits.But he did not care about the fact thatthey were too young to bear fruits. Heagreed to sell two rows of trees.

In this way, one by one all trees werecut and only the land used to growseasonal vegetables was left. One day anexecutive of a chemical industry methim and asked him to sell them thewhole seven acres of remaining land asthey wanted to set up a new plant there.

Akshat Virender Malviya


That land being not so profitable for him,he once thought to sell it but sevenacres was a huge chunk of land. So afterthinking a lot, he decided not to sell theland but give it on rent to the company.

The industry started its work butpollution emanating from the factoryadversely affected the villagers. Thewaste produced were dumped into waterand poisonous gases released into theair. But Subhash was very happy as hekept on earning money through thoseland. He did not care a bit about theenvironment. He was so greedy that hedid not bother to keep his father’s adviceand words about taking care of mangotrees and the farm.

One day Subhash had a horribledream. He dreamt that the chemicalindustry which was established onSubhash’s land had emanated so muchpollution that all the persons of villagegot infected and suffered from severediseases and many people died. Policecame to arrest the head of industry.However he told them that the landdidn’t belong to them but to a villagernamed Subhash.

The police then arrested Subhash andseized everything from him as he wasresponsible for many deaths. Allvillagers laughed at him for his deed.While he was taken to the jail, all of asudden the dream broke and Subhash wasawake shouting, “oh, no!”

Once there took a fierce fight betweenthe sun and the moon. The point inquestion was which among the two wasmore famous.

A coin was tossed. Unluckilyfor both of them, it was neithertail nor head. The coin stood inthe middle. Now they thought asto what to do next. After severalrounds of discussions, it wasdecided that both would shine forhalf part of each day only,consisting of 12 hours. The sunwhich happened to be lazy said

Sun and MoonUzma Khalid Parmar

that it would shine when it is morningtime. The Moon agreed to shine in night.

They became friends thereafter.

There was a boy named Gopi who lived

in Rampur. He was orphan. He used to

work at a general store for one rupee a

day.

Once he saved one rupee by not eating

any thing. The next day he was hungry so

he walked into the market where he met

his friend Ranji who had a beautiful flute.

Gopi liked

the flute so

he asked

Ranji if he

c o u l d

exchange the

flute with

that coin.

Ranji

saw the coin

and figured out that it was an old queen

Victorian silver coin. He took it to the

jeweler. The jeweler told him that he could

give only ten rupees for it. Ranji became

happy, took the money and went away.

On the other hand, Gopi went to the

river which flowed nearby. There

his friends were fishing. Gopi

couldn’t catch the fish so he stood up

GopiAbhishek A. Lad

and tried to go away. But his leg slipped

and he fell into the river. He was soaking

wet so all his friends began to laugh at

him. He started walking towards the

market.

Along the road, as Gopi walked he

also played the flute beautifully. Gopi

passed walking

the jeweler’s

shop. The

j e w e l e r ’ s

daughter was

sick. Nothing

e n t e r t a i n e d

her. She heard

Gopi playing

the flute and

got up as if the melodious sound had

given her a new lease of life. The jeweler

called Gopi and told him to give his

flute. The jeweler was ready to pay any

amount for the flute.

Gopi only asked for one silver coin.

The jeweler had a daughter, but no son.

He became so impressed by his honesty

that he adopted him as son.

Baby Santa ManjariLay Keyurbhai Nayak

There was a pond near a village. One daysome children were playing near thepond. At once, a small child fell into it.He cried at the top of his voice.

Hearing his cries, a girl jumped intothe pond to save him. She did not knowhow to swim. Still she tried to save him.

She even managed to catchhold of a portion of hisshirt. But since she wasnot good at swimming, thecollar slipped out of hishands.

The child on the otherhand was throwing his legsand hands to save himselffrom getting drowned.He, in the process,managed to grapple herlegs. The girl broughtthe child to the shore andthus was able to save herlife.

As she had laboured hard, the girlfainted. When the villagers came toknow about the two, they took them tothe hospital.

The girl got the bravery award on 26January 1970 from late prime ministerIndira Gandhi. Her name was Baby SantaManjari.


Golden FeatherVidya Patel

There was a village. A poor farmer Ramu

uncle lived in it. He was a kind hearted

person. One day Ramu uncle was going

to plough his field. At

once he heard

someone crying. He

tried to find out the

person who was

weeping and in search

of him he moved into

the forest. There he

found a golden

peacock. His name

was Chandan. He had

a thorn stuck in his

feet. Ramu took the

thorn out from his feet.

A happy Chandan gave him one of his

golden feathers and said, “ I am giving

you a feather. You can multiply any thing

using this. You just need to keep it with

the thing you want to multiply.”

Thanking Chandan, Ramu uncle took

the feathers and rushed to the king. Ramu

uncle told everything to the king and gave

him the feather. The king was also a kind

person. He asked Ramu to return to his

village.

After Ramu departed, the king kept

the feather in his godown. The next day

he found that the foodgrains had

multiplied in quantity. The king

summoned Ramu and requested him to

bring the peacock to the palace. Ramu

uncle once again went to the peacock.

The peacock became very happy.

The king got a beautiful orchid made

in his palace for the peacock. The orchid

was named Chandan.

Since his entry into the palace, the

atmosphere in the kingdom changed for

the better. The king also rewarded Ramu

uncle with a lot of gold coins.
