The Turtle and The Duck

Once there was a turtle and a duck. They were friends and they loved each other. One day when the duck woke up her stomach was hurting. Then the turtle said, “Let’s go to the hospital.” When they saw the doctor, the turtle said, please check her body. After checking the duck’s body, the doctor said, she has stomach pain. Then the doctor said to the turtle, she is pregnant. We must admit her in the hospital.

Then the turtle asked, how much money will this cost? The doctor said it will cost Rs 5,000. The turtle said, “Sir, we have only Rs. 1,000 with us now.” Then the turtle said to the duck, “you stay here. I will go home and count how much money we have.” Then the turtle went home and counted the money. The money was Rs. 3,000. Then he went to the hospital and ran to the counter. He said to the receptionist, “we only have Rs. 3,000 in our home.” Then the receptionist said to the turtle, “Just give the money later.” Then the turtle was happy.

The turtle went to the duck and asked, “when is the operation?” “Day after tomorrow” said the duck. The turtle said to the duck, “you sleep now. I’m going home.” The duck said, “ok.” Then the turtle went home. Then the turtle started praying to God. He prayed and prayed to God for one hour and he slept without food. The next day, a letter came from some of his friends. When he opened the letter, it contained Rs. 1,000. Then he put all his money together. And when he counted, the money totaled Rs. 5,000. Then he took the money and ran to the hospital and gave the money at the counter.

Then he went to the duck’s room and saw the baby. Then he went home and took his car and drove to the hospital. And picked up his wife and the baby. Then they went home. The duck and the turtle were thinking “what name should we give to the baby?” Then they took the Bible and looked for a name. They saw the name Samuel. When the baby’s first birthday came, they called their friends and relatives. Then they were preparing for the birthday. They all went to the market and bought cakes, biscuits, apples, and Pepsi. The people enjoyed the party. The people loved Samuel.

Shammu and the Puppy

Once there was a little boy named Shammu. He liked to go outside and see the flowers, trees, houses and play with his friends. One day, when he went outside, on the side of the house he saw a basket. A puppy was in the basket. When Shammu saw the puppy, he liked it very much. Shammu ran to his house and took his milk bottle and poured the milk into the bottle and ran back to the puppy and gave milk to the puppy. Later he took the puppy home and then on the puppy followed him when he went for walking.

One day while walking he said, “what a lovely day .” He looked at the flowers and he noticed that some of them were yellow, some were orange, some were red, some were violet, and some were white. Then he looked at the sky and noticed that the sky was beautiful, the grass were green, the shrubs were green. Some of the houses were made of wood, bricks, and cement blocks. When he said all this to his parents they were surprised and realised that he loved to watch the nature.

So when he became six years old, Shammu’s parents bought him a bicycle. His mother told him “today you are going to learn to ride the bicycle.” Every day, Shammu practiced after he returned from school. One day he tried to ride the bicycle himself and found that he could ride it himself. His mother and father were happy that he learned to ride the bicycle. Shammu was happy too that he could go and see everything on his bicycle. And he did along with his puppy.

For Mother’s

Lord thank you for good mothers
Even when they are mad they are special
Even when they are angry they are good
Even they are moody they are mighty

They read ,they pray
They care,they love
They cook, they serve
They wash, they wipe
They sweep, they mop
They scrub, they scream


Lord Please give them grace to serve you

Give them love to help others

Give them peace to rest in you.

Once there was a bear and a fly. They were good friends and they loved each other. They played together and slept together every day. One day when they were walking outside, they saw a store and went inside. They saw a violin there. They asked the shopkeeper “what is the cost of one violin?” He said, “Rs. 135.” The bear asked the shopkeeper, “do you have two of them?” The shopkeeper said, “Yes, we have.” Then the bear asked, “what is the cost of two violins?” “The cost is Rs. 270” said the shopkeeper. “Now we only have Rs. 100" said the fly.

The fly told the bear “let’s go home and count how much money we have.” Then they went home and looked in the money-jar to see how much money they have. They only had Rs. 50. Then they started to cry. When they stopped crying, they washed their faces and went back to the store. The shopkeeper asked, “do you have Rs. 270 ?” “No, madam, we only have Rs. 150" said the fly. “That’s ok you two take the violins home just bring the money any time later.” said the shopkeeper.

Naura’s Night Adventure

Naura lived in Tamil Nadu, with his parents and his one brother and one sister. He has many toys like building blocks, cars, bikes etc. He used to play with his toys. His favorite was his crayon gun which he got for his ninth birthday. His family had their own garden. There were fruit trees in their garden like mango, guava, banana, cherry tree, and papaya, etc. They used to roam around the garden with their neighborhood friends. His friends loved to play there because they did not have a big garden like Naura’s family. Naura and his brother and sister were kind to their friends. So their parents allowed them to play in the garden with the friends. He had a dog in his house. Wherever Naura went, the dog followed him.

One night Naura thought “I will go and get the crayon gun and shoot the mangoes down”. So he called his sister and brother and told them his plan. So they agreed to pick mangoes from the ground in bags. Naura, his brother and sister had fun collecting mangoes with the dog running after them. It was difficult to carry the mangoes home. So they took their cart and put the bags in it and pushed it home. They went to sleep afterwards. When their mother came to the kitchen in the morning, she saw a basket full of mangoes. She was worried who put the mangoes in the basket. So she went and asked Naura. Naura told his mother about his night adventure. She was surprised yet happy. And she shared their night adventure with their father.
