The Rude Elephant

There was a huge jungle. In that jungle, there were different types of animals. All the animals lived and played together. But there was one elephant that was very proud about himself and because of this nobody played with him. The elephant always used to walk around and say that he was the biggest animal and he was very great. He used to talk rudely with other animals. The elephant never helped anyone.

One day when the elephant was playing​ alone, he went near a big tree to rest. But suddenly the tree fell on the elephant’s leg. It tried a lot to get off this fallen tree and finally it was successful. But, because of the wound it could not move so it started screaming with pain.

The other animals who were playing heard the sound and started searching for the elephant.  When they found him, they noticed that his leg was bleeding. They divided to help him. They all brought some medical plants and applied them to the wound. They also brought some food for him. Some brought sugarcane and some brought bananas. They looked after him for some days. Finally he was fine.

The elephant thanked everyone​ and went to his place. He decided that living big is not important. But, having a great heart is very important to everybody. No matter how big we are, our warm heart is good for us.

Once There Lived a Family

Once upon a time

There lived a family.

They would gather

and bow to each other.

See the children

helping their parents.

And parents give them something.

Mother does greenery,

And children twirl.

Once there lived a family.

My Time in My School

Friends are the most important and precious people in our lives. We have all the liberty to make friends. We can make friends anywhere in the world. We look for friends so that we don’t feel lonely in this world. When we are with our friends, if we don’t talk to each other, then having a friend itself is waste. So for that we talk with them and share our feelings. Then they also feel like sharing their feelings and they do it. Here is a true story about one girl having many friends and has one or the other problem.

I was studying in class 5. It was new to me since I changed my school from __________ school to The South School. The South School was my best school with best teachers, best helpers and best friends. I was the only girl in our class. So I felt shy to make friends with the boys, since the teachers in my other school taught me to be friends with the same gendered students.

One day, in the lunch break I saw a girl, really chubby and pink. Her name is Pragna and she studied in class 4. She sat with me that day. We introduced ourselves to each other and became friends. She started sharing her secrets with me. I found that all her secrets were about friendship and things that happen in her home. I also started sharing my secrets about my old school, happenings in home and friendship. Both of us had similar kinds of problems.

We trusted each other more than our parents. She started marking my words and started doing what I told her. I never wanted to rule her, so I just gave her tips about her behaviour. We exchanged opinions about each other and gave each other many challenges like not laughing, not talking and many other things. I love her the most. Each of us hopes to be with each other always.

You see all friends share each other’s feelings. Why?

One person has lots and lots of feelings and doesn’t know whom to share it with. At this moment is where we go to make friends and share it with them. They sometimes give us ideas about how to face the situation. This is what I learnt by being friends with Pragna. I have faced hard things which have become easier than before.

I hope you liked my life story in 5^th standard. However there is another friend of mine who was very naughty. I will tell you next time.

A Selfish Girl

One day one girl named Dhivya was playing with her friends. She would cheat and win the game. She was not sharing her things. She was not helping her friends. One day she was playing on the swing. One boy came and asked, ‘Can I play for some time?’ She said ‘No you can’t play.’ The boy said, ‘Why can’t I play?’ ‘Because I love playing on the swing.’ The next day when she was playing with her friends, they said, ‘No. You don’t come to play with us.’ ‘Why can’t I come to play?’ Her friends said, ‘You will not share or help.’

Day by day everybody started hating her. She asked her mother, ‘Why is everybody hating me?’ Her mother told her ‘Be kind and helpful. If you do all these things everybody will like you again.’ Dhivya said ‘Ok mom.’ She started doing these things and everyday she was happy.
