  Getting Ready for the Fair   Mom, O Mom, please, tie my hair; I need to look cute; Daddy will take me to the fair And buy me a flute.   I will ride and ride a lot there On the merry-go-round; My joy I will with you share After I return from the fairground.   Mom, O Mom, why will you not go? Please! I want both of you! I will enjoy there the magic show; Mom, please! I do love you!   You know I’m a little child; I love eating every ice cream; The chocolate syrup should be mild; Of funnel cakes I do dream.   I need a beautiful doll; With her I will always play; I’ll go there to every stall; I’ll have animals of clay.   I love eating those peanuts; I’ll crack their shells and chew; Those toy palaces and toy huts Will be mine and always new.   I wish I would see my friends Somewhere in the fair; The happiness never ends, Flying in the air.   I will have the water balls; ...

Do you believe in Father Christmas? Do you believe in Santa Claus? It is such an exciting question to you all, right, little friends? Well, you know what? I, too, am like you all in the same boat actually. Yes, I, sometimes, believe in this idea but, sometimes, I do not. However, who doesn’t love receiving gifts, right? Now, let me share one of my experiences with all of you today about whether Father Christmas or Santa Claus has ever come to me or not. One evening, I really, really wanted to know who he really was actually. You know what? I tried to sleep with a plain belief that he would come to me and put gifts for me inside the stockings that I used to hang down from my study table. I promised myself that I would finally recognise who he was. Well, my mom said to me, “You can’t see him in this way. Still, you will be able to know, for sure, that he has come to you for giving you Christmas gifts once you wake up tomorrow.” My little friends, let me, please, tell you somethin...

  My little friends, I’m so glad to be back with you all right now. It’s been so long that I haven’t shared a word with you. Anyway, why don’t we exchange our views a little with one another about the act of sharing? Oh, yes! Well, we know and we all understand that “Sharing is caring”. Still, we ought to know that we need to act in that way. Please, would you mind if I ask you for something? Here, buddies! Let us all extend our hands to one another for the sake of sharing. We need to take care for everyone. And, to do that, we need to share our things with those who do need them the most. Every one of us can be super best friends. Well, please, do not forget what friendship is all about. Let us learn to share with all, no matter who that person is, no matter where that person comes from, no matter how that person looks like and no matter what that person gifts us. Still, please, remember that we need to listen to our elders whose pieces of advice are actually priceless. ...

My little friends, I’m back once again to share with you all the experiences that I had with a balloon a few years back. Well, it was long ago that I had a beautiful balloon with me. The elders were always trying to rebuke me. You know why? Because they thought that the pretty balloon might have been burst with such stress and strain from my end. I was super happy with that. It was a big beautiful balloon. It became my world for those couple of days. I can still see it in my vision right now. Then, on the second day, the elders’ words came true. Yes, that dear, that sweet, that big and beautiful balloon got burst while I was playing with it. I began to cry. They tried to soothe me. They tried to comfort me. Still, none could stop my tears. Hence, it is advisable, O my little friends, that we all should listen to and respect our elders. We should be caring. We must learn the acts of sharing. Yes, sharing is caring. I really didn’t mean to hurt you. Well, you know what? We must lea...

They keep us going actually. So, a few things I would like to share with all of you. No matter how big or small your dreams can be, you can live them with honesty, modesty and passion.

  Dear my little friends, today we will go through a tale of two sisters. The tale has been retold. I hope that you enjoy it. The Two Sisters: Snow White and Rose Red Long, long ago, there was a cottage. The house was little but it was very beautiful. There lived a mother and her two daughters in it. The family was very poor. Still, all its three members dwelled in great happiness and joy. Both the sisters took care of their mother with much love and respect. Their mother could not work that much. So, the two sisters used to clean their little yet lovely cottage all the time. They used to maintain its cleanliness. There was a wonderful garden attached to the cottage. It was full of various flowers. Well, there were two shrubs of roses in that garden: one of them had white roses and the other had red. Both the sisters took care of them with much love. They used to water them every day. In this way, the sister taking care of the shrub of white roses was called Snow White. Aga...

  Have you ever, ever taken a look at the sky? It’s so beautiful indeed. You can see the clouds of various colours, like white, grey, dark, golden, purple, and many others. How colourful and how wonderful this planet is! You can find so many hills, so many mountains, so many rivers, so many valleys, so many waterfalls, so many forests, so many seas, so many birds, so many animals etc. Look at Nature; love her, respect her, think of her, imagine of her, dream of her, care for her, and live in her. Nature is so pretty. How friendly she is! Have you ever watched the beauty of the sunrise and the sunset? Have you ever looked at the smiling moon? Have you ever enjoyed the beauty of the twinkling stars far above? Well, can we ever forget the rainbow? When we look at the trees that are so green, we feel so calm, and we feel so happy. We then want to hold them with us. In this way, we love Nature. My little friends, let us all have a very good time in a trip with our parents and ...

My little friends, Today, I would like to share one of my sources of delight of my childhood days with you all. I hope that you won’t be disappointed with me while reading this letter. So, let me have a talk with you for a few moments, please! When I was a little kid, I was literally crazy about ice creams. Well, I must confess that such a divine taste never left me alone. Yes, I like them even now. Well, who doesn’t like ice creams? Out of all the flavors, I was fond of butterscotch the most. Well, it is funny to note that I love that same flavor the most still today. I can’t stay away from them. So, what’s your favorite flavor? Is it strawberry? Is it salted caramel? Is it chocolate? Or is it something else? Would you mind sharing that with me? It feels like there can be no end to our exchange of words. I believe that my words do try to touch all your little hearts. Yes, you may be little, but remember, you are no less than an elder in the case of your talent, in the case of yo...

  I love ice creams; I love cotton candies or candy floss; but amongst all, I love a bar of chocolate the most. I wish I could have a little talk with a bar of chocolate… “O Chocolate, can you hear my voice? You are so tasty; you are so sweet if there is milk; you take my heart away in the twinkling of an eye; I love you a lot, O Chocolate. Well, my parents and my teachers scold me whenever I have you. Why do they do so? They say that you may decay my teeth; I have to listen to them most of the time. However, on my birthday, I receive a lot, a lot of your flavour and taste. Then, I feel as if I am the happiest one on this planet. Sometimes, on my way back home from school, I ask my Mom to buy me a bar of yours. Most of the times, she doesn’t, but it is not that she never buys me your sweet bar. There are lots and lots of memories that I have while biting you. Well, I must admit that I share you with my friends, because sharing means caring. I have learnt from the elders tha...

My dear friends, It's been my first time ever that I'm writing a letter to you. How are you all doing? In this open letter, let me share a few words with you. I'm going to tell you something that I experienced in my life. My mum says to me, "Stay strong, no matter how bad the day is. Remember, such days give us lessons. We need to learn from everyone. There is no human being who can be said to have known everything under the sun." I need to know, I need to learn so many things from you, my sweet little friends. Keep in mind, none of us are perfect. So, we should not judge the others when we are not perfect. Instead of all these, we all must love one another. We are all friends, right? Well, we should share things with one another, because we are all friends. We should respect our elders always. Let's try to praise the others. We should not feel jealous of anyone at all. Then what should we do? We should participate in the celebration and encourage the winner. ...
