  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...

  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?

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. ...

  Thereafter, everyone had to find the hammer for Uncle Podger. In the meantime, Uncle Podger lost the mark that he had made on the wall. The nail was supposed to go in there. All had to stand up, get on the chair beside Uncle Podger and see whether they could find it. However, they found it in a different spot, and Uncle Podger called them fools.           He tried to reach a point that was three inches beyond what was possible to reach. As a result, the string got slipped. Then Uncle Podger had to slide on to the piano.           Lastly, he got the spot fixed. Then after putting the pointed portion of the nail on it with his left hand, he took the hammer in his right. Right then, with the first blow, he smashed his thumb with a painful yell. The hammer got dropped on somebody’s toes thereafter.           Again, Aunt Maria observed mildly tha...

  He looked for a handkerchief while springing round the entire room. But he could not find it out because it was in the pocket of his coat that he had taken off. Well, he could not remember where he had put the coat. Anyway, the entire household had to look for his coat, while he was dancing around. Moreover, he was hindering the other members of the family. Uncle Podger said in annoyance, “Doesn’t anybody know where my coat is? I have never found such a set throughout my life. None of the six of you can find my coat. I took it off just now. Not even five minutes ago!” Then he stood up and found that he was sitting on the coat. He spoke loudly, “Oh, you need not look for it anymore. I myself have found it now.” After half an hour had been passed in bandaging his finger, Uncle Podger got a new glass for the picture. Two of the family members had to hold the chair. The third had to help him up on the picture. Then the fourth had to hand him a nail, while the fifth had to pas...

None has ever seen such a commotion in a house except when Uncle Podger would undertake a job. Similarly, one day, a picture was delivered by the frame-makers. It had to be put up on a wall in the dining room. Aunt Podger asked, “What is going to be done with it?” Uncle Podger replied promptly, “No worry. Just leave that to me. I’ll do all that is required.” Right then, after removing his coat, he began. After sending a girl out for a few nails, he sent one of the boys just after her to tell the size of the nails. Thereafter, he shouted, “Will, go and get me the hammer.” Again he said, “Bring me the rule, Tom. Well, I need the step-ladder as well as a kitchen chair.” Then Uncle Podger said, “Maria, you don’t go. I want somebody to hold the light.” Then the girl came back with the nails. Anyway, Uncle Podger sent her again for a piece of picture cord. He shouted, “Where’s Tom? Come here, Tom. Hand me up the picture.” After that, Uncle lifted up the picture, but right the...

  Have you ever looked at the sky in amazement? Have you ever given it a thought, “How can it be so high? How can we touch the sky? What is the limit of its height?” Well, I believe that each one of you must have done these, haven’t you? Don’t you find it beautiful? Don’t you find it pleasant? Don’t you find it full of surprises? Yes, the blue sky is sometimes adorned with snow-white clouds. Well, then, it looks even more wondrous. Such an exceptional creation! Such an exceptional thing of beauty, true beauty! Such an exceptional mine of astonishment! Well, at dusk, why don’t we step out to enjoy the golden glow? Still, we all should recommend one another to ask for the permission from our parents, from our family. However, a gloomy, a rainy, a stormy, or a day full of adversity does demand our curious attitude to be fulfilled by our elderly people, for they care for us, they love us and they do protect us in each and every step of our life. Yes, we all need to enjoy natura...

  Long ago, there was a poor porter named Hindbad. He used to live in Baghdad. Hindbad used to carry heavy loads every day.           One day, he was carrying a heavy load as usual. As a result, he became tired and sat down to take some rest in front of a palace.           The palace was so grand that the porter became curious to know about the people living in it. He wondered, “How rich the people living inside the palace would be!”           Sometime later, Hindbad saw a passer-by. Right then, Hindbad asked the passer-by, “Who lives in this palace?           The passer-by replied, “The palace is of Sindbad, the famous sailor. He has travelled to a number of places or distant lands.”           After hearing everything with rapt attention, Hindbad loo...
