Once upon a time there were three princes who were all young and handsome.

But the eldest, although was weaker than the others, was the most learned.

He believed in physical fitness. He also loved small animals, and had many

pets.

About two kilometer from their castle was a beautiful botanical garden.

It had few rare species of trees. The eldest prince used to do his morning

yoga here.

One day when he was in the middle of his yoga a bruised rabbit hopped

out of the nearby shrub. Its left eye was popping out and the left ear

half cut. It was bleeding.

The sight of the rabbit made the prince very sad.

On seeing the prince unhappy the rabbit told him that a stray dog had

attacked it last night. After the attack he had hid in the shrub.

The prince then took the rabbit to the nearest vet.

Mrs Tripathi is our neighbour. She lives in the flat next to our flat.

One Sunday, I was passing by her flat. I saw her and her cousin, Threesha.

Threesha was coughing badly. She looked in great pain. Mrs Triptahi and

I took her to the nearest homeopath. The doctor gave her an injection.

And advised some medicine. Rest was advised for a day. “No ice cream or

cold drink,” said the doctor when he left.

In two days time Threesha was fine. We then met and went to the nearby

ice cream parlour and had a cone of chocolate flavoured ice cream.

The very next day Threesha again started coughing. Mrs Tripathi said

that it was bad idea to have ice cream. We learnt our lesson.

Last Saturday evening, my family and I went for lunch to Delhi Durbar at

Hiranandani, Powai. It is located next to Eldora building. We walked from

home to the restaurant.

We were warmly welcomed by the waitress. A welcome drink of buttermilk was

served. Then the menu card was given. We placed our order. It took a while

for lunch to arrive.

In the meantime, we all got busy on our mobile. We checked all our whatsapp

messages. We also took a few selfies and shared in our family group. While we

were having lunch few calls came on our mobiles, but we did not attend any.

We talked about the forthcoming Spelling Bee exam. We wondered how costly

are the orientation programs.

After lunch we went to the nearby park and sat in the shade for some time.

My dad lied down on the soft green grass and dozed off. My siblings sang few

songs. In all we had a great family outing. We decided to have one such outing

each month. But dad said, “the next outing. only after the spelling bee exam”.

I am now somewhat fine though weak.

My room is quite cosy and comfortable. A sofa bed is there which overlooks

our kitchen garden. I also could see all that passed on the lane. A while

back a saw a girl with a wooden clock under her arm. Then went a boy with

a hat. His hands were joined behind on his hips. He had a peculiar smile

on his face and he was humming.

Then came Mr Taneja, a very handsome man. He has always been very kind to

my family members. We often have evening tea together.

It was summertime now. The flowers were blooming and the bees were buzzing.

We had not been fishing yet. Once I get well we will go fishing to Upvan lake

in Thane. We enjoy the scenery there. Also there is a good fast food joint

there where we have our brunch. He also makes available cold water bottles

and umbrella for our comfort while fishing in the sun.

We were to visit our school teachers. Mrs Srivastava is now at Capital

Hospital after her heart operation. I have now found from the hospital

that we can meet her only between 5.30 and 7 in the evening. Mrs Srivastava

knows that we will be visiting her.

around lunch time. We will have lunch together. We will then visit

Mr Varghese and Mr Pandey at the school around 4 in the afternoon.

At around 5 we will leave for the hospital. The hospital is only

4 miles away from the school, so we will be there on time. I will

be bringing flowers for both of us to offer to Mrs Srivastava. I will

try to have more tulips in the bouquets. After our visit to the hospital

you may suggest what to do as per your convenience.

I will call up Mr Pandey and Mr Varghese today evening and inform

them about our visit. I am sure they will be glad that we wish to

catch up with them after a decade.

Well, the worst has happened.

I found yesterday that my name was not in the list of successful

participants for the next round of selection. This time I had done

about it.

5 I feel great to share with you about a wonderful thing that happened

yesterday. I am glad I did it. I saved the life of a boy from fire.

Yesterday was Friday. I was on my way to Hiya's house to return her

notebooks. Just on the turning of 100 feet road, I heard cries from

a shanty. I noticed smoke rising up from its roof and also light flames

were there. An old lady was yelling for help as she was unable to bring

out someone. A few old ladies were around her but none could do anything.

They did not dare to go in.

I rushed to the spot and was told there was a young boy inside. It was

the old lady's grandson. I rushed into the shanty and in no time came

out with the terrified boy. They boy was holding me tight. He was unable

to believe he had been rescued. The grandmother took him in her arms and

kissed him possible a hundred times. She then fell on my feet and tears

of gratitude moistened my feet. I somehow stopped her from doing that.

I did receive minor burns on my arms and injuries on my feet, but nothing

to worry about. The joy that this gave me did not let me sleep on Friday

night. Now I wish to do more such acts if the occasion comes.

Mahatma Gandhi was one of the most famous freedom fighters in the history

of mankind. He led India in its struggle for freedom against the British

rule. And he taught Indians to fight for their rights through a unique way

of non-violence.

India and the rest of the world remember him fondly as Gandhiji or Mahatma

Gandhi.

Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2nd, 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat. His

parents named him Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

When Mohandas was a teenager, he stole money from his father's purse.

Later, he regretted it and confessed his mistake. Gandhiji had expected

his father to rough him up for his misdeed. Instead, his father stayed

calm and just accepted his apology. This incident was Gandhiji's first

brush with truth and humility.
