Fantasy World

The fantasy world may seem far far away for you and me.
But you never know when it can appear when you truly believe.
It goes over rivers, it goes over streams, with your imagination.
So try to do it during your meditation.

Friend

A friend is like an angel, 
who likes you and helps you.
Whom anyone should not let go.
A friend is someone who makes no tears go down in a flow. 
The only thing that every friend wants for you is to grow. 
So accept your friend and you shan't make each other low.

Dream

Olivia had been asked to write a story. As she felt it was quite a bore, she chewed on the tip of her pencil. She chewed on another. She looked through her books, but she did not know what to write about.

This went on until night time. She went back to bed sad. Suddenly, an idea whizzed into her mind like a million sparks of electricity. She grabbed the book she was supposed to write in and hid it under her bed. She thought that maybe she could write her dreams. In minutes, she was fast asleep.

A second later, she heard the sound of sleigh bells ringing. Suddenly, Santa arrived. Olivia was spellbound. Santa just laughed and said, "Climb aboard!". Olivia went in the sleigh. Santa took her around the world and she discovered tons of her mystical stories of New Zealand, China, Venice, Mexico and Peru. Olivia hung on every scene. It was a night to remember.

Santa finally took Olivia to his home. He gave her a silk pouch full of beads. He also gave him some hot tea. "Thank you!", Olivia said gratefully. Santa just laughed. "Time to go home!", he said.

When Olivia finally came home, she woke up with a start. She immediately her to her desk and wrote her dream down. Every single bit she wrote down. How Santa took her around the world, the different stories, his home, all were written. She was glad about it.

Yawning, she went to bed again. When she reached it, she heard the jingling sound, from the pouch of coins! Olivia thought, was it really a dream?

Stone Gobbler

It was a super breezy day. Stone gobbler was out in the garden. Suddenly, he heard a cheep-cheep. He saw a baby firebird on the ground. He brought it home to nurse. It grew to be a beautiful firebird. After sometime he decided to find a mate for the firebird. He searched high and low, near and far, but could not find a male firebird.

In another part of the land there was a female stone gobbler with a male firebird, and she too had the same mission.

As stone gobbler entered an empty clearing he decided to have a rest.  Before he could do that he spotted the female stone gobbler.

The female stone gobbler was stone gobbler's old friend.  The firebirds squawked in delight when they saw each other and like any other storybook they all lived happily ever after.

Frightening shows

It was a dark stormy night. You could hear the thunder clashing miles away.

Julie and John were watching a super frightening show. It was so frightening that you just might run all the way to your room and lock the door (even grown-ups!). They planned to duck underneath a thick blanket to prevent them from seeing the scary parts.

Then, Julie looked out of the window and gasped. It wasn't raining heavily, but super heavily. They began to feel more and more frightened than ever. They shook beneath their blanket with their teeth clattering. 

Their mother called them from the kitchen and said, "You can come out now, the show's done." Julie and John were relieved.  They went back to their room to have a nap.

They were not done watching scary shows yet!  They might run to their room and back again, for yet another one. You never know.

Children

When the butterflies flutter by,
And your sister tells a lie,
You and I go off to bed,
To rest our tired sleepy heads.
Then we sleep night by night,
To be awakened by Mom's bright light.
We all say, it's a brand new day,
Cause everyone is going out to play.

Short stories of nature

Hopper was a very kind snail at school. She always helped Ms. Ladybird to carry the books.

Torry was Hopper's best friend. He was a bee and every time he soared in the sky, Hopper wished he could do that too. And every time Hopper went into her shell, Torry wished he could do the same thing. Still, they could do the same things like playing on the see-saw, having a slow race, and much more! But their favorite thing to do was trying to be each other.

One day, Hopper was sliding along calling Torry's name. Thinking she was sick, she tried to gather some pollen from the flowers and make it to the hive. There she saw that Torry was pretty sick, and when Torry ate the pollen, he started feeling better again and buzzed around.

That is the story of Hopper the snail. They also realised that friendship is the best cure.

Short stories of nature

Cathy was a little girl who cared about everything and everyone. She like nature and had a garden of her own. One day, as she was walking in her garden, she saw a chameleon in the grass. It was camouflaging with the colour of the grass.

Suddenly, her neighbor's dog Bogh ran towards the chameleon and frightened him. It quickly went up a tree. It stayed there quietly without moving a muscle till Bogh left. Once he was gone, the chameleon went down the tree, and started sunbathing. Cathy was amazed! It could also change to brown.

Cathy immediately went to get a box from her house. It amazed her so much, she wanted to see what else it could do inside the box. She also put branches and leaves to make the chameleon feel at home. The chameleon however looked sad when it went in its new home. Cathy looked through her science books and found out that chameleons are supposed to live outdoors.

So, the next day, Cathy put the chameleon on the ground and it went on a nice piece of grass sunbathing again. Cathy learned that all animals were meant to be kept outdoors.

It was truly a chameleon on the grass.

Rose

Rose, rose, o beautiful rose,
Everyone can see you shine,
So keep smiling till it is dawn.

Wonderful day

Today is going to be a wonderful day,
Because everyone is feeling gay.
Mother says it is going to be a wonderful day,
All of you can go out and play.

Sun

Sun, sun, so bring in the sky,
You make things more fun,
Swirling, twirling, like a ballerina,
You make things more happier.

Keep for time

Down beneath the ocean deep, there was a fascinating kingdom of pretty mermaids. Often they would search for things to put in a collection called 'keep for time'.

One very pretty mermaid named Shelly had no idea what to put in her collection. She thought about it all the time. One day, as she was swimming along she found a very rare shell. It had polka dots and it was twirled around like a ballerina. So she brought it home.

Shelly had had a long day today and she took a nap. When she was dozing, a little hermit crab named Henry was walking along. He was delighted to see the shell. Why? Because another crab took his shell and he had no home.

When Shelly woke up she found her shell missing. She began to search for it. Finally, with no luck, she turned to head back to the castle. As she was heading back to the castle, she saw Henry, who was looking very pale. She softened her voice and said," It's OK, you can keep it."

Henry was delighted. He went and gave Shelly a hug. Shelly declared it a special shell and to prove that she painted a beautiful picture of it and put it in a glass case. It still may be there (but it was nice, right?), beneath the ocean deep, along with other objects the collection named 'keep for time'.

The ball that went up and did not came down

Mark and Sue were playing with their favorite ball.

Then, Mark threw the ball so high that it never came down! They waited for a long time, but there was no sign of the ball. They went home to talk about it. As they looked through their telescope, they realised that it had landed on Mars! They were open mouthed. What could they do?

After a while, Mark came up with a risky way, "Well, we could launch into outer space". Sue thought it was a stupid idea, but how else could they go there?

So they prepared for their expedition and joined the next group of Astronauts. Their mother had tears in her eyes, but she wanted her children to be adventurous and told them to go on. When the final day arrived, they were very excited. They launched into space and were heading for the moon, but the rocket then did a quick turn and headed to Mars. When they reached Mars a friendly group of Aliens were happy to see them and told them they found a ball just like Mark and Sue's. They told the Aliens to quickly lead them to the ball. It was in a small crater.

They then returned to Earth. There was a large crowd waiting for them. They weren't surprised when they saw two children coming out. Mark and Sue's mother saw the children and ran to them.

The President declared, although they are the last to go to space, they are the first children that that the spirits to go to space. Mark and Sue told him that it was the ball that made them go into space, and the gratefully gave the ball to him.

Weren't they surprised when they were in the museum and saw they ball that went up.... but did come down and had a new name!
