 Two Boys And The Nut

Author : ANJALI WARIER


One day two boys, Ram and Shyam were strolling through the forest. Shyam spotted a hazelnut on the ground. Ram ran quickly to pick it up and he examined it. The hazelnut was much bigger than the usual size of a hazelnut. They both were awestruck seeing a hazelnut the size of pear. The boys thought that it was magical fruit and something magical would happen to them if they ate the nut.

Shyam said, “It is my nut because I was the first to see it. It is mine!” “No, it is mine because I was the first to pick it up” said Ram. They started quarrelling for a long time just for an ordinary hazelnut. Little did they know that a passer-by was listening to their quarrel. The passer-by was hungry too.

When he saw the two boys quarrelling he had a cunning idea to get hold of the hazelnut. He went to the boys and he said to the boys, “Give me the nut. I’ll settle the quarrel.” The passer-by took the nut and cracked it and separated into two parts. He gave one part of the shell to Ram and said, “This half is yours.” He gave the other part of the shell to Shyam and said, “This half is yours.” Then the passer-by quickly ate the fruit seed and said, “The remaining is mine for helping.”

With this the boys were fooled by the passer-by and did not get anything.

Message: When two persons quarrel, a third person always gains.

Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA

  Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA Do you wish you could return to moments from your past? Yes, I wish I could return memories from your past as those were the days. Many people say that growing up is the best part of life. But I disagree. Growing up means a smaller margin for errors, a necessity for seriousness and I just dislike all of those. The only positive about growing up Is total freedom. No one to stop from chasing your dreams except you yourself. But then you need to mature and grow responsible, along with still obeying everyone; that is an expectation that others have of you. Meanwhile when you are a child; a chick whose egg has just cracked, your mistakes are turned into a laughingstock and your naughtiness are converted into a chance to snuggle into your mother’s safe hands. I tell you those were the days. I sometimes feel as if I would give everything I have, even if it means my life to go back in time. Sometimes I feel if only everyone...

The Lonely Old Lady Author : RIYAA JOSHI

  The Lonely Old Lady Author : RIYAA JOSHI "It started a few years ago. I was thirsty for blood. I had developed a taste for human meat and skin. My first victim, Officer Black, was my gardener. One fine day, he came at sharp 6 in the morning, as always, and watered my precious garden generously. At 7, he came in, and requested me to give him a glass of water. I went into the kitchen, alright, but a glass of water wasn't the only thing I took. As Frank the gardener gulped down his glass, my hand rose behind him and a long, sharp knife came into view. I plunged the knife straight through the hem of his shirt and inside his hot and sweaty back as a fountain of blood splashed my pretty pink dress. I couldn't help it, Officer. You see, I am an old lady. I get lonely sitting alone in the small of these four walls. My cannibalism always seems to overwhelm me. My second victim, was old Mrs. Thomas from across the street. Poor lady, I tell you Officer Black. Always cares for me, y...
