    FOREWORD

    Stories indeed have been a very forceful means of socializing young children and

    inculcating noble values that a society wants to nurture among the coming

    generation. There is almost a consensus among language pedagogues that story

    telling method makes the language learning a joyful activity and at the same time

    effective too. Story writing is a creative activity, which not only enhances the

    language comprehension and communication ability but provides a platform to a child

    to express his/her original ideas and above all his/her feeling and thinking about

    the world in which he/she lives. Story writing is also a mode to reflect upon her

    vision about the dream world, a child likes to see.

    The present book 'Wings of Imagination' is a collection of stories written by Baby

    Azka Masih, an 11 year old girl studying in class 6. It includes stories, when she was

    in class 4 she became addicted to read stories. She was inspired by some authors

    and decided to write her own stories. As a father of Baby Azka my role has been

    confined to encouraging and motivating her in putting her creative and imaginative

    ideas on paper in the form of stories. These stories may lack in technical maturity

    but I am sure they will attract the interest of the peers of the writer whose

    thinking and dreams these stories represent. Moreover, as a student of education I

    have found this volume quite fascinating to understand the feeling aspiration and

    dream of a young child. Azka's aunt, English teacher has gone through the entire

    volume and sincerely done the language editing. But I made her a request not to

    make any change in the ideas or theme of any story in the name of content editing

    and so this volume presents a direct frank and honest imagination of a young writer

    in the forms of lovely stories. The illustrations are also sketched by the author

    herself.

    1. The Trip to Tanzen

    Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl called Isabella. She was an excellent

    dancer. At 4.00pm as usual she went to her dance class. She was very happy with

    her dancing skills. Then after some days on Isabella’s Birthday her best friend

    Anne gave her a bracelet. As soon as Isabella wore it clouds came over the sky,

    gust of wind started blowing and just then everything came to a standstill. Then

    once again a storm came and when they opened their eyes they were not in the

    dance class. They didn’t even knew where they were. Then two dwarfs came, held

    their hands and dragged Isabella and Anne saying, “how dare you come to the world

    of Tanzen without King Tuntim’s permission?” After that they took both of them to

    a cottage and locked them up. There were five other prisoners locked up in the

    cottage. They were looking very sad. Isabella and Anne asked, “What’s the matter

    and why have they locked us?” An old woman said “we all are sad because the old

    king has died and now his cruel son is ruling Tanzen and we can’t do anything without

    his permission.” Saying this her eyes filled with tears and it rolled down her cheeks.

    “Don’t cry mother”, a young man locked by her side said “I hope they will come soon

    and save our Tanzen.” “Who will come and save Tanzen?” asked Isabella. “Two

    graceful dancers will come and save Tanzen”, replied the man. But how? Asked

    Anne.

    The people living in Lula Bridge only know the answer saying this boy closed his eyes

    and went to sleep. All night Isabella and Anne talked and come to this decision that

    they must save the people of Tanzen from King Tuntim. The next morning they

    decided to start their journey but the question was how will they get out from the

    prison. Just then Anne remembered she had a laser stick using which they cut the

    rope which was tying their hands and legs. Then they took some sand and threw it

    in the guard’s eye. By the time he was rubbing his eyes they took his keys and

    opened the door. They ran so fast that the guards couldn’t catch them. They ran

    and ran until there was no sight of the guards. The roads of Tanzen seemed

    deserted but finally they caught sight of a young man. They asked him “Where is

    the Lula Bridge.”  He said nothing, but pointed to the left. The deserted place no

    more seemed deserted but everyone was running here and there. They went to a

    little girl and said “Is this the Lula Bridge?” “Yes,” she  replied. Then they met a

    group of people sobbing. So they asked what has happened. They said our brother

    is caught by King Tuntim just because he returned to Tanzen without asking.

    Isabella and Anne consoled them and said, “We will try to bring your brother back

    but first can you please tell us that how can we change the King’s behavior”. The

    oldest from them started, “It’s very difficult but if you want I will tell the answer”

    “Far away in the Dragon Cave there is a ball which a true dancer can only take, go

    but be careful: “But where is the Dragon Cave? “My Children, start your journey

    and you will find the clue, it can be anything. They walked and walked but found

    nothing. Then Isabella suddenly fell down a hole. She was covered with mud, Anne

    helped her get out. When she was out a large number of flowers grew around and

    suddenly a strange thing happened, all the mud disappeared in the wind and then

    white wings grew from her shoulders. Both girls were amazed. A note fell down on

    Anne’s head and it said, “The wings will help you fight the dragon so be careful.

    There may be dangers ahead so hide the wings by folding it. There was a map tied

    with it. It was the map leading to Dragon Cave. They followed the map and they

    arrived where it was written in a big letters ‘The Dragon Cave’. They went inside

    correct so the man gave them a handful of rainbow coloured sand and said ‘whatever

     you wish it will come true but it will only work once so think before you wish. “They

    went to the Lula Bridge and told about the journey. They were glad and both the

    friends quickly started to go to T intum’s castle. They walked until they reached the

    king’s castle. Both of them went inside at once and said ‘fight us if you can’. But he

    could not understand what is happening. So quickly Anne wished that the people of

    Tanzen once again become healthy and happy. Just then the King disappeared and

    everyone was happy once again. They gave both the friends a locket of gold. Just

    at that moment they were again at the spot from which they had left but they were

    not daydreaming because the lockets given by people of Tanzen were still in their

    neck.

    2.  The Paradise

    Clara was a five year old girl. She was sleeping but when she opened her eyes she

    was not sleeping in her bed but she was somewhere she didn’t know. So she got

    afraid and wished that the place was not so lonely. Just then a group of friends

    arrived. There were trees, animals and fresh air all around them she noticed there

    was something moving on the ground and there appeared a long white house with lots

    of windows and two very friendly looking fairies came out from the house and took

    them in. They discovered that each floor had different lovely and surprising things.

    On the first floor the room was made up of world’s tastiest chocolates and chairs

    were made up of yummy candies. All five ate to their stomach full. Then they went

    to the second floor and it was lovelier than the first one. It was filled with all kinds

    of toys, fluffy, hard, small, big and with a variety of colour. The fairies gave all five

    a basket and said “whichever toy you want, take”.

    They all were very happy and started collecting lots of toys in their baskets. They

    went to the third floor, it had all types of swings. Like this it went on. When their

    stomach was full, they had many things in their basket and they had enjoyed very

    much they came out of the house. Then they started to observe the place, at the

    very moment Clara’s friend Crystal fell down but she did not get hurt. They were

    13/44

     

    13

    surprised but before they could think, they were carried away by a large rabbit

    almost the size of an elephant. After sometime, two white wings started growing

    from the rabbit’s shoulder. They began flying and flew for hours.

    Then Clara wished that they could hear a story. Just then a beautiful fairy

    appeared with a story book and by the time she reached the end of the story all of

    them had fallen asleep. But when they opened their eyes their mothers’ were

    waking them up to get ready for school. They were sad but even if it was a dream

    they would never forget it.

    3.  Magical Locket

    Crystal had a very bad day. She was ill and missed her trip to the whale museum

    and she couldn’t do anything  too. To make her happy, her father bought her a

    locket with a chain. It was very beautiful; it was pink in colour with silver stars on

    it. It was morning and she was better but she still rested one more day. Next day

    she went to school. She had a good day. When she was returning to school with her

    friend Alice, they saw a turtle and picked it up. They were surprised that the

    turtle was able to talk, it said “among you all who is Crystal”? “Yes I am Crystal”

    answered Crystal. ‘Do you have the pink locket’ asked the turtle. ‘Yes’ she answered.

    You don’t know that I am the personal servant of Queen Bella and she had asked me

    to bring that locket but now you own it so you are our Queen.

    He told that he was taking the locket to the queen but he tripped and it went into a

    shop. Before he could take it from the shopkeeper he took it and sold it to your

    father. Then he took Crystal to a large building filled with frogs. Then he said ‘Can

     you see that button on your locket, if you press it, see what happens’. She pressedthe button and to her surprise all the ugly frogs turned into beautiful fairies. They

    15

    pointed her to a thrown and said “now you are the queen” but Crystal said I can’t be

     your queen, I want to go home, my parents must be waiting.” First, they all didn’t

    agree but then an old fairy said she might go back to her house but with a gift.

    Then she went to a box near her and brought a pair of wings. A little fairy was

    crying because she was not happy with this decision so Crystal promised her that

    she will come to them every Saturday. Crystal always kept the wings safely and

    keeps meeting the fairies. Just see around you may also get a talkative turtle and a

    magical locket.

    4.  Two Fairy Friends 

    Once there was a little fairy named Tulip and her friend Lily. They had nothing to

    do. They were very bored. Once they had an idea, they decided to move from

    fairyland and go to earth so they can do lots of interesting things. Now the

    question was how to go to earth? The next day when Tulip was having breakfast

     just then one of her loose milk tooth fell down. She took it to Lily and said “I have

    read that if you put your broken tooth under your pillow and sleep the following day

     your wish will come true.” That night Tulip wrote her wish and put her tooth under

    the pillow.

    The next morning Tulip found two microphones and a letter. It said “if you keep

    singing from half an hour without stopping something will happen that will help both

    of you”. So they did as told but it was very hard. Finally when they had finished

    both of the mikes became big, then small then again big. Then they stuck together

    and started to change their shape. It then turned into a plane but the fairies were

    surprised because they hadn’t seen such a thing before but Tulip found a letter and

    said “I think it will tell how can we make it move: then they started reading it, it

    was easy to understand because it was written in fairy language. It took an hour

  • 8/9/2019 akza stories1.pdf

    17/44

     

    17

    when finally they finished reading it. “But who will drive it”, asked Tulip. Finally Lily

    drove first. She drove it smoothly. After sometime they came to a rocky mountain

    and they saw a large, white rabbit, ten times bigger than them but when they were

    seeing it the rabbit ate their map which they had bought from fairy furry shop.

    When Tulip saw that she said “Oh, what have you done, now how can we go to earth”.

    The rabbit looked sorry and said “I am sorry but don’t worr y come to my house and

    we will find a solution so they went there. “Go in that pot and rest while I come up

    with a solution” he said

    Both of them went inside the pot and lay down. At that moment the rabbit suddenly

    came and closed the pot with a lid. The cute rabbit now looked cruel. He said “now

    lets eat some food and you are my food.” Tulip and Lily started to get scared but

    what could they do. Just then Tulip had an idea. She told Lily her plan. When the

    rabbit opened the lid to put vegetables Tulip said that put some salt too or your

    food will not be tasty and don’t forget to put noodles. The rabbit liked the idea.

    When he was adding salt and noodles Tulip and Lily quickly hold the salt and threw

    into his eyes. Then they used the noodles as a rope to come out (because they were

    giant noodles). They ran and ran until the rabbit was out of sight. Now how can they

    get the map they thought? They reached the place where their plane was and again

    flew their plane. They stopped at one place after some hours. Lily suddenly saw the

    same map in a shop and they bought it. So the problem was solved. They enjoyed

    very much on earth.

    5.  A Fairy Doll

    Once there was a girl named Mini. Her 5th  birthday was going to come but she

    didn’t  yet had her gift but then she saw a big beautiful doll with rainbow colored

    wings ,double the size of her in a supermarket and she loved it. She bought that as

    her birthday gift. At 12 O’clock a fairy appeared in Mini’s room and she woke her up

    and said “hello, I am Tinkle the tree fairy and on a child’s 5th birthday a leaf grows

    on my tree and its health depends on the child’s behavior. Each month the

    healthiest leaf which is grown by a child’s good behavior that child gets a wish. So I

    will come tomorrow at midnight, write your wish on a paper and put it under your

    pillow. She thought and thought and finally a thought came in her mind. Her wish

    was to make her doll alive. The next morning, suddenly a sound come of a girl saying,

    ‘please take me out of it, it’s very clumsy inside’. First Mini didn’t understood but

    then she realized that her doll was speaking. Mini took her out and asked how was

    she talking?

    The doll said ‘Do you remember your wish? Once I came to this planet to have a

    picnic, two people came and mistook me as a toy. Just because they don’t harm me,

  • 8/9/2019 akza stories1.pdf

    19/44

     

    19

    I acted as a toy. Then they put a cream on me to make me shine and that’s why I

    became hard and unable to move. But you helped me by making a wish .So you have

    been separated from your family?” “Yes but what can I do.” “I feel sad for you so

     you can go to your family forever.” “Really are you saying the truth?” Yes but if you

    take me for a trip to your place.” “I will be happy to do that”. They went at night.

    Mini sat on the doll’s back. Then after sometime suddenly very bright light shone

    and when it dimmed, there were flowers all around. Butterflies, fairies dazzled

    around. Mini and the doll met her family. They were very happy to see her family

    members.

    They also thanked Mini. They went out for a picnic and also to see the dog’s race.

    But after sometime, Mini had to go because it was going to be morning on Earth. So

    the doll’s sister dropped Mini back and returned. They lived happily ever after and

    the doll regularly came to meet Mini.

    6. A True Treasure

    An old farmer had three lazy idle sons. The farmer fell ill and called his sons to tell

    them about the hidden treasure in the field. After some days the farmer died.

    The sons ploughed the field but found no treasure. Even though they didn’t find

    the treasure, they keep on digging. It was their bad luck that they still didn’t find

    the treasure. That same day at night the three sons had a dream. In the dream

    their father was standing in front of them and he said ‘You sow seeds, it always

    grow nicely in well dug ground and remember to do hard work.

    One day you will find the true treasure.” Hearing this, his first son worked harder

    but the other two sons didn’t understand and they just wasted their time.

    Gradually the first son became rich because of his finest fruits and vegetables but

    the other two sons became poorer and poorer because their fruits and vegetables

    were not good. Then they understood that hard work is a true treasure. Don’t

    forget to do hard work or you will pay for it but if you do hard work you will

    definitely get good results.

    7.  Trip to Mars

    Early one morning, a man knocked at my door and said “I have won a free trip to

    Mars”. He was a weird looking man neither on a car nor on a bike, but on a

    spaceship. He didn’t look like human. He had green wrinkled, rough and hard looking

    skin. I couldn’t believe what he was saying, a trip to Mars? 

    But I still said yes. He told me to be ready at midnight. I was excited but I hardly

    believed him. At last, at midnight he came again and I went inside the spaceship.

    Suddenly I became very sleepy and when I got up there were green weird looking

    men and women everywhere. It’s Mars”, a man wearing a long gown said. Another

    man said “He is the king of king.” We have bought you here because a few days ago

     you helped a person ,that was me. I had gone to earth and was caught in a problem

    but you helped me. Thank you!” I want to give a gift to you said the king of kings.

    Then a fairy came and gave me a locket and said ‘Wear this locket and say, where

     you want to go. It will take you to that place in no time.” She also gave me a pair of

    wings. Then we had food and then suddenly my mother started calling me for lunch,

    then I realized I was so deserted in a book that I forgot I was just reading a

    storybook.

    8.  Clawy and Squeaky

    Once there was a cat named Clawy and a mouse named Squeaky. They were enemies.

    Daily Squeaky used to come and drink Clawy’s milk.

    Once both Clawy and Squeaky were sleeping. When they got up they were in a place

    with dry trees and a cold weather. In front of them stood a bunny and he said

    “Hello!” ‘we have bought you here because our queen Beauty is caught by a witch,

    Rosanna and only you can help us. I’ll be your guide’. They thought for a moment

    but then they agreed. They rested at night but woke up early morning. The

    rabbit’s name was Binki and he told them that they will start their journey from the

     yellow road and then will pass the dead forest. They started their journey and soon

    they met a goblin. He gave them a teddy bear and they took it. Then they came to

    the dead forest, full of dead trees and muddy pools. Suddenly Squeaky fell in one

    of the muddy pools. He kept on falling for hours and finally he reached the ground

    but there was no mud down. It was simply a normal ground without any mud. There

    Squeaky was alone, it was a deserted place. He walked a little and saw a plant. He

  • 8/9/2019 akza stories1.pdf

    23/44

     

    23

    bounced on it and the plant grabbed Squeaky so hard that it was even hard for him

    to breath. Then a women with a cone shaped hat and a blackish blue overcoat or it

    looked more like an ugly gown came. She had dark makeup in fact black make up.

    While Clawy and Binki were deep in thought that what would happen to Squeaky?

    The woman was a witch and she said that she would use Squeaky for her new spell.

    Though Clawy was Squeaky’s enemy but they had grown together and were best

    friends in childhood, therefore he got worried. Binki saw a button on the teddy

    bear. He tapped on it and the teddy bear showed Squeaky’s state. They had to

    save Squeaky’s life. They jumped in the mudpool and without fearing the plant or

    the witch. They went inside. As soon as they saw the witch putting poor Squeaky in

    the cauldron, Clawy jumped on the witch with full might and Squeaky fell from the

    witch’s hand to the cauldron. Clawy pinned the witch to the ground. She broke into

    pieces because of her fatal weakness, her elbows hit the ground hard. They were

    not strong like her other body parts. As soon as she died the cauldron disappeared.

    Slowly the area became green and it looked like heaven and the queen was now free.

    Actually the queen Beauty was the goblin but it had been cursed. Now Squeaky and

    Clawy became friends again. Squeaky was also sorry for drinking Clawy’s milk.

    9.  The Summer Camp

    It was Danny’s first day at his summer camp. His dad dropped him and Danny met

    his instructor, Jenny. They slept and woke up early morning. They fished where

    there were thousands of fishes swimming. There were fat, thin, small, and big

    fishes. There was a cave nearby but they were not allowed to go inside. They

    enjoyed the day very much. It had been a terrific day, but soon they had to sleep.

    There were stories that a family of ghosts lived in the cave. At midnight Danny’s

    best friend came and he said let’s go to the cave, it will be a lot of fun. Danny didn’t

    want to go but he was forced to go. There were sounds coming from the cave and

    as soon they entered the cave light shone on their faces. After sometime they saw

    five white figures, they became scared but the ghosts were also looking scared. So

    Rony, Danny’s friend said hello.

    Danny move a little in front but fell in a deep hole. Finally he landed the floor with

    a Dhummm!!! He balanced after sometime. Then a ball fell on his head and broke

    open. The letter inside it said ‘you will find a sword, it will help you’. Danny went

    forward and found a sword and took it. Suddenly a dragon came but before it couldattack Danny, he thrust the sword into its skin. It fell dead but shortly the dragon

    blasted bam ban bam ban! Then he found a pearl (inside the dragon when he

    blasted), it was a giant pearl. Soon Danny knew what to do with it because of

    another letter which said “Give the pearls to the ghosts’. Danny saw a button on the

    pearl and he pressed it. The moment he pressed it he was out of the hole. He gave

    the pearl to the ghosts and they immediately turned into humans. They thanked to

    both the boys because they had broken their curse.

    10. Fairy Land

    Once there was a girl Delphie. She had a wonderful life but one day her mother

    died. After some days, her father married again and Delphie’s step mother came.

    When Delphie was five years old, her mother had given her a locket which took her

    to fairy land. Whenever she felt sad she went there. She still had it. After a year

    of his marriage, Delphie’s father died. Then her step mother changed, she became

    worse. One day her step mother became so ruthless that she told Delphie to clean

    a whole three storeyed house. As days went by, Delphie’s life turned into hell. One

    day at night she was thinking that Fairy land was such an extra ordinary place. Just

    then, she twirled in the air, Fairy Dust covered

    her

    . She was going to fairy land. But how? She go there only when she wished. Never

    mind, she was quite excited. When she reached there, she found dead leaves

    everywhere. Though it was summer season it looked like winter. She went to her

    friend, Laila. She looked worried. Laila asked –“What has happened? Laila told

    Delphie that princes CC (Cruel Cella) had taken the sun of the summer season formagical light. We have to bring the summer back or the people will die. We will

  • 8/9/2019 akza stories1.pdf

    27/44

     

    27

    definitely succeed. She has a ball and she stores everything inside it and may be

    the sun too. But she always keeps it with herself by minimizing it and putting it in

    her lock without the sun rays, she can destroy the kingdom easily, we have three

    days time else fairy land will be destroyed. Cruel Cella will not win, I swear” said

    Delphie “but where is her castle?”  Laila told that her castle is far away in the cruel

    forest. “How can we reach there? Asked Delphie. We can reach there by a dudul

    rocket that we can find near the market. They went to the market and bought the

    dudul rocket. Princess Laila couldn’t come because of her other work. She told

    Delphie that when she would reach the cruel forest she would have to get out from

    the dudul rocket and climb the hills. The castle is on the hill. Delphie sat inside the

    dudul rocket and Laila gave her a mirror too which she would use as a mobile phone.

    Then the rocket flew high up in the sky and soon the rocket was just a small dot in

    the sky for Laila. Some hours later, the creepy and Scary Cruel Forest was seen by

    Delphie. After landing Delphie went out and hid the dudul rocket behind the

    bushes. She started climbing the mountain. It was difficult but by night she

    reached the tip of the mountain and saw a large, huge castle. But how would she get

    inside? Delphie was very clever so she went up and jumped from the chimney,

    luckily there was no one in the kitchen but the sound of Delphie falling down was

    heard by the witch. She came to see what had happened. Delphie quickly hid in one

    of the cupboards. She was breathless, hungry and tired. After some time CC went

    from the kitchen and Delphie came out. She couldn’t be like this, she had to do

    something. In the corner of the room was a large cupboard she opened it and saw

    CC’s Servant’s uniform. She wore it to hide herself and the best part was that

    there was a mask in the uniform. At midnight when CC slept, Delphie quietly crept

    inside and press her fingers on the locker. But the ball didn’t come out of it.

    Suddenly the phone (mirror) rang and CC woke up. Laila told that the news had

    come that CC has given the ball in which there was the sun to her brother CD (Cruel

    David).

    Meanwhile CC stood up and started running to catch Delphie. But Delphie ran at her

    full speed and climbed up the chimney to go out. She jumped in the rocket behind

    the bush and Vroom Vroom Zoom the rocket shot up. She stopped in the toadstool

    village and asked the brownies that did they know where was CD’s castle? But they

    didn’t know. So she went to the giants but even they didn’t know. Then she went to

    the cartoons, she fell on some flowers and the surface went down. It went deeper

    and deeper in the ground. When it stopped there came a man inside the

    underground room and on his cap was written CD. So he was CC’s brother. He tied

    Delphie on a wheel chair and went to the balcony. He didn’t tell his plan but it was

    written on his “To Do’s” list. He was going to use the sun to destroy Fairy Land

    Delphie couldn’t just sit down. The mirror Phone’s end was quite pointed and she

    managed to cut the rope with it. Then she walked to CD silently but tripped and CD

    fell down. This caused pressure on his belt and the ball came out from it. It burst

    on the ground and the sun brightened up in the sky. The trees became green, the

    birds chirped. The sun was out and therefore CC and CD were exposed to heat.

    They got burnt and died. Then Delphie went back to Laila. Laila said that if Delphie

    wished she could stay here forever, it would be fun. Delphie agreed and now she is

    the happiest girl ever.

    11. The Trip

    Mr. David turned the pages of his newspaper and saw that a new planet has been

    discovered but no one has gone there yet.

    The best part was that there was oxygen there. He thought that why shouldn’t

    they go. But they needed a rocket for that and it was easy because Mr. Lucifer, a

    scientist was Mr. David’s friend. Mr. David asked him for a rocket and Mr. David

    with his whole family went to sky. Phooey! Soon they were in the dark space with

    thousands of asteroids and stars around, Mrs. And Mr. David were the two pilots

    and were working hard to save themselves from asteroids. They were concentratingon the map but just then an asteroid hit their rocket. The back part of the rocket

    got damaged. Luckily the children were saved but the rocket was going up and down

    circling the sky and wand, then whoosh it landed on a planet. It was sizzling hot.

    They quickly went to the edge which was a little cooler but still hot. Rosa, Mr.

    David’s daughter suggested an idea to jump on a planet just below this planet or

    quite soon they will turn into ash. They held each other’s hand and jumped butDanny, Mr. David’s son fell down. Luckily he was saved by another planet and that

  • 8/9/2019 akza stories1.pdf

    30/44

     

    30

    planet was neither cold nor hot. The planet on which the rest of the family was

    there was freezing so they jumped again on the planet on which Danny was. They

    were having problems to breathe before but this planet was full of oxygen. It was

    the new planet. They climbed on the small hills of the planet. They played in the

    small mud pools. They enjoyed and enjoyed until they were so tired that they were

    not able to move. They slept and woke up late in the morning. They were hungry

    and thirsty. They wanted food, they wanted water, and they wanted to survive. Mr.

    David went to find food for his family. He had to walk a long way but finally he got

    many fruits which served them as water and food both. Now the question was how

    to go back. Then they started to find a way to go back and saw four dragons

    playing. They had wings Rosa went to them and asked that would they drop them

    back home. They were very friendly and readily agreed. They started flying and

    said that they were happy to give them a lift. They flew and flew as earth was

    quite far. Slowly the dragon’s wings became smaller and smaller. After sometime it

    was nothing more than a white dot. They told the family that they are having

    shortage of water and because of it our wings are becoming smaller. We can’t fly

    now or else they will be damaged. They were now hopping from one planet to other

    but what else could they do? Because of hopping so much they started to have

    swollen feet. They were limping. Then suddenly Rosa tripped and she didn’t

    remember that she had put a fruit in her bag which went up when she tripped. One

    of the dragons quickly held it and each dragon took a bite. Then Swoosh one of the

    dragons went down and made Rosa sit on its back and with Rosa came up again. The

    dragons saved Rosa’s life! Even though they are portrayed as ferocious animals they

    are quite helpful. Now their wings grow little larger and they again took off

    towards their destination. They flew fast but how much time could one bite of a

    fruit can help. Again slowly and slowly the wings grew smaller. Now how could they

    bring more water? They sat on a planet and thought but couldn’t get any way out.

    They were sad and weak. Suddenly all the sadness went away. Do you know why? It

  • 8/9/2019 akza stories1.pdf

    31/44

     

    31

    was raining. They danced in the rain. Their problems were over. They sang a song

    together which was

    Everyone hop, everyone sing

    Hop with us, sing with us

    Rain we love!

    Truly more than a dove!

    It saved our life. It was lovely, isn’t it? They just sang the Rocky rock music from

    Rock band. It’s amazing. After cheering and spending some happy moments, they

    once again flew and this time nothing bad happened. It was just perfect. When

    they arrived on Earth. Mr. David’s  family gave the dragons a treat with milk,

    cookies, noodles, cake, chicken, chips, fishes, honey, salad and much more. It was

    party to be remembered. The dragons went away after the party and do you know

    what were their names? Nor do I Oops! We forgot to ask their names. But don’t

    worry the way the world is changing, soon you will book a flight to mars or may be

    Venus and you can find the dragons in the space.

    12. Tulip

    Once, there was a boy who had a flower pot in which grew the lovely tulips. He took

    care of it very much. He daily watered it, and used to put it in the sunlight. He

    used to love it dearly. He was very fond of it. He had many other flower pots too in

    which there were roses, daisies, hibiscus, petunia, lotus, cactus, lilies, jasmines, nine

    o clock plant but he didn’t like any one of them as much as he liked the tulip. The

    other flowers were very said. They were so beautiful, everyone liked them but why

    didn’t their master liked them? 

    They were extremely beautiful. Their master was always busy with the tulip that

    he never got time for them. Gradually they became dull and their leaves lost its

    colour. Their lovely flowers were slowly dying and their master David didn’t mind.

    The tulips were alive which meant all to David. Even before the flowers were

    completely dead David took

    them from their roots and gave them to his cat, Jinki. They no more had life, they

    were dead. It was a sad moment but not for David. It was in fact a happy moment

    for David because after eating the flowers his cat was sleeping. Thus he was free

    which meant he would spend some time with tulip. It was a perfect evening for

  • 8/9/2019 akza stories1.pdf

    33/44

     

    33

    David. He soon had to go for supper but he didn’t want to be parted from the Tulips

    so he had his supper with it. It was a tasty supper for him and Jinki too. Then he

    went to sleep and there too he took the plant and when he got up the tulip had died

    because of no fresh air during the night. Do you know what he did with it? He

    didn’t give it to Tinki instead he put it in a heap of cotton and buried it in the soil.

    He had made a cemetery for the tulip plant! Oh my god! He had given other plants

    to Jinki and a cemetery for tulip. How he did this to other plants? He had to be

    taught a lesson. Once again, night came David slept and when he woke up he was in a

    farm full of veggies. He was afraid because how could he come so far while

    sleeping. It can’t be true, it was impossible. He had to find out where he was or

    else he could never go back. He got up determined to go back home and he started

    walking. He didn’t found the place was much friendly .A step forward, he felt even

    more scared. Suddenly he stepped into a garden full of flowers and he felt a lot

    better. In his heart a new hope had grown. Then he heard heavy footsteps. No,

    not like a person tapping, it felt like two huge trucks. They were not toy trucks but

    very huge trucks. He turned back but he could see nothing more than few plants.

    Amazing! The flowers just looked like David’s dead flowers but not tulip. He kept on

    walking and walking, but the garden didn’t end. He again and again heard the tapping

    sound but when he turned around everything was normal except one thing, every

    time he turned back the same plants were there just behind him. It was indeed a

    thing to be frightened of. He was sweating. His legs got bruised and paining. When

    he couldn’t tolerate any further he sat down under a tree and unbelievably the

    flowers were in front of him. Was his head spinning or had he gone mad? Just then

    the eight plants stuck together and turned into a huge plant. It then held him. They

    put him in a cage and told that they were the plants which he had given to his cat

    when they were half alive. They told him that they would kill him after an hour. He

    shouted and shouted. He was afraid and when he opened his eyes again he was in his

    bed, cuddled up nicely in his blanket. He ran outside to see his plants they were

    34/44

     

    34

    dying but still in their flower pot. After that he took great care of the other

    plants too and they all brightened up. It was now a beautiful collection of flowers

    and he did not do partiality now. Each flower was now equal for him. You should

    hurry up to see his collection. Rush!

    13. 21st Century’s Snow White 

    Once there was an ugly princess named Snow White. Her mother and father had

    died and her step mother was very kind and beautiful. Snow White had a magical

    mirror from whom she used to ask, who is the prettiest in the whole world? It

    always said  your step mother, your majesty”. Snow White’s jealousy got stronger

    and she ordered a soldier to kill her step mother and fetch her brain. The soldier

    didn’t want to do this but he was forced to do.

    So he took the Queen to the forest and tried to kill her but by her luck she

    escaped. While running she found a huge house, ten times the size of her palace.

    She knocked and went inside. She saw chairs which were so big that she couldn’t

    believe her eyes. She went inside and saw seven huge beds. She was feeling verytired and sleepy that she fell fast asleep. She didn’t know  that it was a giant’s

    house and when they came they heard the story and allowed her to live in their

    house. One day, Snow White came to know that the queen was alive and so she

    disguised herself as a child. She tried to make her eat a poisonous pear but

    mistakenly she fell down and the pear fell into her mouth. She fell asleep for her

    entire life. The queen lived happily ever after with the giants.

    14. The Handicapped Girl

    Once there was a girl named Jenny. She was very rich, pretty and kind but one

    thing was very sad about her. She was handicapped. She was always worried and

    sad about it. The other children teased her but. No one could compete her. She

    was a millionaire too. She tried to walk daily but she couldn’t. She wanted to run.

    She wanted to hop, she wanted to play but without legs she could do none of these.

    Daily she sighed about it why couldn’t she move, what had she done, what had made

    her handicap, why? Oh why, daily these questions went round and round inside her

    head. A night, a beautiful unicorn came, on which sat an angel. Three more baby

    unicorns were behind them.

    They had a pretty, little, blue horn on their foreheads and the big unicorn had a

    pink one. There white body shone in the darkness. Their blue eyes looked like lapis

    lazuli. Three unicorns picked Jenny up and made her sit on the big unicorn. Then

    they shot up high in the sky from the window and the angel explained Jenny that

    God wanted to have a private talk with her. She was shocked how could it be

    possible? Why would God want to talk to her? She felt dizzy. Is it possible? But

  • 8/9/2019 akza stories1.pdf

    37/44

     

    37

    before she could think of the answer, she became unconscious. When she came to

    her senses a large figure was standing in front of her. Oh my gosh! It was God.

    She asked why had he called her here? God said, “To tell you the right thing. You

    always think that why have I not given you proper legs?” then God asked Jenny to

    look at a screen. Then he showed Jenny some pictures of people. Some were poor,

    some had mental disability, some had physical disability and there were hundreds of

    sad pictures. Some were extremely heart breaking and others were not less than

    Jenny’s. God explained to her that everyone had different problems, there is no

    one who doesn’t have any problems. So we should never feel odd. Just remember

    that I am with everyone who is right. Jenny had now understood. Now she was not

    the old sad Jenny but a new one who was jolly and full of hope. Seeing the new

    Jenny everyone stopped teasing her and soon she had lots of friends who helped

    her and cheered her up. Today she is an awesome singer and an ideal for everyone

    who has a disability. Remember nobody is perfect.

    15. A True Friend

    We all have many friends but still we always feel that half of them are not true

    friends. Is it so easy to get true friends and the answer is a big no. In fact one

    true friend is better than hundred false friends. A true friend is the one who

    guides you, one who helps us when we are in need, someone who doesn’t only think

    for himself. Once, there were two girls, they were very pretty and rich. Everyone

    wanted to be their friend. Just because they were pretty or because they were

    rich. Both the twins had a best friend. The twin’s names were Jenny and Elizabeth.

    Jenny’s friend Clara was helpful kind and very nice to her while Elizabeth’s Noriika,

    was also good. She was pretty sure that she was a good friend but Norika never

    helped her. One day Elizabeth and Jenny were driving a cycle and with a thud they

    fell down. Their knees got under a tree, their legs were soaking with blood. Such a

    horrible site, but luck was with them and so their parents soon came and helped

    them to the house.

    They were placed on the beds but their legs were twitching and hurting. The whole

    system had gone upside down and it was paining. It felt like they were dying. What

    39/44

     

    39

    more can I say? It was a pain which couldn’t be expressed. At night it became a

    little better but when they woke up in the morning it was worse than before. Do

     you know why? Actually they had never saw anything like that. Wasn’t that weird

    and a little funny too? But in Their legs had turned purple from down, then came

     yellow and red after that stood pink and blue and in the last was black! reality it

    was quite a serious problem and most of all it was paining tremendously. Their legs

    had swollen and were looking almost a baby elephant’s leg. While their body looked

    thin and weak. Their legs were clumsy and they were feeling stiff. It was looking

    like they had stuffed their pajamas with cotton. Oh! My, so sad! It was a horrible

    site! Their parents were worried too. To have it cured they went to the doctor.

    The doctor was also confused. What was the problem? The first doctor fainted

    seeing it. Then the next doctor also didn’t understand what actually the cure was

    but after a tremendous amount of research he told that the disease was rainbonia.

    In it a certain part of our body swells and changes colour. After that it was quite a

    long process then the doctors were all researching to find the cure. The girls had

    to be there for a long time and were observed. No doctor was able to find the cure.

    The girls had a dangerous operation and that time Jenny’s friend Clara was always

    there to help. They even had surgeries. What a painful thing that was. It felt like

    someone had crushed their bones under the truck. They were given injections to

    make them sleep. As I said it was a long process and truly a period of pain. Their

    each day brought a new hope. Jenny’s best friend, Clara was always there to help

    her, support her while Elizabeth’s friend was nowhere to be seen. She was happy

    and busy in her own life without any sorrow for Elizabeth. Soon after lots of

    research a doctor named Andy discovered that there was no cure for this disease

    but still Clara always helped Jenny. Elizabeth was left alone because as soon as

    Norika saw Elizabeth’s state she left.

    16. Bumpy the Bunny in the Ball

    Once there was a pair of twins. One was a girls and other was a boy. They had cute

    names which were Ely and James. James was very naughty and a bad boy while on

    the other hand Ely was a hardworking and sincere child. Once the whole family went

    for a picnic, where they had heaps of fun. They played on lots of swings (on sea-

    saw, the most as it was their favourite). It was a lovely day for all of them until

    James ate all the lunch, do you know how much? Just have a look.

    1.  Chocolates

    2.  Rice balls

    3. 

    Meat sandwiches

    4.  Potato sandwiches

    5.  Cheese sandwiches

    6.  All the cookies

    7.  Cake

    8.  Wafers

    Gosh! He must have had a big belly. When Ely became angry, he pushed her in the

    lake. Ely managed to get out and with her came a little ball, stuck to her clothes.

    It was with Ely before James recognized it. James quickly but carefully picked up

    the ball and kept it in his pocket. When they arrived at home they freshened up

    and obviously James didn’t have his dinner. There were two reasons

    1.  He had eaten so much

    2. 

    He wanted to examine the ball.

    It was a bright, yellow ball with the loveliest blue spots but it was a very small, little

    ball (but the prettiest one he had ever seen). After examining it for an hour,

    James eyes dropped and he went to sleep. His hands were still on the ball. The boy

    was lazy too (he got up at 12.00 p.m. in the afternoon). He had to be always forced

    to get up daily. His daily routine goes like this.

    Doing naughty things

    6.  Sleeping

    What a time table! At the time of doing naughty things, he got a fantastic idea

    (fantastic, just for him) he could give that little ball to his sister on her birthday

    (which was tomorrow). Ely was very excited for the next day. In morning, each

    member of her family gave her gifts. Father gave her piano, while mother gave her

    a watch James gave a little ball. In afternoon Ely had a gorgeous party with her

    friends. They ate yummy things and played funny, exciting and lovely games. Her

    cake had the shape of a fairy. It was a party definitely to be remembered.

    Her best gift was her parent’s gift and worst was definitely the one her brother

    gave. The ball was pretty but it was a little old and very small. Night came and the

     joy was over. She observed the ball all night and when it was 2.00 a.m. Ely held it

    up. The ball broke open and from inside hopped a cute, little pinkish bunny. The

    rabbit suddenly said hello, which was indeed a shocking news. Before Ely fainted,

    rabbit told her that he had come from Rabbitatia. It is an area in the park which is

    magical and protected by a shield so that no human being can ’t  see it. One day my

    aunt called me to a party. As she is a pretty goldfish, she lives in water. I couldn’t

    exist in water so I went inside the water through a big small ball. I was just going

    to arrive at my lovely aunt’s place when you dropped and destroyed my trip. Oh! I

    am really sorry actually I never knew there is anything like this too. I am really

    ashamed and sorry because of what I did. If I had known then I would have surely

    left it and not let it come with me. How can I help you now? Please tell” The rabbit

    said that he will forgive Ely if she would put him back in the water from where he

    was taken. The very first thing in the morning she did was to take the bunny in the

    park. There bunny gave her a wish, a wish from which she could make things come

    true. She wished that she had a best brother in the world. Her wish totally

    changed David and thus today she has a lovely brother, James.
