The Global Edgers- are not just observers!

Surabhi of class VI-B observed that the street

lights in the vicinity of her house remained

on even during the day time. She couldn't

help reacting to this wastage of power.

She wrote a letter to the Commissioner of

GHMC and brought it to his notice. She

received a reply from the commissioner,

thanking her for being vigilant and bringing

it to his notice. He further promised that the

department would be careful.

We need such vigilant people in the society.

They can only bring about the much needed

change in the system.

The richness of character of

a Global Edger !

Abu Bakhar of grade VIII had put up a stall

at the Dandiya Night fete. He did some good

business there and over his expenses he made

a profit of 1315 rupees.

He decided to donate that amount to RDF

to educate the underprivileged children.

Abu Bakhar's generosity is exemplary. He

has made the whole Global Edge Family

proud!!

What could be better than spending a cool

September day than strolling among flowering

Once upon a time there was a beautiful village in Northern

part of India. There was a very good and beautiful king’s

statue in the middle of the town. The King was holding a jug

and watering the plants which were below on the statue. One

day a cruel mouse came to the village name was Enko. He

was very bad and also by doing wrong things he made

everyone scared. One day he was walking on the road he saw

a cloth lying on the road, he stand there for some time and

saw that no one was picking up that cloth. After seeing cloth

he told himself, ”let me pick it up, it may come in use for

me”. After picking up the cloth he found that that the cloth

was very dirty and there were many tyre marks on it. He was

about to throw it but he stopped and thought, “what if I can

use it to make something”. After lot of thinking he decided

that he make a cap. Then he goes to the dry cleaner to wash

the dirty.

The dry cleaner replied,” if I won’t do it for you what will you

do to me small mouse” After listing to shopkeeper he started

laughing” Ha ha ha!” And said to shopkeeper that” I will

come in midnight with 4 king soldiers they will hit you and

lock you in the jail and I will eat up all your clothes and

everything that comes in my way.” Shopkeeper got scared and

said,” please leave me I will clean your cloth and it will look

like a new and unused cloth.”

I will take only five minutes to complete this

work. After completing his dry cleaning, dryer

handed over the cloth to mouse and mouse said

to shopkeeper that I am impressed by your work,

then shopkeeper was thinking about asking the

money but he stopped because he knew that if he

would ask the money then mouse may get

angered and may destroy all his cloths.

After getting the cloth from drycleaner he went

to the tailor and asked him to stich the cloth into

a beautiful cap which can be fit on his head.

Tailor replied, “I will not do you work and go

from here silly small mouse. I am not mad to do

your work, you are so small and want a cap

which you can wear, go I will never stitch your

cap, what you will do small silly mouse.” Mouse

started laughing” ha ha ha ha” and told to tailor

“I will come in midnight with 4 soldiers they will

hit you and lock you in the jail and I will eat up

all your clothes and destroy them”. After that

tailor got worried and said sorry to mouse and

told him I will do whatever you want and he

stitched a beautiful cap for him.After taking Cap

from tailor he went to Dyeing shop to dye the

Cap with beautiful color, he told to dyer man to

dye the cap with many colors, Dyer ask him what

color he needs, I would like to give very

beautiful color to my cap , could you please give

the catalogue so I can

choose the best color, dryer Mouse told him that

you are a nice person and not arguing with me like

tailor & dry cleaner, replied sure let me search for

it in my store room.Mouse said ok I will wait for

you to come back. After some time Dryer came

with the catalogue and handed over to mouse,

mouse selected the color and told the dyer man that

my color is on page #2 with code A390EED9,

please make sure to color it properly. Dyer man

told Mouse sure I will make your Cap ready by

tomorrow, please come back and collect it from

here tomorrow.

Mouse said ok and left the shop. On the way to

home, mouse started thinking how my cap will

looks when it will ready and how color will come

on it. By the time he reaches home it was too dark,

so he slept.Next day morning he went to dyer shop

to collect his cap and what he found that shop is

still close, he was getting angry. Then he saw the

board where it was written the shop timing is

10AM to 11PM, and now it’s only 8AM, so he

thought let me go back to home and finish my bath

and take something to eat by that time shop will

also open.When watch ring 10AM, he ran toward

the dyer shop and asked dyer to give the cap,

shopkeeper told him that your cap is ready and let

search it in my bag, he found his cap and handed

over to mouse and told him if you are not satisfy

with this, then I will apply the color again on your

cap.

After looking the cap mouse was so amazed and

told the shopkeeper you have done a wonderful

job and my cap looks so good. “Thank you” for

your good work. He asked the shopkeeper about

the bill for dying the cap and shopkeeper told Rs

100, mouse gave him the Rs 200 for this good

work.

After getting the cap from dying shop he went to

decorative shop to decorate the cap. After

entering to the shop he asked shopkeeper to

decorate his cap with some shiny stars and

colorful flower also do not forgot to make a little

mouse king at the center of the cap.

The shopkeeper replied,” why should I do your

work am I your servant.” Mouse got angered and

told him “I will come back with 4 king soldier

they will hit you and locked you in a jail, I also

cut all your clothes and destroy them,”

Shopkeeper got worried and said sorry to mouse.

Then he asked him to give the cap to him so he

can make it beautiful with stars and flowers.

After decoration shopkeeper handed over the cap

to mouse, mouse said thanks for his work and

gave Rs 25 to him.

His cap now looks one of the best caps in the

world. He was so proud to be the owner of this

cap.

After getting his cap he thought to go the

King’s palace and show his cap .After

meeting the king he told ,” my Cap is better

than your cap, your cap is not a worth of Rs

5, see my cap this is the best cap in the

world.” The King got angry and asked his

soldiers to catch the mouse and take his cap.

Mouse replied to king,” you are very poor

that’s why you are trying to take my cap

forcefully.” Then king ordered soldiers to

give back the cap to mouse. Mouse told to

king, ”you scared of me that’s why you

returned my cap” and ran away very fast

from king’s palace. On reaching on the road,

he sang a song, ”My cap is beautiful”.
