Childhood Favorite Game

Childhood is a time filled with laughter, fun, and games.
Among all the games I played as a child, my favorite was Hide and Seek. This game is simple yet full of excitement. It can be played with two or more players, and no special tools are required.
The rules are easy: one player becomes the seeker while others hide. The seeker closes their eyes and counts to a set number, like 20 or 50. Meanwhile, the other players find the best hiding spots. Once the seeker finishes counting, they start searching for everyone.
The fun lies in both hiding and seeking. I loved squeezing into tiny spaces and trying not to laugh while the seeker looked for me. When it was my turn to seek, I enjoyed the thrill of finding my friends.
Playing Hide and Seek taught me valuable skills like observing details and thinking quickly. It also helped me bond with my friends and siblings. We often played in the backyard, making wonderful memories together.
Even today, thinking about Hide and Seek fills my heart with joy. It reminds me of the carefree and happy days of childhood

Controlling Anger

Once, there was a young boy. This boy had problems controlling his anger. When he got angry, he would say the first thing that came to mind, even if it affected people.
One day, his father gifted him a hammer and a bundle of nails, then said, "Whenever you get mad, hammer a nail into the backyard fence."
In the first days, the boy used up half of the nails. Over the next weeks, he used up fewer nails, until his temper was under control. Then, his father asked the young boy to remove a nail for each day he didn't lose his temper.
On the day when the boy removed his last nail, his father told him, "You have done good, boy. But, can you see the holes in the wall? The fence is never going to be the same. Likewise, when you say mean things in anger, you'll leave a scar."

भाई-बहन का प्यार

दो छोटे भाई-बहन घूमते-घूमते जंगल में भटक गए। जंगल से निकलने के लिए वे बहुत देर तक रास्ता ढूँढ़ते रहे, किन्तु उन्हें कोई रास्ता न दिखा। भाई को बहुत प्यास लगी थी। इसलिए जब उसे एक ठंडे पानी का सोता दिखाई दिया तो वह उस ओर पानी पीने बढ़ा और बहन से बोला, "मैं पानी पीने जा रहा हूँ। बड़े ज़ोर की प्यास लगी है।"
"नहीं-नहीं, यहाँ का पानी मत पियो," बहन चिल्ला पड़ी, "यहाँ एक भालू ने पानी पिया था। अगर तुम यहाँ का पानी पियोगे तो तुम भी भालू बन जाओगे। वे दोनों फिर वहाँ से चल दिए। चलते-चलते रास्ते में दूसरा सोता दिखाई दिया। त्तब उसका प्यासा भाई फिर रुक गया और अपनी बहन से बोला, "मैं बहुत प्यासा हूँ, अब तो मुझे पानी पीने दो। लेकिन उसकी बहन फिर चिल्लाकर बोली, "तुम्हें यहाँ का पानी नहीं पीना चाहिए। इस झरने में भेड़िये ने पानी पिया था और अगर तुमने यहाँ का पानी पिया तो तुम भी भेड़िया बन जाओगे। फिर तुम्हारे बिना मैं क्या करूँगी?"

मुस्कराती बिल्ली

एलिस एक विचित्र सफेद खरगोश का पीछा कर रही थी। सफेद खरगोश ने एक बास्कट पहन रखा था और उसके हाथ में एक घड़ी थी। वह अपने आपसे बातें करता हुआ जा रहा था। उसका पीछा करते-करते एलिस एक गड्ढे में गिर गई। गड्‌ढे के भीतर की दुनिया अत्यंत विचित्र थी। एलिस सफेद खरगोश को ढूंढ़ने लगी। छोटी-बड़ी होने के दौरान एलिस को वहां एक रानी दिखाई दी, जिसका बच्चा सूअर में बदल गया। यह देख भयभीत एलिस वहां से भाग खड़ी हुई।
भागते-भागते एलिस को पेड़ की डाल पर बैठी एक बिल्ली दिखाई दी, जो मुस्करा रही थी। बिल्ली के पंजों और दांतों को देखकर वह मन-ही-मन में बहुत घबरा उठी।
एलिस ने बिल्ली से पूछा, "क्या तुम मुझे बता सकती हो कि मैं किस रास्ते से जाऊं?"
"मैं बता तो सकती हूं, लेकिन तुम कहां जाना चाहती हो?" बिल्ली ने हैरत से पूछा।
"कहीं भी।" एलिस बोली।
"तब तुम किसी भी रास्ते से जा सकती हो।" बिल्ली ने तुरंत जवाब दिया।

THE CROW AND THE FOX

Mr Crow sat at his ease high in a tree, a good bit of cheese safe and secure in his beak.
Mr Fox scented the cheese, took a peek, and called out to say, "Good morning, what a lovely day.
My goodness, how your feathers gleam, I'm so impressed, you are a dream, the finest flier of the wood, shining as a Phoenix should.
Should your song match, you are a god!"
Carried away, the crow, all too keen to show the beauty of his voice, raised his crop, opened his mouth, let the cheese drop.

THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF

There was once a young shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest.
It was rather lonely for him all day, so he made a plan to get a little company and some excitement. He rushed down toward the village calling out "Wolf, Wolf," and the villagers came out to meet him, and some of them stopped with him for a considerable time.
This pleased the boy so much that a few days after he tried the same trick, and again the villagers came to his help.
But shortly after this a wolf actually did come out from the forest, and began to chase the sheep, and the boy of course cried out "Wolf, Wolf," even louder than before.
But this time the villagers, who had been fooled twice before, thought the boy was tricking them again, and nobody came to help him.
When the boy ran back to his flock, he found half of the sheep had been killed by the wolf.

Moral - A person who lies will not be believed, even when they speak the truth.

THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING

A certain Wolf could not get enough to eat because of the watchfulness of the Shepherds. But one night he found a sheep skin that had been cast aside and forgotten. The next day, dressed in the skin, the Wolf strolled into the pasture⚫
with the Sheep. Soon a little Lamb was following him about and was quickly led away to slaughter.
That evening the Wolf entered the fold with the flock. But it happened that the Shepherd took a fancy for mutton broth that very evening, evening, and, and, picking up a knife, went to the fold. There the first he laid hands on and killed was the Wolf.

MORAL: The evil doer often comes to harm through his own deceit.
