PEARLS OF DEW ( Poem)

                                               
 In early hours of morning,
 dew drops are shining.

 Look! they're on flowers,
  See! they're on grass.

When the sun will go high
 dew drops will fly.

If the wind will be lighter
 and night will be clear...

The tiny dew drops
 will again appear.

STORY OF MISSING DOLL

Bobby is very very upset today.His little baby sister's favorite doll is missing . She is crying for the doll.Mommy and Bobby searched for the doll here and there but could not find it .Bobby loves his sister

so much , he cannot see her crying . Bobby has a dog named Jojo, he came to Bobby and started pulling his shoelaces. Bobby shouted "Go Jojo don't bother me , I am not going to play with you,  go and try to find the doll".                                                                                       

Jojo did not stop . "Bobby maybe Jojo wants to tell you something,  maybe he has found the doll.", said mommy. Mommy and Bobby followed  Jojo. He went to the garden , stopped at one place, smelled the ground and started digging with his paws.                         

"Look Mommy!", Bobby cried, "There's the doll!". Jojo held the doll in his mouth. "Oh! Now I know", Mommy said to Bobby. "Yesterday when I was sowing seeds in the garden, baby was with me. You know babies have a habit to copy their elders, so she would have put the doll in this hole and would have covered it with soil. Dogs have a very good smelling power, they can search the things by smelling. So Jojo found the doll". 

"Jojo, you are a very good boy", Bobby pat on his back. "I am proud of you!", Mommy said to Jojo. She cleaned up the doll , changed it's clothes and gave it to the baby. Baby immediately stopped crying and became so happy to find her doll back.
Mommy gave Jojo his favorite food to eat. Jojo was also very happy.
"All is well , that ends well."

THE SUN SHAPED FLOWER : SUNFLOWER

My dear children, today I am going to tell you about a very beautiful flower which depicts the sun, the sunflower.

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a plant which is a native to Americas. It has a large flowering head(about 30cm wide) which has small flowers called florets and looks very beautiful. It is called Sunflower because it has a shape which depicts the sun. It's stem can grow up to a height of 3 meters.

Sunflower is the state flower of Kansas

and that's why Kansas is often called the Flower state. This flower needs a full sun for growth. They grow very well in wet and fertile soil. These flowers can be red, orange, yellow. The California Royal Sunflower is burgundy colored which is a mixture of red and purple.These flowers have great use in food industry also. These are roasted in ovens and are served as snacks. Sunflowers can be processed into peanut butter (also called Sunbutter)

It is even used in cooking and salads directly. They are used in medical ointments, dyes and body paints. It is also used as food for birds. Sunflower oil is extracted from it's seeds and used in cooking. 

I hope you liked this article.

Sun And Moon ( Poem)

                                                                         

                        The bright day is darkening,
                                 turning into evening,
                                 sun is fading away, 
                                 it's just a last ray,
                                 he ruled and shone, 
                                 with power of his own,
                                 night will come soon,
                                 it's  time for the moon,
                                 to win over the hearts,
                                 with army of stars,
                                 sun is king of light, 
                                 moon is queen of night.
