Once upon a time, there was a man who lost all his money due to loss in his business. He was very depressed and decided to end his life. ''This is the last night of my life, tomorrow I will commit suicide'' he said to himself and went to sleep.
While he was asleep, he saw a dream that a monk came to him and said,"Don't end up your life. It is a sin. Tomorrow I'll visit your home, and you must hit on my head with a wooden stick, after that I'll change into gold and you will be rich again".
Next day in the morning, someone knocked at the door. The man opened the door thinking that the monk has come but it wasn't the monk, it was his neighbor. He let him come inside. "Knock..knock!" , somebody was again at the door. The man opened the door, oh! he couldn't believe his eyes.
It was the monk from his dream! The man hit on the monk's head with the stick and the miracle happened! The monk turned into gold. The man was extremely happy. His dream had come true. His neighbor saw it and was amazed! He tried to get the details of the whole incident from the man but he didn't tell him and instead replied, "You saw everything happen. It's a miracle".
The neighbor went to his home and said to himself, "Tomorrow I will invite many monks to my house and will hit them on their head and they will turn into gold. In this way I will become the richest person of the village". Next day he did the same. The monks were injured. They caught the man and informed the king about the incident.
King's soldiers came and took the man to the king. ''Why did you hit the monks ?''The king asked.
The man told the king,"I went to my neighbor's home and saw him hitting the monk who turned into gold. I just copied him. It is all his mistake".The king called the other man man and asked him to explain the whole matter. He told the king about his dream and the miracle. " You can go, it's not your fault". King allowed him to go.
Now the king said to the man who had injured the monks, " You are a foolish and greedy person. You just copied your neighbor without thinking and hurt the monks". He put the man behind the bars.

While Reema was sitting and having her snacks, she heard a voice,"Meow...meow...". Reema realized that some cat was there. She tried to find out where the voice was coming from. It was coming from outside the door, she told mommy about this. Mommy opened the door, oh there was really a cat in the passage. A cute, white and brown cat. She got a little scared to see new faces and sat in a corner. 
" Look mommy! How pretty she is!", Reema said in a happy tone. "She looks like a pet cat, maybe she is lost", mommy said. Mother phoned to the security. The security guard came and told them that it was a pet to the people who lived in this house before them. The cat's name is Snowy. "Oh poor kitty!", Reema felt pity for the cat. She called the cat by her name, "Snowy...Snowy!". The cat came near her. Reema picked the cat up in her arms. Mommy gave some milk to the cat and she drank it very fast, she was so hungry. Mommy saw the excitement and happiness of Reema after finding the cat. She said, "Isn't it a good idea to have Snowy as a pet cat in our home". "Really mommy? Can we do that?", an excited Reema asked. "Yes my child, we can do that. It will be good for Snowy as well as for you because you'll have a good company", said mommy.
