Once upon a time a tribal king who was a very big dealer of birds too, went to jungle in search of birds.There he caught two parrots and some other birds. When he was returning  home, he stopped for taking some rest and lied down under a tree. While the king was resting , one of the two parrots escaped from the net.

The king  got up  and found that one parrot was missing but what he could do now .He took the other birds with him and went home. Tribal king kept the second parrot as a pet in his house . The Tribal king was a kind of person who talked  rudely  and always used harsh words whenever he spoke to others . He also used the bad language and he taught the same way of talking to his parrot. The parrot learnt the language of  king.

The first parrot who escaped , reached to a hermit's place and the hermit kept it with him .The hermit taught him to speak politely and to use good language while speaking.The parrot learnt to speak like that.

   One day a  king of neighboring state passed by near the tribal king's house. The pet parrot of that tribal king  looked him coming and shouted in such a harsh voice " How dare you to come here.... 

come on soldiers , beat him like a donkey." 

The king was shocked to hear that and he immediately left that place.

Now that king reached near the hermit's place and the hermit's parrot greeted him," Oh , It's so nice to have you here sir,please come inside."  

   The king was so happy at his welcome, he praised the hermit and the parrot and became their friend.

'' VENUS FLYTRAP''

Oh ! no ,no my dear children, don't get confused by the above illustration. That lady does not trap insects, I am talking about a beautiful plant that traps insects. That plant is called "VENUS FLYTRAP ".  It looks so attractive that's why it is named after Goddess of love, Venus. The flower-shaped leaves attract 
the insects and spiders towards the plant.
                                          

                                                         
The open red and green leaves smell sweet and have stiff hair on edges ,when an insect touches a hair and  after touching it , if it touches a different hair within 20 seconds ,the plant shuts it's leaf and the insect is trapped.
                                          

                                  


Venus flytrap catches the insects like moths, flies, grasshoppers, ants,worms and beetles. When it traps the insect with the help of it's leaves, it produces a liquid to digest the food.It takes the nitrogen from the body of  the insect and consumes it .  

                                                                                                   

  Venus flytrap was first found in  "North America " . Now the plant is grown in all parts of the world in pots and is kept as ornamental   plant .   Hope you will like the information about this unusual plant.                                                                                         - Aunt Mary
                                                                     


                                                                                                         
   

                                              

Nothing is Immortal (Short Story)

                                            

                      
The beautiful garden was full of flowers .Flowers in full blossom were a pleasure for eye and soul. The sweet smell of those lovely flowers was a treat for the sense of smell. It was a beautiful day of mid of November . The sun was in a good mood ,he allowed the golden sun rays to spread everywhere. The charming season of winter with such pleasant weather was a delight for all.
A rose in full bloom opened it's eyes and looked around , " Ah! What a lovely morning!"  She again looked around," No one is as beautiful as me ", she thought proudly. "Look at those flowers, there is no comparison. I am the prettiest of all!"  
                         
                         

 Suddenly her eyes caught a glance of a withered flower which was bending down towards the earth and was breathing it's last breath. " Ha ha! Look at you", the young rose said to the dying flower. " How old and ugly you are. You are worthless! Good for nothing! And look at me I'm full of life, beauty and freshness. You are ruining the beauty of this garden. This place is not for you. You should be thrown in a waste bin!"  A weak smile appeared on the wrinkled face of that old dying flower. It was smiling at the innocence of that young rose.

                                                                                         

The owners of the garden came to collect the old flowers and leaves and they took away the withered rose with them. They threw the garden garbage in the waste bin. " I was right!", The young rose thought proudly.

Time doesn't stop for anyone. Two days passed, the young proud rose was in the same condition , it was bending down towards the earth and was breathing it's last breath.  A rose in full bloom looked at it and said, " Look at you....................".

"TEAMWORK" (Poem)

                     One little ant in such a good mood,                      
                     Came outside to search for the food,                

                      She had to get some food to store,
                      Got a little bit and wanted some more,


                      Little ant found a big piece of bread,  
                      Tried so hard to push it by head,                                                            
                      But she left it in the mid way,      
                      Poor thing turned back and ran away,


                      Little ant could not make it up?
                      Did she lose it and gave up ?


                     Oh no! she is back with a bang,

                     Look ! She comes with big ants'gang,                                                 
                     Task that  looked so hard and tricky,                                                               Effort and teamwork made it easy.

SMILE FOR YOURSELF AND FOR OTHERS!

What does a photographer say to us when we are getting ready to 
 get clicked by the camera? "Smile please " and we try to give our best smile , why ? Because smiling is the most beautiful expression of our face, it increases our face value and gives our face a positive look and who doesn't want to look good in a photograph , right ?
                               

So when we can smile for a better photograph why can't we smile to make our life beautiful. A smile improves your outer look and it also presents you as a person with a positive attitude in front of others and that helps you a lot in today's stressful life.Every one loves to see a person with a gentle smile on his or her face .
                                 

Besides this, smile can do wonders from the health point of view.It reduces our stress, it stretches our muscles and expands our lungs. It also helps us to release our suppressed emotions and feelings and it lightens up our mood. Smiling slowdowns our heart rate and we feel calm and relax.           
                                        

  We should smile a lot but keep one thing in mind that we are not hurting anyone by our smile and we should avoid smiling on any sad occasion! So my dear friends smile for making yourself healthy and happy and smile to bring cheerfulness and positivity around you.
