Today I am sharing some facts about this lovely tasty sweet . I hope you will like them and share them with your friends , like you share the chocolates with them :)
Chocolate is made from the seed of "Theobroma Cacao" tree .

                                               image source- en.wikipedia.org
The Cacao has been cultivated in 'Mexico', 'Central America' and 'Northern South America'.The seeds of Cacao have a bitter taste and need to be  fermented to get the flavor.  Once the seeds are fermented,they are dried,cleaned and roasted.The shell is removed to get the chocolate nibs.

                                          image source-publicdomainpictures.net
These nibs are ground to cocoa mass, which is rough form of chocolate. The rough chocolate needs to be liquefied . The liquid is called chocolate liquor.This liquid is molded to form the chocolate.

The benefits of eating chocolate are that it reduces the risk of cancer , lowers blood pressure and prevents coughing and heart diseases. 

Harms of chocolate are that it may cause obesity, headache,acne and tooth decay. 
So my dear children eat chocolate, but in moderation.As we all know excess of everything is bad .

I FEEL GOOD ( poem )

I feel happy and I feel good, 
I feel lucky and I feel good .

I feel good when granny sings a song,                         
I  love the song and I sing along.        

I feel good when teacher gives me "A",     
And claps for me... hip, hip hurray.....                    

I feel good when my baby sis,                   
Smiles at me and gives me flying kiss.                                                
I Feel good when my dear mommy,
Hugs me and says" my little baby".                                    

I feel happy and I feel good ,
I feel lucky and blessed, touch wood.

An Honest Friend Is a Good Friend

"Oh my God how lovely you are looking  in this dress , pink color suits you so well" . A girl says to her friend . "Ah! look at you , you are looking like a rock star in your new hair cut' . A boy compliments his friend ." Your maths project is cool boss , you will sure get ten on ten on the chart", A friend tells to another.   But do they really mean it ? Are that boy and girl actually looking so good? Is the math project good enough to get perfect ten ?  Or their friends are saying this" just to please them" ?               

Now look at the other side of picture." Your pink dress is  o.k but I think an orange colored dress will suit you more", a girl  says to her friend. "I am sorry bro but your old hair style was better than this hair cut ", a boy said to his closest friend . "Your maths project is nice but not good enough to get ten on ten ,you should add some more solved sums to it" . A friend gives advice to his friend ."Honest and frank opinions". 

So what kind of friends will you prefer ? A friend who tells you every thing about you frankly and honestly or a friend who always praises you just to make you happy?'Think about it ".

                                           A poem by famous Persian poet "SAADI"
                                                 

                                            I am displeased with the company of friends ,

                                            To whom my bad qualities appear to be good,

                                            They fancy my faults are virtues and perfection,

                                            My thorns they believe to be rose and jasmine,

                                             Say where is the bold and quick enemy,

                                            To make me aware of my defects?

The Right Move ( Short Story)

                                      
People called him "Thin Lee". The reason for calling him with that name was that he was a skinny boy who knew some basic rules of Judo and considered himself as the" Next Bruce Lee". He had a big misunderstanding  about him that he was"Master of Judo" and every one is so impressed by this skill of him and nobody will dare to take the fight with him . No one cleared his misunderstanding because they didn't want to loose the chance of laughing at him behind his back . Everyone joked about him and enjoyed talking about him. 

One day some  kids told Thin Lee , "Bro ,a new boy has come to live in our colony and we told him about you that how good you are in judo and how brave you are, and the  boy said bad things  about you and challenged us that he can beat you".(Obviously they were lying, just to have fun )
 Thin Lee said "Let me see him, where is that coward who speaks behind my back"  Without thinking for a second that the kids were actually provoking him for fight.The naughty kids told him that the boy is in the playing field..Thin Lee went to the field followed by those kids . 
                                                                 

'Look! there he is  !One kid whispered in Lee's ear. And what Thin Lee saw was beyond his imagination, the boy was as big and strong as a little "SUMO."Thin Lee at once forgot all  about  his so called  Judo skills and got too scared . "Yes what do you want ?" The big boy asked Thin Lee ." Oh just nothing, I heard a lot about you and just wanted to meet you . "Thin Lee put his hand forward to shake hands with big boy. While he was doing this he heard  the giggling sound coming from back, he turned back and saw the kids who provoked him were laughing . 
From that day Thin Lee stopped to show off  because he realized the reality that how people fooled him because of that.Good for Thin Lee.                                                                                        -Aunt Mary
