Hello mommies out there,
its festive season, with the Elephant head God Ganesha visiting us for 10 days
and I am sure most of you are busy with the preparations. I look forward to
this festival a lot, yummy food to eat, some fantastic Mandap Decorations to
see in the locality and the various forms of Ganesha Idols, showering us his
blessings. I am already feeling excited, aren’t you?
After a little hectic day,
yesterday, as I went to sleep, my daughter came up with a story. My eyelids
were heavy and all I needed was some sleep. Stories were the last thing on my
mind. Here’s how the conversation went,
Samu: Mumma, ek story
you listen
AM: Na re, mumma tired,
tomorrow we will listen
Samu: But mumma, Samu
author this story
AM (with a surprised
look): What?
Samu: Yes mumma, I author
this story, you listen
AM (still surprised):
Ok, go ahead!
Sit back and enjoy the
story authored by a six year old….
“One day, Sara walk
home. She see a cat cry.
She ask cat, ‘What
happen?’
Cat say, ‘I alone, so I
cry.’ Sara take cat home. Sara dad see cat and ask, ‘Why you bring cat home?’
Sara say, ‘Little cat,
alone cat so cry, so I get home’
Dad say, ‘Ok, but you
take care of cat’
Sara say, ‘Yes Dad’
Evening Sara play with
cat in the ground. Sara run, cat catch. Sara throw ball, cat bring. Sara jump,
cat smile and say, ‘Meow..meow…meow..’
Sara come home and give
milk to cat. Sara drink bournvita. Sara mumma come from office. Sara mummy love
cat and play with cat. Sara pat cat to sleep night.
Now….the game start. The
cat get up and phone his friend cats. All cats come Sara house. They meeting
and discuss how to drink all milk. They open fridge, drink milk and eat cheese
and all food. All cat happy, but kitchen all dirty. Cats go back.
Morning, mummy get up,
shout at cat. Sara get up, feel bad for cat. Sara help mom, clean kitchen. Sara
don’t know cat is a Naughty Cat. Sara
go to school, mumma and dada to office.
Cat alone home. Cat call all cats and do masti. Watch TV play TAB, games on
Computer and eat all food. All cat dance on sofa and then tired sleep.
Sara come from school,
see cats sleep on sofa. Home all dirty, chocolate wrapper, chips and biscuits
all fall here there. Sara shout, cats get up.
Sara say, ‘I think you
cute cat, alone cat, sad cat, so I bring you home. But you are a Naughty cat,
dirty cat.’
Sara pick all cats and
put them on road. Sara come home and feel bad….cry …
But Sara teacher say,
help your parents. So Sara throw cat away, the Naughty Cat. It make home dirty.
Sara smile and go to play."
Part2 soon….Naughty cat
returns, she says.
Samu said, she wishes to
write stories for children and feed them in dolls, so that children can listen
to them and go to sleep. No isn’t that a wonderful idea?
She narrated the whole
story and I was completely astonished at the way she had crafted this one. I
wonder, how many beautiful stories she is gonna weave in future. With Samu
around, everyday is a new learning experience. As
a parent, I know this is just the beginning and there are many more milestones
that she will achieve in future.
I am sure, she is gonna have a hearty laugh reading this story, once she grows up.
Do leave a comment….and
let the author know, how much you loved the story of Naughty Cat.
And do share some of
your stories…eager to read them J
Ganpati Bappa Morya…!
Love and blessings,
AM
