TWO LITTLE HANDS

Two little Hands
clap clap clap
Two little legs go
Two little eyes and nose
open wide!
one little head goes
Side to Side

THE CAPSELLER AND MONKEYS

One day a Capseller was taking rest under a tree. He fell asleep soon. He had a cap on his head. He kept the box of caps beside him. There were monkeys on the tree, they saw the capseller and the caps, they came down. They took out the caps and put them on their heads. When the capseller woke up, he found the caps were missing. When he looked up, he saw the monkeys had caps on their heads. The capseller had an idea. He knew that monkeys copied others. He took off his cap and threw it on the ground all the monkeys took off the cap and threw them on the ground the capseller took all the caps and went away.

A Foolish Rabbit

One day a rabbit was sleeping under one tree. Suddenly a stone fell on his head. He woke up and he thought that the sky is falling down. He started running and kept shouting "The sky is falling. The sky is falling. Run to save your lives."

Many animals and birds started running with the rabbit. The butterfly who is sitting next to the rabbit started laughing. And said "Hold on. Hold on my friends! Don't listen to the rabbit it was just a stone that fallen on his head."

Moral

Don't believe everything on what others say...until unless you see it.

WE SEE LEAVES

We see yellow,

we see leaves,

നിശബ്ദമായ ത്യാഗങ്ങൾ

ആനന്ദ എന്ന പത്താം ക്ലാസ് വിദ്യാർത്ഥി ഏറെ തിരക്കിലായിരുന്നു സ്‌കൂൾ, ട്യൂഷൻ, മൊബൈൻ ഫോണിലെ റീൽസ്, അവനിക്ക് വീട്ടിലുണ്ടായിരുന്ന വസ്‌തുക്കളെയും ആൾക്കാരെയും പോലും ശ്രദ്ധിക്കാൻ സമയമില്ലായിരുന്നു.

അവൻ്റെ അച്ഛൻ രാവിലെ ആദ്യം പുറപ്പെടും. അമ്മ മുഴുവൻ സമയവും അടുക്കളയിലും വീട്ടുജോലികളിലും ഓടിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കും. ഒരു ദിവസം ക്ലാസിൽ ടീച്ചർ ചോദിച്ചു: "നിങ്ങളെ പ്രചോദിപ്പിച്ച ഒരാളിനെക്കുറിച്ച് ഒരു ലേഖനം എഴുതുക" ആനന്ദ് ആലോചിച്ചു ക്രിക്കറ്റ് താരങ്ങൾ, സിനിമാ ആക്ടർമാർ, യൂട്യൂബർമാർ ആരും അതിന് ചേരാത്തവരായി അവന് തോന്നി.

അവൻ വീട്ടിൽ പേനയ്ക്ക് തിരയുമ്പോൾ, കിടക്കയുടെ താഴെ പഴയ ഡയറി കണ്ടു. അച്ഛന്റേതാണത്. ഉത്സാഹത്തോടെ തിരിച്ചു നോക്കിയപ്പോൾ ഒരു വരി അവൻറെ കണ്ണിൽ പതിഞ്ഞു. "ഇന്ന് ആനന്ദിന് പുതിയ ബാഗ് വാങ്ങി അന്നത്തെ ഊൺ വിട്ടു, പക്ഷേ അവൻറെ ചിരി എല്ലാക

ത്തിനും പരിഹാരമായി." ഓരോ പേജിലും ചെറിയ ചെറിയ ത്യാഗങ്ങളാണ്. അന്നമൊഴിഞ്ഞ ദിവസം, ജോലിക്ക് കാൽനടയായി പോയ ദിവസം, പുതിയ ഷർട്ട് വാങ്ങാതെ പഠനസാധനങ്ങൾ വാങ്ങിയ ദിവസം.. ആനന്ദിൻ്റെ ഉള്ളിൽ കാഴ്‌ചകൾ തുളച്ചുക്കയറി. അടുത്ത ദിവസം രാവിലെ അമ്മ വെറുതെ നിൽക്കുന്ന അവനെ നോക്കി, "കൊഴുപ്പില്ലാത്ത പയറു കറി തന്നെ... കുഴപ്പമില്ലേ എന്ന് ചോദിച്ചു. അമ്മ തളർച്ചയുള്ള കണ്ണുകളാൽ, അ

കൈയിൽ ചോറ്റുപാത്രവുമായി കൊണ്ട് നിന്നു. അന്ന് ആനന്ദ എഴുതിയ ലേഖനം ഇങ്ങനെ “എൻറെ ഹീറോകൾ എന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ തന്നെ ജീവിക്കുന്നു. അവർ പ്രശസ‌തല്ല. പക്ഷേഅവരുടെ നിശബ്ദത്യാഗങ്ങളാണ് എനിക്ക് സ്വപ്നം കാണാൻ കഴിയുന്നത്. "

ബാഹ്യലോകത്ത് മോഡലുകളെ അന്വേഷിക്കേണ്ട, ചിലപ്പോൾ നമ്മുടെയേറ്റവും വലിയ പ്രചോദനങ്ങൾ നമ്മുടെ വീട്ടിൽ തന്നെ ആണ്- കഷ്ടപ്പാടുകള്‍ പറയാതെ സ്നേഹം മാത്രം തരുന്ന രക്ഷിതാക്കൾ

A LITTLE HEN

A little hen had some eggs.

The little hen was always watching over them and making sure they were safe, one day the eggs hatched and all of the baby chicks were ready to come out.

The little hen was so happy to see her chicks for the first time.

THE PORPHYROPHILE

She walks in hues of twilight skies,

Where violet dreams and silence rise.

A soul that drapes in royal light,

In purple shades both bold and bright.

From lilac dawns to amethyst seas,

She finds her calm, her sweetest peace.

Not red with rage, nor blue with cold—

But purple's grace, serene and bold.

She sees the world in lavender tones,

In secret paths the heart well knows.

A porphyrophile, with quiet pride,

With purple magic as her guide.

At the age of 19, he left university because he said it was boring and not going to help him reach his dream. All he wanted was to race - but his parents didn't agree; they told him to focus on a job and said racing is useless. And he played that game over and over and improved his skills.

Around the same time, something unexpected happened: a collaboration between Gran Turismo and Nissan Motorsports called GT Academy. It promised to take the best Gran Turismo players in the world and turn them into real race car drivers. Out of best 90,000 competitors, he was selected as the top 12, giving him a once in a lifetime opportunity to enter the world of real racing. He trained harder than ever, proved himself, and was chosen as the best driver in the academy. He earned a seat with team Nissan and started racing in the real world in the NISSAN GT-R R35.

The 24 hours of Le Mans. Jann teamed up with other 2 races and became the youngest racer to win Le Mans 24 hours.
