बातूनी कछुआ ( The Talkative Turtle)

एक समय की बात है, एक तालाब के किनारे एक कछुआ और दो हंस रहते थे। कछुआ तालाब में रहता था। उसकी हंसों के साथ दोस्ती हो गयी थी, जो उससे मिलने हमेशा तालाब तक आते रहते थे। सब बहुत ख़ुशी ख़ुशी मिलजुल कर रहते थे।

एक साल वहां आकाल पड़ा। बहुत दिनों तक बारिश नहीं हुई। सब खेत खलिहान, तालाब सुख गए। पानी का एक बूँद भी नहीं बचा, किसीके पीने के लिए। सारे जानवर पानी के आभाव और तेज़ गर्मी की वजह से मरने लगे। तब बहुत सारे जानवरों ने दूसरी जगह जाना तय किया, जहाँ पर पानी भी हो और खेत-खलिहान हरे-भरे हों।

तीनों दोस्त, कछुआ और हंसों ने भी उस तालाब को छोड़ कर कहीं और जाने का फ़ैसला किया, जहाँ बहुत पानी हो, और वहीँ हमेशा के लिए बसने का विचार किया। पर दुसरे जगह जाना भी मुश्किल था। हंसों के लिए तो आसान था, क्यूंकि उन्हें उड़ना आता था पर कछुआ के लिए यह बहुत ही मुश्किल काम था। कछुआ को उड़ना तो आता नहीं था और ज़मीन पर उतनी दूर चलना भी आसान नहीं था।

तीनों दोस्तों ने परामर्श करके इस परेशानी का हल निकलने की सोची। एक हंस ने एक तरीका सोचा की अगर कछुआ अपने दांतों से लकड़ी की डंटे को पकड़ ले, तो डंटे के दोनों किनारों को हंस अपने मुंह में दवा कर उड़ जाएंगे। इसमें केवल एक ही दिक्कत थी, की कछुआ कुछ ना बोले नहीं तो वो गिर जाएगा और मर जाएगा। दोनों हंस बहुत चिंतित थे, क्यूँकि कछुआ के लिए चुप रहना बहुत मुश्किल था, वो बहुत बातूनी था। कछुए को बात समझ में आई, और उसने प्रतिज्ञा ली की वो पुरे रास्ते चुप रहेगा।

यात्रा शुरु करने से पहले, हंसों ने फिर से अपने मित्र कछुआ को समझाया, की किसी भी स्तिथि में अपना मुंह ना  खोले। हिदायत दे कर, हंसों  ने अपने चोंच में लकड़ी को पकड़ लिया, और कछुए ने लकड़ी के बीच वले हिस्से को दांतों में पकड़ा। और इस तरह उनकी यात्रा शुरु  हुई। वे बहुत ऊँचा ऊँचा उड़ते हुए पहाड़, खेत, मैदान के ऊपर से जा रहे थे। अंत में एक शहर के ऊपर से गुजरे।

शहर के लोगों ने ऐसा नज़ारा पहली  बार देखा था। सभी बहुत आश्चर्यचकित हुए। सभी लोग हसने लगे और तालियाँ बजाने लगे, हँसो  और कछुए को एसे उड़ते देख कर। लोग जोर जोर से हल्ला करने लगे और हंसने लगे, यह सब देख कर कछुए को गुस्सा आने लगा। अपनी जिज्ञासा को रोकने के जगह पर, वो बोलने के लिए मुंह खोला, और उसकी पकड़ छुट गयी, और वो गिर कर मर गया। इस तरह, कछुआ अपनी मुर्खता और बेसब्री से मारा गया।

कहानी का उपदेस- 

1. अपने दोस्तों की बातें हमेशा सुननी चाहिए।
2. बिना कारण  कभी भी नहीं बोलना चाहिए। तभी बोलें , जब ज़रूरी हो।

The Talkative Turtle

Once upon a time, there was a tortoise and two swan. The tortoise lived in a pond and he made friends with the swans, who used to come and visit him at the pond. All of them were happy and were leading their life happily from many years.

Once they faced a drought that lasted for several months. All the rivers, lakes and ponds went dry. There wasn't, even a single drop of water to drink for the birds and the animals. They began to die of thirst and scorching heat. Many of them decided to migrate to some fertile lands.

The three friends also decided to leave the pond and migrate to the some distant lake, which will be full of water, and to settle down there for ever. But it was quite difficult to shift at a distant place. Although, was quite easy for the swans, as they could fly but the problem was for tortoise. The poor tortoise could not fly and to cover that distance on the foot was really difficult.

The three friends had a conversation, as to what could be a possible solution for this problem. One of the swan suggested a plan, that the tortoise would have to hold a piece of stick by his mouth and which would be carried by both the swans, on either side of the stick. The only condition was that the tortoise should not speak; otherwise he would fall and will die. The swans were worried because they knew that tortoise was very talkative and it was difficult for him to keep his mouth shut. The tortoise understood the problem and promised, not to open his mouth during the entire journey.

Before starting their journey, the swans again cautioned their friend not to open his mouth in any case. With their instruction, the swans held the stick in the ends by their beaks and the tortoise held the stick in the middle with his teeth. And, they started their journey. They flew higher and higher, over hills, valleys, fields and plains. Finally, they flew over a town.

The people of the town were surprised to see such a strange scene. They started laughing and clapping, to see the swans carrying tortoise like that. The people started shouting and laughing, and it annoyed the tortoise. Unable to control his anxiety, he opened his mouth to speak. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he lost his grip on the stick and fell to his death. So, the poor tortoise got killed because of his stupidity and impatience.

Moral of the Story: 

1. Always listen to friendly advices.
2. Do not speak unnecessarily. Speak only when it's important.

Blue Day

We are surrounded with so many colors. Every place we lay our eyes, We see colors. Right from getting up in the morning to We saw  number of colors, in our house, in surroundings, in park, in school, everywhere. Now, comes Blue Color. Blue Color is one of the Prime Color. Blue Color is also find in the Rainbow Colors. Blue is the color of light between violet and green on the visible spectrum.

We want to give the concept of Blue Color to our little friends in School. They see lots of natural things around them everyday, which are Blue in Color, but do not realize, like sky is Blue, Sea is Blue, duck's eyes are blue.

We celebrated Blue Day with our sweet little friends in School and had Enormous fun. They did understand what is Blue. You can help your little kids in learning more about Blue. When ever all family is going out either to Restaurant or to Shopping or to any Relative's house- on the way you can show them blue color on different places like in the name of shops, some car, someone's cloth. It will help them to learn more about the Color. Just make it a point of teaching only one color in 1 week. Do not force them, if they do not respond and do not tell about more colors at 1 time, they will get confused. They are small so they will take their time, but eventually they learn and after sometime, you do not have to tell the colors of someone's shirt, they will tell you.

Here, are some Pictures of our Celebration of Blue Day in School -
