Mother was cleaning the house. She saw a feather on the carpet. It was white in color. Mother wondered where the feathers were coming from.
Birds never came inside the house. Mother called out to the house keeper. `Shankar!’ `Yes Madam,’ replied Shankar. Shankar, do you know where the feather has come from?’ asked mother. `No, Madam, I have no idea,’ replied Shankar.
`Have you seen a feather like this before?’ asked mother. `Yes Madam. This is the sixth one this week that has come here,’ replied Shankar. `So you have been seeing such feathers for the past six days?’ said mother. `Yes, Madam,’ replied Shankar.
When father heard about the feather, he searched the yard for dead birds. Father looked inside the roof for nests. But he did not find anything there. Jayanna and Ramesh also helped his father.
Every night, mother, father, Jayanna and Ramesh came into the sitting room to watch television. Ramesh brought his pillow with him. After watching the program, everyone would leave for their bedrooms. Ramesh would pick up his pillow and go to his room.
Father would check-up the locks and switch off the lights. One evening, the family had watched the program, when he program was over father asked Ramesh to go to his bedroom. As Ramesh picked up his pillow a feather fell on the carpet. Ramesh’s pillow had a little hole in it. Every time Ramesh picked up his pillow, a feather fell on the carpet. Everyone wondered. Now, they came to know where the white feathers come from.
Ravi goes for shopping
Ravi was a clever boy. He was six years old. He lived with his family in small house. His house was surrounded by a white fence.
Ravi had been a good boy. His mother gave ten Rupees to spend. Ravi was very happy. He thanked his mother and went away to the market to spend his money.
On his way, Ravi met Adenna was Ravi’s friend. `Ravi!’ called out Adenna `Come here, I will show you something,’ he said Adenna led Ravi in to his house. He took out a top.
`Come and see my new top,’ said Adenna. `It is very beautiful,’ said Ravi. Ravi liked the top. Ravi thought it was the most beautiful top that he had ever seen. He started walking towards the market to buy the top. He thought that perhaps he could buy a beautiful top like that.
Ravi walked along the street of shops. He saw many interesting things in the shops. But he kept thinking about the top. Soon Ravi saw a toy shop.
The shop had many things in it. Ravi saw some swords…. The swords were painted red, green and blue. He also saw some kites. There were small animals made of wood and clay too. And there were some tops in the toy shop also.
Ravi had never seen so many tops. There were tops of all colors and sizes. Some tops were plain. Some tops had stripes on them. Then Ravi saw a top that looked just like Adenna’s top. `This one, please,’ said Ravi to the shopkeeper.
Ravi took out ten rupees note from his pocket and gave it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper wrapped the top in a paper and gave it to Ravi. Ravi was very happy. He now had the most wonderful top in the world.
