Moral Story:

Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled among rolling hills, there lived a curious young girl named **Lila**. Lila had a wild imagination and loved to explore the forests surrounding her home. She believed that magical creatures inhabited the ancient trees and whispered secrets to those who listened carefully.

One sunny morning, Lila set off on an adventure. She wore her favorite red cloak, just like the one her grandmother had given her. "Be back before sunset," her mother called after her, waving from the doorstep.

Lila followed a narrow path into the heart of the forest. The tall trees formed a natural canopy, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating dappled patterns on the ground. Birds chirped, and the air smelled of pine and earth.

As she walked, Lila noticed a peculiar tree. Its bark was silver-gray, and its leaves shimmered like emerald jewels. "This must be the magical tree," Lila thought. She pressed her ear against the trunk, hoping to hear its secrets.

To her surprise, the tree spoke. "Greetings, young adventurer," it said in a melodic voice. "I am **Silvandra**, the guardian of the forest. What brings you here?"

Lila's eyes widened. "I seek stories," she replied. "Tell me about the creatures that live here—the fairies, the talking animals, and the hidden treasures."

Silvandra chuckled. "Ah, you have a curious heart, Lila. Very well, I shall share a tale."And so, Silvandra began:

"Long ago, when the moon was full, the forest came alive. Fairies danced on moonbeams, their wings sparkling with stardust. They guarded ancient secrets—the location of hidden waterfalls, the recipe for moonberry pie, and the spell to make flowers bloom in winter."

Lila listened intently, her imagination painting vivid pictures. She imagined tiny fairies flitting among the ferns, their laughter echoing through the forest.

"But beware," Silvandra continued. "Not all creatures are friendly. The mischievous **Glimmergoblins** love to play tricks on unsuspecting travelers. They tie shoelaces together, turn acorns into skipping stones, and hide keys just when you need them."

Lila giggled. "I'd like to meet a Glimmergoblin someday."

"Be careful what you wish for," Silvandra warned. "They can be quite mischievous."

As the sun dipped lower in the sky, Lila thanked Silvandra for the enchanting tale. "I'll visit you again," she promised, patting the silver-gray bark.

And so, Lila returned home, her heart brimming with wonder. She shared Silvandra's story with her family, and they laughed and marveled at the magical forest.

From that day on, Lila visited Silvandra often. She learned more tales—the legend of the **Moonstone Pond**, the song of the **Whispering Willow**, and the riddles of the **Wise Owl**.

And so, dear reader, if you ever find yourself wandering through a sun-dappled forest, keep your ears open. You might hear the rustle of wings, the laughter of fairies, or the mischievous whispers of Glimmergoblins. But remember, it's the curious hearts like Lila's that discover the true magic hidden within the trees.

తెలివైన మనిషి

ఓ ఊరిలో ఉండే ప్రజలు ఓ తెలివైన వ్యక్తి దగ్గరికి తమ సమస్యలను చెప్పుకునేందుకు వచ్చేవారు. సమస్యలకు పరిష్కారం లభిస్తుందేమో అనే ఆశతో ఆ తెలివైన వ్యక్తి దగ్గరకు వచ్చేవారు. ప్రతి రోజు ఒకే సమస్యను ఆయన ముందుంచేవారు. ఒకరోజు ఆ తెలివైన వ్యక్తి సమస్యలు విన్నవించుకునేందుకు వచ్చిన వారికి ఒక జోక్ చెప్పాడు. అంతా గట్టిగా పగలబడి నవ్వారు. కొన్ని నిమిషాల తర్వాత మళ్లీ అదే జోక్‌ను చెప్పాడు. దీంతో అక్కడ కొంతమంది మాత్రమే మళ్లీ నవ్వారు. ముచ్చటగా మూడో సారి అదే జోక్ చెప్పాడు. అయితే ఈ సారి మాత్రం ఎవ్వరూ నవ్వలేదు. అప్పుడు చిన్నగా నవ్వి ఆ తెలివైన వ్యక్తి ఇలా అన్నాడు. 'ఒకే జోక్‌కు మళ్లీ మళ్లీ నవ్వలేరు.అలాంటప్పుడు ఒకే సమస్యను పదేపదే ఎందుకు ప్రస్తావిస్తున్నారు' అని ప్రశ్నించాడు.

ఈ కథలోని నీతి: సమస్యపై చింత చేయడం వల్ల అది పరిష్కారం కాదు.. కేవలం సమయం, శక్తి మాత్రమే వృథా అవుతుంది.

వేసవి సెలవులు గుర్తుండిపోయేలా.. కొత్తగా ఇలా చేసేద్దామా?

ఈ వేసవి సెలవుల సమయాన్ని వినోదం, విజ్ఞానం మేళవింపుతో ఎప్పటికీ గుర్తుండిపోయేలా కొత్తగా ఏం చేయొచ్చో ఆలోచించండి:

- పిల్లలకు సైన్స్ ప్రయోగాలను సరదాగా ఉండటంతో పాటు నేర్చుకోవడానికి చాలా ఉంటుంది.

- పోషకాహారం గురించి పిల్లలకు అవగాహన కల్పించడానికి వంట, బేకింగ్ వంటి కార్యకలాపాల్లో భాగం చేయవచ్చు.

- సుడోకు వంటి ఆటలు, క్రాస్ వర్డ్స్, జిగ్సా పజిల్స్ ప్రయత్నించవచ్చు.

- పిల్లలకు ఇష్టపడే పుస్తకాలు, వేసవి పఠన కార్యక్రమాల్లో పిల్లలకు చేర్చవచ్చు.

- మ్యూజిక్ క్లాసుల్లో చేర్చవచ్చు.

- కొత్త ఆటలు నేర్పించవచ్చు.

- కొత్త భాషా నైపుణ్య తరగతుల్లో చేర్చవచ్చు.
