Hindi Story Telling Competition

Yashu has a competition for Hindi Story Telling on Thursday. I choose the story "ईमानदार लकड़हारा" and for that I have prepared three axes as a prop.

I hope it will work for her and she will do good in her Competition.

I have made these with sparkled and matte finished foam sheets.

Story

एक गरीब लकड़हारा था । लकड़ियां काट कर किसी तरह से अपना गुज़ारा करता था । एक दिन वह जंगल में लकड़ियां काटने गया । लकड़ियां काटते समय उसकी कुल्हाड़ी उसके हाथ से छूटकर नदी में गिर गयी । वह दुखी हो कर बैठ गया और सोचने लगा कि अब वह अपने परिवार के लिए धन कैसे जुटाएगा?

उसकी यह दशा देख कर नदी के देवता को उस पर दया आ गयी और उन्होंने नदी में डुबकी लगा कर एक सोने कि कुल्हाड़ी निकली और लकड़हारे को दिखाते हुए पुछा, "क्या यह तुम्हारी कुल्हाड़ी है?" लकड़हारे ने कहा, "हे देवता, मुझ गरीब के पास सोने की कुल्हाड़ी कहाँ से आएगी? यह मेरी कुल्हाड़ी नहीं है ।" नदी के देवता ने फिर से पानी में डुबकी लगायी औए एक चांदी की कुल्हाड़ी निकाल कर पुछा, "क्या यह तुम्हारी कुल्हाड़ी है ?" लकड़हारे ने कहा,"नहीं यह भी मेरी कुल्हाड़ी नहीं है ।" अंत में नदी के देवता ने डुबकी लगायी और लोहे की कुल्हाड़ी निकली, जिसे देखा कर लकड़हारा खुश हो गया और बोला, " यह ही मेरी कुल्हाड़ी है ।"

नदी के देवता उसकी ईमानदारी पर खुश हो गए और उसे तीनो कुल्हाड़ी दे दीं । लकड़हारा ख़ुशी-ख़ुशी अपना जीवन व्यतीत करने लगा । 

शिक्षा : ईमानदारी ही सबसे बड़ा धन है ।

Show and Tell Competition!!!

There was Show and Tell Competition in Yashasvi's school and I prepared her with the topic "Healthy Food".

Tomatoes are red, beans are green,

Brinjal has a crown, just like a queen!

Potatoes are brown, Onions are Pink,

Carrots have juice, which I can drink!

Vegetables make me healthy and wise.

I will eat some, daily with Milk and Rice.

चिड़िया बोली कुट-कुट-कुट!!!

Hindi Poem Competition!!!

चिड़िया बोली कुट-कूट-कूट,

दे दो मुझको दो बिस्कुट,

भूख लगी है खाऊँगी,

खा पीकर सो जाऊँगी।

दूध जलेबी रखी है,

पर उसमे तो मक्खी है,

कैसे खाऊँ, कैसे खाऊँ, 

चल भूखी ही सो जाऊँ ।

A Little Red Hen

An English Story telling competition held in Yashasvi's (my daughter) school. I let her prepared the following story and I made the prop that she showed during the story narration.

Story

On a farm, there lived many animals and birds. One day a little Red hen found a grain of the wheat in the farm yard. She asked the other birds and animals, "who wants to plant this grain of the wheat?" The duck and the goose were lazy and they quickly refused to do any work. So, the little Red Hen planted the grain of the wheat. When the wheat was ripe, the little Red Hen again asked the other birds, :Who will take the wheat to the mill?" The duck and the goose again ignored the little Red Hen and continued playing. When it was time to make bread with the flour, the little Red Hen did the work all by herself. At last it was time to eat the bread. The duck and the goose stood close thinking that they too would get a share. But the Red Hen said, "I will eat the bread alone because only I worked for it." She called her chicks and they all had a feast.

Moral: There are no gains without pains.
