The Criteria For Trousers.

The criteria for trousers were,

That they were needed to be brown,

Well made and stitched to perfection.

They were so,

So, the boy bought them,

And he gift wrapped it.

It was for his cousin brother,

Who on receiving started dancing with laughter,

And wore it on the next special occasion.

The criteria for trousers were indeed met,

And the gift was well received.

Adios!

Cereals For Breakfast.

A breakfast must be fulfilling,

As good as the morning sunlight,

So that the time from morning till afternoon passes in such a good way that,

You can work with full steam to ensure that your work gets successfully.

Thus, add cereals in a bowl,

Pour milk nicely over it,

And drizzle honey on top of it.

And those who don’t mind some cream,

Can add some fresh cream or sweetened cream for that matter.

Voila! World’s most nutritious breakfast is ready.

Adios!

A Fresh Warm Cake.

A Fresh Warm Cake.

A fresh warm cake,

Like the morning happiness,

Wasn’t far away.

Just two streets down,

And four lanes across.

I got up from my bed,

Got the whiff of the bread and cakes being made fresh in the bakery,

I went to buy some.

A fresh warm cake,

With tea,

Gave warmth to my soul,

Ma loved, Baba loved it,

The day became happiest,

For the warm cake delighted us as much as the glowing hearth.

And in the evening, there was more fresh baked items to relish upon.

It felt like the Victorian times.

Some of them are still alive.

Adios!

The Man Asking For Peanuts.

Few days back, I was having some peanuts at a bus stand when the man asked me for a peanut.

I said-“What?!”

He said-“ Can I have some peanuts?”

I was taken aback.

He said that hadn’t had peanuts for more than thirty years, so suddenly he felt the need to eat some.

I told him-“There’s a peanut seller, selling peanuts just around the corner. You can buy the peanuts over there.”

“I know I can, but I want to you give me the peanuts.”

Hearing him speak these words I moved away from him, and started walking.Maybe he was nuts.

Then someone called my name and I turned around to see who it was.

It was the same man, who had asked me for peanuts.

I-“How do you know my name?”

Him-“I knew it!”

I-“Knew what?”

Him-“That you won’t recognize me.”

I-“Why should I recognize you?”

Him-“I am your old school friend. We studied in the same school for two years and you would have peanuts which I used to bring in my tiffin box.”

I-“And you wouldn’t give it to me. Just a mere two or three peanuts and the rest you would simply gobble up.”

Him-“You recognized me?”

I-“Oh! Yes.The moment you said can I have some peanuts, that scrawny voice of yours tingled the brain cells in my mind. I immediately thought –“Where had I heard this voice before?” I looked around and though you have grown up  be a grumpy looking man, your eyes and smile hasn’t changed much.”

Him-“So you recognized me and were playing a prank on me?”

I-“Meeting me after so many years, if you can play a prank on me, then I too can do so.”

His face fell down.

I-“Don’t worry old friend. I shall buy you a new pack of peanuts from the peanut seller.”

And thus, he cheered up a bit.

We had tea and peanuts, chatted for a while and then we got up on the bus, which we were supposed to do much earlier.

In long spaces of time, people don’t change much. Do they?

Adios!

A Big Tree Went To Meet A Rat-2

A Big Tree Went To Meet A Rat-2

Mr.Big Tree had told Mr.Rat that a group of “pirate” mice were planning to attack his town.

Few days back, their leader had held a meeting at the ground near Mr. Big Tree’s foot and discussed his plans.

This was the secret upon hearing which Mr.Rat had shivered up.

In a scared voice Mr.Rat asked Mr.Big Tree “What shall we do now old friend?”

Mr.Big tree replied-“Lets call upon my friend Sir Elephant. He is intelligent and can give you some good advice.”

Soon Sir Elephant came to meet his old friend Mr.Big Tree, and was apprised of the problem.

Hearing it all Sir Elephant said-“It’s very simple. You all are simply worrying.”

Mr.Rat-“Sir Elephant, is it. I am very scared.”

Sir Elephant-“Oh! Those pirate mice have been caught before.”

Mr.Big Tree-“How my old friend?”

Sir Elephant-“There are two ways.”

Mr. Rat-“What are the ways?”

Sir Elephant-“Let them come and we shall teach them a lesson.”

Saying so Sir Elephant went away to make some preparations.

In the meantime, the news spreaded that a group of pirate mice were planning to attack, the rat town and everyone remained vigilant.

They had locked down their houses.

Sir Elephant came with the preparations.

He said to all –“No need to worry.Everything has been taken care off.”

The rats weren’t assured.

Seeing their grumpy and doubtful faces, Sir Elephant said-“Come and see”.

He asked them to follow him.

Mr.Big Tree, Sir Elephant, Mr.Rat took the lead and other rat villagers followed them.

Upon walking nearly half kilometer, they found a group of pirate mice tied up, by the animal police force.

All the villagers were astonished. They gathered around Sir Elephant and said-“Sir, how did this happen. How could you make it possible?”

Sir Elephant-“It was very simple. Mice are very scared of lights. In the dead of the night, they were coming to attack your village, so the moment they approached our location we threw water on them and when they were looking here and there for source of the water, we turned on the halogen lights, while the rat cops had the protective sunglasses on. The pirate mice started running here and there, as they were blinded with the white lights, and we caught and tied them up with iron chains so that they don’t break free of it.”

Sir Elephant said-“Do not bow before me. It could all happen due to Mr. Big Tree efforts and quick thinking.”

The villagers then profoundly thanked Mr.Big Tree.

But that wasn’t all.

Watch out for more.

Adios!
