Intellect or Strength?

There lived two boys — X and Y. They had been natural friends since childhood, relying on each other's support due to their vastly different yet complementary qualities. X possessed a fit, wrestler-like physique, always believing that physical strength was the greatest asset. On the other hand, Y was a mentally intelligent chap who firmly supported the supremacy of intellect. Their frequent debates always revolved around one question — Which is better: strength or intellect? One day, Y devised a clever plan to prove his point and outsmart X. He invited X to his home for a sugarcane juice party, promising to arrange the refreshments himself. X, thrilled by the invitation, reached Y's home early, eagerly waiting for the treat. Meanwhile, Y went to the market and ordered two glasses of sugarcane juice for takeaway. When he returned, he greeted X with an exaggerated smile. "Welcome, my esteemed guest! Please make yourself comfortable while I, your humble host, serve you the fi...

  Manas, Tejas, and Bruzo: The Day They Faced the Witch at the Park Manas and Tejas — best friends with a perfect balance of qualities. Tejas, strong and fearless, always ready to confront challenges head-on. Manas, sharp and strategic, who believed brains and calm thinking win the day.

The Obediant Ghost

A while ago, there lived an obedient kid, who was so much obedient that all the parents in the neighborhood used to compare their kid with him. Yes, he was the typical Sharmaji's son, but in terms of manners and social order. But the school peon took advantage of his behavior and sometimes even blackmailed him.  One fine day, the peon once again wanted to bully the kid. He ordered the kid to throw his own watch inside the well to which the student couldn't deny due to the fear of being bullied. Hence, he threw it inside the well. And now, the evil peon threatened him to get inside the well to get the watch with the condition that he'll complain his parents that he threw his own watch. The kid did jump into the well, but unfortunately, it marked his end. The peon then closed the well, thinking that he was still searching his watch with no knowledge of the accident.  The next day, the parents complained the principal for the missing of the child and hence a search operation w...

The Helpful Magan In the quaint village of Pataliputra, a humble woodcutter named Magan faced not only the challenges of earning a living but also a severe illness that made him an outcast. Afflicted by a disease that repelled others, Magan led a solitary life. One day, fate intervened as King Ashok of Pataliputra ventured into the forest for a hunt. Resting near a river, an ill-intentioned spy from a rival kingdom seized the opportunity to push the king into the water, disappearing without a trace. The king, unable to swim, cried out for help. Magan, drawn by the king's distress, rushed to the riverbank, accompanied by his friends. Swiftly, Magan threw a rope into the river, aiding the struggling king to safety.

How Valiyo became Valmiki!

In the heart of a dense jungle, a notorious robber named Valiyo made his living through robbery. He was feared by travellers and revered by his family, who relied on his stolen goods to sustain their lives. One day, Sage Narada, the ever-mischievous celestial bard known for his devotion to Lord Vishnu, happened to pass through the jungle. As always, Narada was dressed in simple robes, carrying his veena, and chanting “Narayana, Narayana!” in a melodious rhythm. Valiyo spotted him from afar and mistook him for a wealthy priest. “This man must have hidden riches,” he thought, eyeing Narada’s attire and veena with suspicion. With a wicked grin, Valiyo drew a sharp knife from the folds of his dhoti and concealed himself in the bushes, ready to strike. As Narada drew nearer, Valiyo leapt out, brandishing his knife. “Stop right there, Brahmana!” he bellowed. “Hand over all your riches, or I’ll chop you to pieces with this blade!” Narada, undisturbed, responded calmly, “Narayana, Narayana!
