Teesta Tales

Once upon a time there was a bungalow. There chairs would keep flying. In that bungalow lived a woman with long hair. She would hear different voices. One day while walking she finds a hare. On seeing her it starts to run with fear. “Come here”, she calls it. “I want to share my home with you.” she adds. “Cheers”, said the happy hare. I was in need of a home.  “Dear Ajji, thank you for giving me a home. Could I clear the bungalow for you?” asked the hare. In order to clean the bungalow the hare tears all the old curtains.  The End ( Ideation done by the students. Most of the writing and translation from Hindi done by the teacher ).

Once upon a time there was a boy who would keep fighting. He always had an angry face. He had a big stick. The boy lived near a river. The river had lots of stones.  One bird was flying in the sky. One day a girl was going near the stones. The stones were lying in the water. She kicked a stone which hit the boy. The angry boy ran towards the girl with his big stick. Then a big man who was sitting under the tree stopped him. The boy stopped but he started fighting with the big man. Then a small child came with a basket and asked them, “ What is happening?”. Till then the girl sat in a boat and went away. She reached her home which was near a mountain. Then she kept a rock in front of her hut. The End ( Ideation by the students, most of the writing and translation from Hindi done by the teacher. )
