LITTLE PAINTERS

 LITTLE PAINTERS

Adopted from 'Little Painters' by Cheryl Rao

One day Veena and Vinay were in the garden. There were many tins of paint. There was white paint and red paint, green paint, blue paint and yellow paint.

A group of painters were busy.

"Can we help?" asked Veena and Vinay.

The painters smiled. He gave them brushes.

"Paint the inside of the gate", he said to Veena.

"Paint the outside of the gate", he said to Vinay.

Veena painted the inside of the gate.

Vinay painted the other side of the gate.

By afternoon they finished their work.

But, the paint fell on the ground.

The paint fell on the wall.

The paint fell on them.

The paint fell everywhere.

So, they cleaned the wall.

They cleaned their clothes.

"I love my red gate!" said Veena.

"I love my green gate!" said Vinay.

When Amma, Baba, Boju and Bajay came out to look at the gate, Veena and Vinay were worried.

They looked at Amma.

Amma was smiling.

Bajay was smiling.

Boju was also smiling.

"What do we do now?", asked Baba.

"Let us keep it that way!", said Amma with a smile.

THE EAGLE AND THE BEETLE

The Eagle and the Beetle A beetle loved a certain hare And wandered with him everywhere; They went to fairs and feasts together,  Took walks in any kind of weather,  Talked of the future and the past  On sunny days or overcast,  But, since their friendship was so pleasant,  Lived for the most part in the present.  One day, alas, an eagle flew Above them, and before they knew What cloud had shadowed them, the hare Hung from her talons in mid-air.  'Please spare my friend,' the beetle cried.  But the great eagle was sneered with pride: 'You puny, servile, cloddish bug - Go off and hide your ugly mug.  How do you dare assume the right To meddle with my appetite?  This hare's my snack. Have you not heard I am the great god Zeus's bird?  Nothing can harm me, least of all A slow, pathetic, droning ball.  Here, keep your friend's head' And she tore The hare's head off, and swiftly bore His bleeding torso to her nest,  Ripped off ...

THE THIRTEENTH BULLET

THE THIRTEENTH BULLET    The mountainous countryside of Owari enjoyed a peaceful existence. The villagers felled trees and burned charcoal, which they would carry over the narrow trails to the nearest towns. Hunters were successful here, for there was plenty of game. As the days passed by, nothing ever happened that was worth the telling. Until suddenly everything changed, and not a single day went by without something happening to upset the whole village. At first, fowl began to go astray, then cattle began to disappear. Even worse the villagers themselves began to fear for their safety. Often those who were confident of knowing their way did not return home from the fields at nightfall. In the morning they were found with torn limbs and mauled faces. The villagers knew that some unknown beast was terrorizing the forest, so they went many times to track it down. They spread traps, but the beast was unusually clever. It was as though it knew exactly what the villagers were...
