Football

 Hi dear reader! You may have guessed from the title itself that this story is about football. Being a football lover myself, I'd love to contribute a football story to the world of stories. It starts like this:

"What! You want to play football. No dear, you can join that singing club in your school but no football for you. Whoever has heard of a girl playing football.", her mother had said when 6 year old Meera had confessed to her mother that she wanted to join the football club in her school.

Meera was a young girl who dreamt of being a professional football player. She had talent but her mother forbid her from even speaking a word about the sport in their household. The only person who supported her dream was Meera's father. He encouraged her and once even tried to join Meera to a football training centre without her mum knowing but soon she came to know. Meera at 15 years old still wanted to pursue her dream of playing football and tried to convince her mother but to no avail. They fought almost everyday on this topic. Her relatives too tried to convince Meera on giving up her dream on playing football.

6 years passed and Meera, who was now 21, was forced to become an engineer. She went to work everyday without any interest. Then, one day, she saw a poster showing a football training academy in Delhi. An idea flashed through her mind. She would sign up for it and move to Delhi. To Meera's delight, her letter had been accepted and she made up her mind to move to Delhi. She quit her job and decided to live in the hostel in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi which was right next to her academy. Her mother wasn't happy at the thought of Meera playing football nor her moving to Delhi. Her father too was a little disappointed about her moving but he still supported her dream and was delighted to hear that she had been accepted to the academy.

It had been 4 months since Meera moved to Delhi. All was going well. She would wake up everyday with lots of energy, happiness and enthusiasm. She had a roommate, Suma, who went to the same academy. Soon, Meera and Suma became the best of friends. Then came the time for Meera to visit her parents. They were so happy on seeing her. She also noticed the change in her mother. Her mother really excited to hear all about the academy, Meera's best friend and their training. Meera had to go back to Delhi but visited her parents whenever she could. So that was her happy ending.

                                                                                                                                   The end

The Treasure of Friendship

                        Once there lived a tulsi plant. It was very kind, beautiful and green. But, when the travellers or tribe adored her, the rose, neem and guava plants were jealous. The friends who always support tulsi were, marigold, jasmine, mango and orange. One day, a traveller  started adoring tulsi. Rose and the others got so irritated that they felt to kick her. Then the next day, a wise old tree saw the two  fighting plants and said, "Dear plants, I'm observing from many days that the two of you are always fighting and I suggest you both to stop this fighting and become friends and remember, I'm telling this for your good." Tulsi agreed the idea, but rose and her friends did not agree. After sometime, after discussing a lot, they agreed and said, "We agree, but only in one condition" "What condition?" asked tulsi and her friends. "Yeah, Yeah, I'll tell you, have some patience." said rose and starte...

Friends Forever

  RuRu, RoRo and RaRa rabbits were the best of friends. RoRo was the naughtiest of them all. In fact, he was known as naughty Ro all around the forest. He would always get into trouble. Once, he stole   Grandpa Elephant’s glasses and Grandpa had to search his house for more than ten times until RoRo returned it. One day, he was hopping to RaRa’s burrow when he saw Mr Fox sitting outside his den, reading a book. Just then, an idea struck RoRo. It was obvious that if the fox saw him, he would chase RoRo. So, he set a trap to make Mr Fox fall into it.   Then, RoRo walked towards him and challenged the fox to catch him. But the fox would chase him anyway. So, he started running after RoRo. Unfortunately for RoRo, he tripped and the fox caught him before reaching the trap. He dragged RoRo into a small enclosed corner of the den where Mr Fox locked him up. As luck would have it, Cam the chameleon had seen the incident and immediately reported to RuRu and RaRa. They were so worr...

Ann and the aliens

                         Ann was a little girl. Her parents had gone out." Ann dear, you may watch television if you want to but don't stay up late.", her mother had said before leaving . But Ann didn't want to watch the television. So she went out to see the stars instead, when suddenly a light flashed at her from above. It took her up to the sky and then took her into a UFO. Ann was so amazed that she didn't notice the aliens in it. Then, she turned to see the aliens, but she got scared. She thought they'd harm  her. There were dad, mom, sister, brother, and baby alien. Then, the mother alien said to her, "Don't be scared little friend. We never harm anyone."   Ann got relieved upon hearing this.

Some of  these books were related to alien ...
