Ani-Adi Adventures: Never Give Up

Teddy land, a very beautiful and lovely place to live. All teddies were very happy in their small and wonderful town with full of honey everywhere. Teddies food was honey; they were unaware of any other eatable. In this beautiful land a cute couple named Adi teddy Ani teddy lived. They had a small hut of their own with a beautiful garden in front of it. Where they used to grow jasmine flowers, chrysanthemum flowers and some other plants. The remaining plants were actually veggies but they did not know it is eatable. Their food was only honey. Adi teddy used to go to woods and get honey every day. 

On the other hand Ani teddy used to prepare garland of jasmine flowers. There was a huge market place in teddy land where Adi teddy used to sell those garlands after returning from woods. If any body buys a garland they had to give two big spoons of honey as payment. Citizens of teddy land did not know about money, everything there was in terms of honey. If teddies want to buy something they had to give honey. One day so happened, as usual Adi teddy went woods to collect honey. He went far and far in search of honey but he didn't get any, so he decided to return back. But he thought instead of returning empty hand I will collect some leaves. He collected some leaves and came back. Ani teddy was waiting for her hubby in the garden. When he returned empty handed she became sad and told him that there is no more honey at home as well.

Both of them sat on their cute swing decorated with flowers and started thinking. Ani teddy told animals eat leaves, roots and so many things, so why cannot we have some cooked leaves and veggies “I will prepare some thing from the plants in our garden”. She picked up potato and carrots thinking them as ordinary roots. She picked up cabbage and green peas; she even took the leaves and twigs got by adi teddy into her basket which were actually spices. Within no time she prepared a delicious soup which was liked by both of them. They enjoyed their soup in their beautiful garden on their swing. After having delicious breakfast adi teddy took his basket filled with garlands and set to the market place. He got shocked by looking at 

market place because it was all empty, nobody was happy in the entire teddy land. The reason is there was no honey left in the whole teddy land, teddies were starving without honey. Adi teddy felt very bad and decided to do something for his teddy friends. He came back to home and asked Ani teddy to prepare more soup and he left to woods to find same twigs and leaves. While returning he found a cute little rabbit and a beautiful baby deer. He fed them with some leaves and started walking. Those two cute little fellows started following him he realized that after reaching home. Ani teddy was overjoyed on having them. They decided to raise them and named them as Lulu and Lola. Lulu and Lola were very adorable. Ani fed them again with some grass and gave them water to drink. She started preparing soup; it was ready in some time. Adi teddy packed the soup in barrel he also prepared some bowls and spoons with leaves to serve soup. He marched towards market place. Lola followed him where as Lulu was helping Ani teddy in 

garden by chasing away the birds and pests. Adi teddy reached market place, but no body was looking at his soup. All teddies were starving in hunger, Adi teddy decided to give free samples to all teddies, and he did so. Every teddy was overjoyed by the taste of soup and they were proud of Adi teddy for such an invention. All teddies decided and told Adi teddy to get more and more soup next morning. Adi teddy returned home happily and informed Ani teddy about the response of other teddies. All were happy. Couple played with lulu and Lola and went to bed. Next morning she prepared a barrel of soup which was in turn carried by Adi teddy to the market place. Everybody rushed towards him. But there was no honey left to pay for the soup, so they thought to pay the valuables which they have with them. Day after day Adi teddy became rich. He constructed a new soup shop in the market place, and one fine day he builds a castle for himself. On witnessing the castle Ani, Lulu and Lola were overjoyed they

were on cloud nine. There was a river separating the market place and castle, Adi had build a bridge over it but there was no water in that river since ages. Adi teddy starts thinking that I have become such a rich person because of other teddies, I should do something for them as a return gift. He thought and thought and finally came up with an idea, he took the suggestion of his better half. Even she liked it and agreed happily. The next day was the festive day for the teddies of teddy land. The river which was there in front of castle was full of honey. Adi teddy ordered honey from the remote forest which was filled in the river. From that time onwards teddies never starved for honey. Every teddy thanked their beloved Ani and Adi whole heartedly.
