Proudy Green Insect – Lucy


Lucy was a Green Insect. She was very beautiful. Everybody in her area used to adore her. She had a slim body, beautiful eyes, adorable lips. She used to walk like a cat using her high heel sandals. She used to get ready daily using all branded cosmetics to look more and more beautiful.


Every day at 10AM, all animals and insects of that area used to gather near Lucy's home to see her. Day by day she became Proudy. The animals and insects of that area used to offer her Food, Cloth etc.,

She stopped flying because of this. Started spending much time in decorating herself, watching movies to learn new styles and eating.

Months rolled out, she had a fixed schedule: Getting up at 8, get ready by 10, come out of home for 10 minutes, gather the items given by her fans, go inside ear and rest.

After some days, she became such lazy that, she did not want to come out for 10 minutes also. She started thinking of an alternate way for that, but there was no alternative as she wanted food every day: because of this, she used to show up herself.

This practice made her grow fat. She never cared about it, because animals and insects were crazy about her.

Meantime a Parrot named Pinky came to that area, she was so adorable that no body could take off their eyes from her.

Slowly Slowly the crowd started decreasing near Lucy's home and started building up at Pinky's nest.

Lucy was jealous of Pinky, she started making strategies to kick Pinky out of the area. She called her fan Monkey and told to destroy Pinky's nest.

Monkey destroyed Pinky's nest. Pinky was aware of the jealousy nature of Lucy, she also knew that Lucy destroyed her nest. Every body gathered near Pinky's nest and were discussing about the culprit, but Pinky did not utter a word.


Everyone offered her food and shelter, but she did not accept anything from anyone. She told: “ I have energy and I will build my nest again, If I depend on you I will become lazy and fat ”. She thanked them for being so kind and she also told the that she will definitely ask for their help if required.

Soon Pinky started teaching the animals and insects around Yoga and How to have positive approach in life?

Everyone stopped going to Lucy's home and started learning positive things from Pinky. Lucy had to search for food now, she could not fly because of her obese body. She used to be tired if she fly for one minute also.

She started making plans – she thought that she will dance with animals and insects for sometime and ask for food as a charge.

She put advertisements everywhere regarding the same. It stated “ Golden opportunity to dance with Lucy – The Beauty”.

People gathered around Lucy's home to see and perform with her. Lucy came out, she was dressed beautifully. She played music and started dancing: but she could not dance because of her overweight. All animals stated throwing twigs at her. She heard may speaking “ We should go to Pinky and learn Yoga to be fit. Else we will also become like Lucy: fat and useless”. 
 
Lucy bursted into tears realizing her mistake. Meanwhile Pinky came to Lucy and consoled her. Pinky told Lucy that you are very good at heart, because of the circumstanced and laziness you have become like this.It is not late even now you can become beautiful as before.

Lucy hugged pinky and apologized her for being so rude to her.

Pinky invited her to Yoga classes as the sign of acceptance of her apology.

Lucy joined Yoga classes, she was not at all lazy now, she started loosing weight day by day and beautiful before.

She took a oath that: she will never receive any think from anyone, instead she will search for her own food and for reform her.

Uncle Mushroom - The Rescuer

The day was Uncle Mushroom's birthday, everybody wanted to celebrate his birthday: they thought of entertaining Uncle Mushroom. Function was inaugurated by Peacock's dance, vocals for dance was given by Koyal. Followed by the fashion show of different breeds of birds. There was a circus organized by animals. Many different and new stunts were shown there. The ring master of circus was Appu monkey. Flowers presented different flavored sweet nectar to Uncle Mushroom. Plants and Trees were not behind: they organized a magic show in the honor of their Uncle Mushroom.
Uncle Mushroom was touched sentimentally by his beloved one's love. On the same day King Lion suggested Uncle Mushroom to name their land. Uncle Mushroom named their land as “HAPPY LAND”. All plants and animals called their land's name with three cheers several times. Plants and animals loved the name given by Uncle Mushroom. The day was fun filled, everybody enjoyed it including birthday boy Uncle Mushroom.
The next day: King Lion was in deep thought and worried about his land's problem. Yes, the Happy Land's subjects were falling sick due to the water. King Lion informed the same to Uncle Mushroom and asked him to fix this problem.
Uncle Mushroom wanted to cross verify whether the problem is due to water or there is some other reason. So he called Eci Eagle to help him for the same. Uncle Mushroom asked Eci to find out what is the problem, Uncle Mushroom choose Eci for this because of his sharp sight and detective nature. Eci inspected whole Happy Land, but there was no trace of a single problem. Eci reported same to Uncle Mushroom.
Uncle Mushroom started thinking, what might be the reason?
He called the Frogs who used to reside in waterfall and enquired them about their problem. Mr. Froggy started explaining him the problem, he said: there was no problem till last week. From last week the water is contaminated and we do not know the reason behind it, as a result I am loosing my family. Uncle Mushroom consoled him and gave him the hope that he will be fixing everything very soon.
He again called Eci and instructed him to fly over the river from which the water is falling as waterfall in our happy land and find out if there is any problem with the river. Uncle Mushroom also instructed Eci to speak to some aquatic animals to know their problem.
Eci nodded as he understood everything and flew away. The river was very big, it was like a ocean, Eci flew over the entire river and found out a fact that there was a factory on the banks of the river which was leaving all its polluted water directly to the river without recycling it, through a big pipe.
Eci became sad by the misdeeds of the factory owners, as per the suggestion of Uncle Mushroom he spoke with sharks, small fishes, big fishes, jelly fishes, start fishes and many other aqua family members. Everybody's complaint was same, that because of the black water coming out of that pipe it has become very difficult to take a single breath in the water and we are loosing our family because of it. Eci understood the situation and flew to Happy Land.
Eci explained each and every problem narrated by aqua family members and about the factory as well to Uncle Mushroom and because of the same reason the subjects of the Happy Land are falling sick.
Uncle Mushroom is worried, he started thinking what might be the solution for this problem and found out a solution, for which he wanted his team's help.
He called the subjects of Happy Land and explained the problem they are going through, before Uncle Mushroom could ask for their help, all animals and plants themselves came forward to help him in this good deed.
Uncle Mushroom explained his plan to them. All the subjects agreed for it and that was the best solution they could find. They started gathering charcoal, sand, some herbs and many other things as per Uncle Mushroom's instructions. Wood Pecker was instructed to cut a bark and give it a cone shape with a small nozzle. The cone was ready in few hours, Uncle Mushroom told Juggi elephant to get the cone near him and he instructed Komal Kangaroo to pour the sand as a first layer in the cone, followed by charcoal as a second layer, grass as a third layer and different medicinal herbs as fouth layer. 
The water purifying filter was ready. Now the task was to fit this cone to the pipe from where the polluted water is getting into the river. Uncle Mushroom told Juggi to follow Eci who will lead you to the problem area. He gave the instructions about how to fit the water filter to Komal Kangaroo and asked her to explain the same to the aquatic animals who will help in fitting the filter. As per the
instructions of Uncle Mushroom filter was carried there. Komal carefully explained aqua animals how to fix the filter. Within some hours the filter was fit and animals were very happy. As a result of fixing filter, they could see the change in water color. Water was not black now, it was purified one.
Animals returned back dancing. Along with King Lion entire Happy Land thanked the rescuer Uncle Mushroom.
