Magic Mug                                                                                

Once upon a time,a girl named Rosa lived with her family.Everyday after a shower Rosa would pray to God. God was very happy from her good habit so he appears and says '' you are a very good girl , so I am giving you a very special gift. This is a magic mug anytime you want toffee all you have to say is give me a toffee over the hill and in my mug and you will get two toffees but, remember only two toffees a day". On your birthday only two for each of your friend but, if you go beyond the limit the mug will eminently stop giving toffee, alright"?
"OK" said Rosa and kindly took the gift.Rosa was very careful  about what god said  but ,when her birthday came she forgot what god had said.She took two toffees in the morning but in the evening when she was giving toffees to her friends she asked for herself also. She said "give me a toffee over the hill and in my mug" and the mug stopped giving toffee Rosa cried a lot and the next day she prayed all morning when god came she apologized a lot and god gave her another chance and said "I will give you another chance and if it happens again I will not give you another chance" .
"Ok" said Rosa and Rosa never ever went over limit again.

At The Zoo

First I saw the white bear, then I saw the black;
Then I saw the camel with a hump upon his back;
Then I saw the grey wolf, with mutton in his maw;
Then I saw the wombat waddle in the straw;
Then I saw the elephant a-waving of his trunk;
Then I saw the monkeys- Mercy,                                                                                                                                     How unpleasantly they-smelt!                                                                                          ~William Makepeace Thackeray
