THE STORY OF THE PAPER, PEN, RULER AND ERASER

 

THE STORY OF THE PAPER, PEN, RULER AND ERASER

Once upon a time, there lived four friends named Pen, Ruler, Eraser, and Paper. They were very good friends. They always needed each other for everything they did, like, if their owner wanted to write a letter, then she would first need a blank paper so she would always use Paper for it and then she had to write the whole letter, so she used Pen and if she writes something wrong (she always wrote something wrong, so she needed Eraser a lot!!) she would erase it with the help of Eraser. Then she needs to draw a line to complete the letter so she used Ruler for that work. So, mainly all the four friends knew that they all had important roles in writing anything. One day, when they were just sitting on their owner’s desk, Pen said a lie to his friends,” Hey Friends! Do you know that today in school, while you all were talking, a girl said to our owner that I look so beautiful and she also said that I am made of good company as well” Then there was silence. Eraser couldn’t resist that a girl said that Pen was beautiful and was manufactured by a good company. But, that was the truth because Eraser also thought that Pen was good looking and was really manufactured by a good company as once while Pen was sleeping, Eraser went to his tummy and read the company. And that was a well recognised company. So, Eraser said to his friends,” Oh! Really? Do you know guys that a boy came to our owner and took me to his nose and smelled me and said that I am of very good fragrance and also said that I am of really good color” Again silence fell between the discussion. Then Ruler said,” Looks like you have got a good reputation in our owner’s classroom.....” Ruler didn’t even complete his sentence when both, Pen and Eraser shouted in chorus,” Yesss” Ruler said to them,” Be patient both of you,  I just wanted to tell you all that yesterday while you were all sleeping, I was not able to sleep as I had overslept day before yesterday. So, while I was just walking here and there, suddenly our owner’s friend came here to play with her. While they were playing I was just lying beside you all and was watching our owner play with her friend. Suddenly our owner’s friend asked if she could see our owner’s stationary.......That stationary is mainly us.....So, she first saw me as I was the first one she had a glance of. As soon as she came to me, she started shouting........” Again Ruler hadn’t finished his sentence and all the other three started shouting,” Why did she shout!? Why did she shout!?” Ruler replied,” First of all you stop shouting then I will tell you.” There was pin drop silence as soon as Ruler had said these words. Ruler continued,” So, as I was telling you as soon as she saw me she started shouting and then our owner came and asked in a hurry, ‘What happened Ahana!?’ Her friend replied pointing out to me, ‘Your scale is manufactured by the best company in the world!!’ Our owner asked ‘Oh! Is it?’ Then her friend replied ‘Yeah GIRL!!! And you didn’t even know that!? Then our owner got very proud and said,’ If it’s like that then I sure will try to ask my mother to buy a new one for you.’ Then her friend asked, ‘How does your mother bring you such a good company scale as it’s really difficult to find such a good brand scale? ‘Then our owner told her about her mother that she manufactures the company that makes me and my brothers and sisters. “Then the Pen, Eraser and Paper were astonished and Pen and Eraser were very jealous of him. Paper said nothing but a smile. After some silence, Paper said, “I think that you people get a lot of good comments and reputation in our owner’s class and with her close friends, don’t you?” All the three friends in a worrying mood,” Yes, we have a really good reputation with her close friends and with her school friends.” Paper smiled at his friends. Then he asked the other three, “I don’t want to say you all as liars, but I just wanted to ask, are you just saying this to make the other three of your friends jealous of you? And if the answer is yes then please come one step forward.” After hearing this the Pen, The Eraser and The Ruler got a little ashamed of themselves and started making a really worried face and started looking at each-other’s faces. Paper asked,’ so looks like no one has said any lies. That’s great! I knew that you all will never lie.” And turned his face and smiled a bit and turned around and started walking away slowly. Then Pen, Eraser and Ruler got really ashamed of what they had done. Then suddenly, Pen stopped Paper and said,” Paper, please stop.” When Paper turned, he asked,” What happened my dear friend?’’ Pen replied,’’ Dear Paper, I had lied that one of our owner's friends had told our owner that I have been manufactured by a good company and am good looking. I had just said that because I wanted to just make you people a little jealous. I’m Sorry.” After listening to what Pen, Eraser also came forward and said,’’ I’m also sorry. I had gotten a little jealous of Pen that our owner’s friends liked him so much, so I couldn’t resist and lied. I’m really sorry.’’ After hearing both Pen and Eraser apologizing, Ruler also came forward and said,’’ I’m also sorry, after hearing Pen and Eraser having such good reputations, I also lied. I’m also really sorry.’’ Then after hearing what Pen, Eraser and Ruler had to say, Paper said,’’ I knew that you all were lying this whole time as when I heard Pen telling things about himself, FYI yesterday I was with Pen the whole day so while I was with him no girl had came to Pen. And then Eraser, you had said that a boy had come to Eraser during Lunch Time, but at that time, Pen, Eraser and I were playing catch and catch. Then came Ruler, he said that yesterday while we were at home, our owner’s friend had come to play with her, then she came to him. I knew that you were lying as Pen and Eraser were the only one who were sleeping. I was not sleeping as I don’t have the habit to sleep in the evening and I was talking to Ruler about how this world started. Isn’t it Ruler?’’ Then Ruler replied,’’ Yes.’’ Paper continued,’’ And am I right Pen and Eraser?’’ Both Pen and Eraser replied,’’ Ummm, Yes’’ Paper continued,’’ So I know what you all do the whole day. We are friends, no one in us is in too much use and no one is really less in use, if we make each other jealous then how will we work together to serve our owner? We’ll have to work together and tell each other the truth, as we are friends, aren’t we?’’ Pen, Eraser and Ruler shouted in chorus,’’ Yes we are really good friends.’’ After saying this, the three of them thanked Paper for telling them what mistake they have and hugged Paper. After that day on, they never lied to each other again and lived happily ever after.

THE SCHOOL

  The School School is a place where we get knowledge. Its like a temple. Some people also say that its the home of Goddess Saraswati. School is the place from  where we get the blessings of Goddess Saraswati by studying with great concentration. Here we get to know the way of living life. The people who get the chance to come to school are very fortunate but they don't realize this thing and don't take anything related to school and studies seriously. But there are also some people who are unable to attend school due to their poorness or even caste, religion or race. They know the importance of going to school and studying. In a school, we learn new things and that also in a interesting w ay. There we learn discipline, patience and important lessons of life.
