 1. The Lost Puppy

Rohan was walking home when he heard a small whimper. He turned and saw a tiny puppy shivering in the cold. It had no collar.

Rohan picked up the puppy and took it home. He gave it warm milk and a blanket. The puppy wagged its tail happily.

The next day, Rohan put up posters around the neighborhood. After a few hours, a little girl came running. "Tommy!" she cried, hugging the puppy.

Rohan smiled. He felt happy knowing he had helped.

2. The Magic Pencil

Meena loved to draw, but her drawings never looked perfect. One day, she found an old pencil in her grandmother’s cupboard.

When she used it, something amazing happened—her drawings came to life! She drew a bird, and it flew away. She drew an apple, and she could eat it!

Meena was excited but also careful. She only drew things that would bring happiness. One day, she lost the pencil, but she had learned an important lesson—true creativity comes from the heart.

3. The Boy Who Never Gave Up

His friends were surprised. "How did you do it?" they asked.

Amit smiled and said, "I never gave up!"

4. The Talking Parrot

Priya’s grandmother had an old parrot named Kiki. One day, Priya was playing near Kiki’s cage when she heard, "Priya, eat your vegetables!"

Priya jumped. "Did you just talk?"

Kiki nodded. "Grandma says it every day!"

Priya laughed and ran to tell her grandmother. From that day, Kiki became her best friend, and he never forgot to remind her to eat her vegetables.

5. The Kind Stranger

It was a hot day, and Asha was waiting for the bus. She saw an old man struggling to carry heavy bags.

She rushed to help him. "Let me carry one," she said.

The old man smiled and thanked her. "You have a kind heart," he said.

Later, when Asha was short of money for her bus ticket, the old man gave her the exact amount. "Kindness always comes back," he said with a wink.

The Missing Diamond

Detective Rohan was enjoying his morning tea when his phone rang.

"Sir, the royal diamond is missing!" said the museum manager in a panic.

Rohan quickly reached the museum. The glass case where the diamond was kept was broken. The guards swore they had seen nothing.

Rohan examined the floor and found muddy footprints leading to a window. "Strange," he thought. "It hasn’t rained for a week."

He turned to the manager. "Who was the last person to clean this room?"

"A new cleaner, Ravi," the manager replied.

Rohan smiled. "Call him here."

When Ravi arrived, his shoes had dried mud on them. Rohan pointed at them. "Where did you go this morning?"

Ravi hesitated. "I… I was at the park."

"But it didn’t rain recently," Rohan said. "You must have stepped in mud last night, near the museum garden!"

Ravi’s face turned pale. "H-How did you know?"

Rohan took out a small glass shard from his pocket. "This was stuck in your shoe. It’s from the broken case!"

Ravi had no words. The guards searched his bag and found the missing diamond wrapped in a cloth.

"You are under arrest!" the police said.

Rohan sipped his tea and smiled. "Another case solved!"
