story {the closet creature}

By
Bump! Bump! Scratch!

 Adam opened his eyes and pulled the covers up to his chin. He stared around his room, searching the darkness for the thing that was making those scary sounds. 

The closet door moved as something banged on it from the inside.

 “Who’s there?” Adam asked in a shaky voice.

 The closet slowly began to open. Adam jumped out of bed and ran to the closet door, slamming it shut with his palms. He grabbed his desk chair and propped it against the door handle. Then he ran out of his room and down the hall. His brother’s door was wide open, and Adam jumped onto David’s bed.

 “Adam?” David asked in a groggy voice. “What are you doing in here?”

 Adam tugged on David’s arm. “There’s something in my closet!” 

“You probably had a bad dream. Go back to bed.”

 Adam yanked the blankets off the bed. “It wasn’t a dream. I was awake, and the closet door started opening by itself!” 

David sighed. “Fine. But when we don’t find anything, you have to promise to leave me alone for the rest of the night.”

 Adam nodded. David reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a flashlight. Then they headed to Adam’s room. Adam stopped in the doorway. He could hear something scratching his closet door. “Do you hear that?” Adam asked.

 David nodded. He walked over to Adam’s bed and pulled the case off one of the pillows. He opened the pillowcase.

 “You open the door very slowly, and I’ll grab whatever it is.” 

Adam slid the chair to the side and pulled the closet door open a crack. Something banged against the door, trying to force it open. Adam took a deep breath and opened the door a few more inches. A small furry creature ran right into the pillowcase. 

“I got it!” David said, closing the pillowcase and holding it in the air.

 “What is it?” Adam moved closer as David peeked inside. 

David put the pillowcase on the bed and an orange cat climbed out.

 Adam scooped the cat up. “Apricot? How did you get trapped in my closet?”

 David laughed. “The poor cat. If I was locked in your closet with your stinky shoes, I’d be banging on the door to get out, too!” 

“Poor, Apricot,” Adam said. “You were probably more scared than I was.”

story {the old women and her servants}

By
An old women who had two servants. Every day the women would wake up as soon as her cock starts crowing. then she would rouse the servants as well and ask them to begin the day's work. The servants did not like to get up early in the morning. All the time they were thinking what to do to have longer and undisturbed sleep in the morning. One day one servant said the other, "Let us kill the cock. If there is no cock, there will be no crowing. If there is no crowing the mistress won't wake up early in the morning. If she does not wake up early in the morning, none will disturb our quiet sleep." The other servant agreed. So the next day they killed the cock. Now that there was no cock, the old woman would not know the exact time. She would wake up even earlier than before. Once she was out of her bed, she would not let her servants remain in bed. The cock was gone. But the servants had a harder time than before. MORAL OF THE STORY- A WRONG REMEDY IS WORSE THAN T...

story {Smell and Sound}

By
One evening a poor farm worker was on his way home. A very pleasant smell came from a sweetmeat shop on the road. His mouth watered. He went to the shop and stood there for some time. Then he turned to go because he could not afford to buy the sweetmeat. Just then he heard the shopkeeper's commanding voice, "Stop. You can't go away without making payment."  "Payment? For what?" asked the man. "For the sweetmeat," said the shopkeeper. "But I haven't eaten any," said the man. "But you did enjoy its smell, didn't you?" asked the shopkeeper. "Smelling is as good as eating." The poor man looked very much worried. Now, a wise man was standing by. He took the man aside. He whispered a word of advice into his ears. The man's face lit up. He went up to the shopkeeper and jingled a few coins in his pocket. The shopkeeper seemed pleased. He said,"Come on, pay the money."  The man said, "I have ...
