The Magic Cookbook

In the bustling city of Mumbai there were two best friends Rose and Lily. Rose would visit Lily's house every day. There would be aromas of jalebis, laddus, biriyani, chaat, namkeen, etc around the house. Lily and Rose were eager to know how grandma would cook such delicacies. But grandma would always tell "It is magic". Lily and Rose would never understand. After a few years grandma fell sick and died soon after. Lily and Rose were in 7th grade then. They decided to research about the magic grandma would talk about. After a few days Lily found grandma's cookbook. The girls were so excited and prepared Kesari Jalebi. 
After they were done, they took a bite and found themselves levitating to a garden, a magical garden. There to their surprise they found a witch! The witch was plump wearing a black apron on top of her robes. She was baking a very delicious looking chocolate cake. The witch saw them and captured them. "If you want to escape you must answer these riddles". The witch said. "Fine bring it on" Rose said. They were scared but they had to answer these riddles.



The first question was-

A container without hinges, lock or a key, yet a golden treasure lies inside me.

What am I? "An egg" Lily replied. " What no one answered this question!" The witch exclaimed.

Second question-

What kind of cup doesn't hold water? "A cupcake" Rose said. The witch was furious.

Final question- 

It looks green, it opens red. What you eat is red, but what you spit out is black.

"A watermelon" Lily and Rose said together.

"Well, a deal is a deal, but while going take this spice bottle with you". The witch said kindly. The girls returned home happily. "So, this is the magic grandma was talking about". Lily said softly. Lily and Rose grew up to be professional bakers. But they would never forget the adventure they both had.

The Submarines



Submarines are water transport vehicles. People use them to travel under water. 

Scientists go in submarines to study about water animals we don't even know about. Militaries use submarines to patrol oceans and to attack enemy ships during war. Militaries submarines carry missiles and torpedoes. A submarine has a big tank called a ballast tank. The submarine is light for it's size so the ballast tank gets filled up with water and the submarine sinks. When the submarine is ready to surface the the ballast tanks release the water and fill with air so the submarine starts to float.

The Rainbow

Seven colors shining in the rainbow,

Making the entire sky glow.

Water droplets and the sunshine,

Make a spectacle so fine.

What a beautiful natural show!

Friends


We had some friends

They followed different trends

They were very sweet 

In exams, they would cheat 

But then, they made amends

The big fat frog


 



There was a big fat frog

Who looked like a rock

It was lying like a lump

But then started to jump

and scared a big dog
