Come Soon, Monsoon! - A skit by Pratya

 

Narrator (Boy 3): It was a beautiful day in Bangalore. Some boys and girls from Vidyashilp Academy had just got back home from school.

Boy 1: Yippeee! It’s a very nice and sunny day! Let’s go out and play, everyone!

Boy 2: Yes! I want to play Cricket!

Girl 1: I want to go skipping!

Girl 2: Let’s all take our bicycles out and go cycling!

Boy2 & Girl 1: Yay let’s all go out and have some fun!

Everyone pretends to be skipping or playing cricket. After a little time..

Narrator:  The kids had just started playing their games outside. But then, suddenly..

Girl 1: Hey! The clouds are getting darker. I think it’s going to rain!

Boy 1: The rain always spoils our fun. Why should it rain every evening?

Boy 2: Oh it must be the Monsoon our English teacher was telling us about!

Girl  1: Monsoon? What soon? What is it?

Girl 2: Oh don’t you know? Monsoon is a yearly weather pattern where parts of India get lot of rain and thunderstorms.

Boy 1: Well whatever this Monsoon is, I don’t like it! It spoilt our evening.

Everyone: “We don’t like this monsoon! It’s no fun at all”

Everyone puts a sad face and start walking away.

Boy 1: Why don’t you all come to my house? My mom is making some snacks.

Girl 2: Good idea! Let’s go.

Knock Knock

Boy 1: Hi mom! What’s there to eat?

Mom (Girl 3): Veggie cutlets, son!

Girl 2: Wow! These cutlets are really yummy!

Boy 1: Yes Mom, how did you make them so tasty?

Mom: Well, your dad got some fresh vegetables from the market. Do you know that because of the wonderful monsoon we’re having this year, farmers are able to grow really healthy crops and we are getting to enjoy great food!

Girl 1: Oh Wow! So that’s what monsoons are all about! They are really nice!

Boy 2: And, we were just complaining about them!

 

All boys and girls look to the sky and say: Thank you Dear Monsoon! Come again very soon!

Summer Vacation

During my holidays, I went to Paris. It was a pretty city. We saw Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame (a church), and Disneyland. In Disneyland, my dad and I went on a ride called Space Mountain. I closed my eyes because there were so many loops! We also went in a boat which took us to see beautiful bridges on River Seine. It was fun. Our station's name was Glaciere. We would catch a Metro and go to other stations from there.

After a few days, we went to Phoenix, USA. I met my cousins and their dog Simba. He's fun to play with! We all enjoyed hiking and bowling together. I also got to walk Simba to the park.

Next, we went to Hawaii. Everyday me and my brother would go to the beache. I also went to a Polynesian Center. It was fun watching the dances. My hote's name was Hilton. All girls wore flowers in Hawaii. It was hot there!

Next, we came back to Phoenix. I was glad to be in their cosy house. Then we went to New Jersey. I stayed in my friend Shalini's house. We visited our old friends.

Finally we returned to Bangalore. We then went to Tirupati. I met my grandparents. My cousins Aditya and Anjali also came. We all went to Tirumal Hills and stayed in a cottage. We went to the temple there. My brother and Aditya got their heads shaved. After two days, we went back to Tirupati. I said Bye to my grandparents and took my cousins to Bangalore. We watched movies, played games, and went to the park. We also went to Innovative Film City. Aditya, my aunt, and I did pottery. Soon they left. It was a nice holiday and I'm thankful to my parents!
