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!

Circle of kindness

Once there was a butterfly named Flutter. She was very kind. One day she was flying around. Suddenly, she saw a little ant carrying a big sack. "Here, why don't I help you?" asked Flutter.'' Thanks alot '' said the ant.
'' Remember,Kindness  is a virtue. Pay it forward."

The next day the ant went strolling. Out of  the corner of his eye he saw a cow moaning. Remembering what Flutter said, he asked "what happened?" "My back is itching," said the cow. "I'll scratch it," said the ant and he did so. "Oh Thank You!" said Enid the cow. "Kindness is a virtue. Pay it forward." said the ant.

In the evening, Enid was munching grass.Suddenly she saw a little puppy crying bitterly. "Waz appin?" she asked with her mouth full of grass. "I am lost" sobbed Cutie the puppy. Feeling sorry for the puppy, Enid asked "where do you live?" "With Mary Ann," said Cutie. "Why! I know her!" exclaimed Enid. So she took Cutie to Mary Ann. "Thanks a lot!" said Cutie. "Kindness is a virtue. Pay it forward." mooed Enid.

The next day, Mary Ann took Cutie on a walk. Suddenly some mean boys came and pushed little Mary Ann into the pool. "Mary Ann!" squealed Cutie and at once went to Mary Ann's rescue. "Gosh! Thanks!" said Mary Ann to Cutie. "Kindness is a virtue. Pay it forward." yelped Cutie wisely.

Next day, Mary Ann again took Cutie for a walk. Then she saw a frog hopping. Suddenly a man came and trapped the poor frog. Mary Ann felt sorry for the little frog. So she boldly told the man "Stop it!" Fortunately, the man was a coward and he ran away. "Thank you!" croaked the frog. "Kindness is a virtue. Pay it forward." said Mary Ann.

In the evening, Froggie went flycatching. Suddenly, he saw poor Flutter stuck in a nasty web. "Oh no! a frog is coming to eat me" murmured Flutter. To his surprise, Froggie said, "don't worry, I will save you", and he carried Flutter out of the web. "Thanks" said Flutter. "Kindness is a virtue" said Froggie, making Flutter blush. "Seems my message passed around in a circle" said Flutter.

Everyone watching immediately shouted "KINDNESS IS A VIRTUEEEEEEE!"






THE END Moral: Be kind to others. Others will be kind to you.

I'm very sorry because I'm starting boarding school. Over there, we have beginning, half, and end of the terms. We have to catch a train to go there. For one year, I won't see my parents!!

"Abby, Abby!" my mom called, "stop day dreaming and come and eat dinner."

"Sure ma, coming!"

I was still worried about the school. I would start day after tomorrow. But I felt a little excited. Probably i will make new friends. I slept in bed dreaming about everything.

The next morning I ate breakfast and went out to play. Suddenly, I saw a girl lookig sad!

"Hi, what happened?" I asked her.

"The day after tomorrow, I will start boarding school!" she answered.

"Me too!" I said, "what ever is your name?"

"Elizabeth Allen. you?"

"Abby Perrywinkle. Oh! let's be friends!"

So we played everyday. One day she got me some sweets. I stared at them in delight! Finally, the day started in boarding school.

You better watch out Abby! And remember to write letters to your parents. In Series number 2, check Abby's boarding school adventures.

Hi, introducing myself. I am Abby Perrywinkle. My friends call me Abby. Yay! my holidays have started!! Tomorrow I will board a flight to Dubai. There are a lot of Muslims over there!


"Abby, Abby!" my mom called, "it is time for bed"


"Oui Mere" (yes mom) I said. (note: Abby lives in Paris and knows French).


I slept soundly. In the morning, it was time to leave. I grabbed my luggage and jumped on the scooter. Buttercup sat on my lap. Soon we left. We then reached the airport. We had a checkin and then were in the flight.


All children were given toys. We are now in the sky. We will land in two hours. We were soon flying. Half hoer over. I watched TV to entertain myself. Soon we reached Dubai.


We took a bus to the hotel. Its name was 4 Points. When we're in the hotel, dad thought let's go to the beach. We quickly changed and left. It was fun playing in the beach. now it was time to go back. We had a nice dinner. I slept soundly.


The next day we had to go to the tallest building in the world Burj Khalifa. We went up to the 124th floor. Soon we went back to Four Points. 


Next day we went to Wild Wadi (waterpark). Me and my dad went on huge water slides. "Hey dad" I said, "let's go on the that big tube!"


We had lots of fun in Dubai. We event went to a play area. But I missed my friends. I remembered Decent Lucy and Funny Rocky Ray. Next day it was time to leave. We took a flight. 


Good old Paris!! I met Lucy and we hugged each other. Tomorrow we will be starting Boarding School!!

Book 8: Graduation Day Adventure

Hi I am Abby! Well you won't believe it! Today is the last day of school. We are going to graduate. We have to wear white costumes and a hat. Right now I'm getting ready. Soon I left.

"Hi Abby! you look so cute!" said Lucy. Me and Lucy sat next to each other in the auditorium. 1st it was first grade's turn to graduate. They sang a song and wished everyone happy holidays.

Suddenly, I heard a soft crash. I quietly slipped outside to see what it was. A tiny trap door outside had been opened. I went inside and crept down the stairs. "This is weird" I thought. I peeped through a hole in the wall to see what was going on.

And to my astonishment, there were burglars!

I went as white as a sheet. I climbed up the stairs. Soon when I told my teacher about this, she told a policeman. The robbers were put in jail.

Right now in the auditorium, my class was going on stage. I also went. First everyone gave opinions on school. Then we held hands and went back in front.

After the graduation was over, in class when my teacher was praising me, Rocky stood up and said "what happened? spill the beans!!"

When my teacher told them the burglar story, they went mad (crazy!). They patted me on the back and threw a party.

You just never know what old Abby is up tooooo!

Book 7: Buttercup's Blues

Hi! I'm Abby! I'm soo excited because tomorrow is my birthday. I am going to invite Rocky, Lucy, Jessie, Sm, Andrea, Max, Lavanya, and many more people. I don't want anyone to feel left out.

Suddenly my mom started to call me. "Abby Abby".

I went up to her. "Can you give these invitations to the people you want to invite?" she asked.

"Ok mom" and so I skipped happily outside. I met a lot of my friends. Soon it was time to go home. I slept dreaming of the party.

The next day it was time! All the guests had come. It was fun playing games and eating. Only one person felt miserable. And that was my kitten Buttercup. She was being left out of everything. I had not noticed that. It was a problem for her. Even while cutting the cake she howled. I didn't hear.

Soon the guests left. Only then I realised about Buttercup. She ran up to me and purred loudly. I hugged her. To show her I was sorry I brought fish and milk. But that dint make her happy. I sat and thought what will make her happy. Then I had an idea. I hugged Buttercup and kissed her. Now she was happy! This was the most problem-solution party I ever had in my life!!!

Book 6: Abby Goes for a Picnic

By: Pratya

Hi, I'm Abby. Today I'm going for a picnic. I'm so excited! I took my pet kitten Buttercup and jumped on the scooter. Soon me and my family left for the picnic. Ah finally! we reached the hill. Then we started eating.

Suddenly, in the corner of my eyes I saw a bluebird crying! I quickly went to it.

"Abby! Abby! where are you?" my parents called.

"Coming!" I answered.
The bluebird had been hurt. So, I carefully helped it. Soon it was alright. It smiled at me and flew away. Then my family and I went home.

That evening, my parents let me go out and play. Suddenly while I was playing I tripped on a rock and fell down. Well, you would think I was crying! Instead, I was laughing. Somebody was helping and tickling me. And who shall that someone be?

No one but the bluebird!

And we became the best animal and human friends!




THE END Problem:  Bluebird was hurt. Then Abby was hurt.
Solution: Abby helped the bird. Then the bird helped Abby.
Moral: Kindness always returns.
