Hi, I am Sparky, a Squirrel. I live on a huge
Banyan tree on one of the many islands of a river that flows by gently all through
the year. I spend my time eating fruits and nuts, playing with my friends, and
writing ‘Sparky’s World’, a weekly Magazine which the residents of the Banyan
enjoy reading.
I report on the various happenings in and around the Banyan and also set lots of riddles and activities for the readers.
Now, for the top news of the week:
I report on the various happenings in and around the Banyan and also set lots of riddles and activities for the readers.
Now, for the top news of the week:
Ø The weather has been most
undecided. I understand that winter’s making way for summer but that doesn’t
mean it can be winter one hour and summer the next.
Ø The Birds’ Welfare Association
leader, Madame 'Not-So-Common' Coot, says if the weather does not make up its mind soon, they
will all go on a strike.
Ø Mr. Goldback, the leader of
the Monkeys says they are tired of packing away the blankets for the season
only to be unpacking it again. He says they have formed a committee that is
investigating into this entire affair of unsettled weather and the initial
findings are that humans are somewhere behind this. The final report is
awaited.
Ø The Crows from the city who
are visiting their cousins in the tree are a most noisy lot, cawing from dawn
to late after sun-down. As the residents complained, the hosts have tried to
get them to caw softly but apparently they are so used to cawing at the top of
their voice to be able to be heard in the noisy city that it has been a losing
battle for both the Banyan Crows and the other residents all of whom are
waiting for their departure.
I had planned to write an
article on how different the City Crows are from the Crows of the Banyan.
Wanting to make their acquaintance, I had approached them yesterday and had given
my Magazines to the visitors. We had a couple of hours of peace while they read
the Magazines and solved the puzzles but soon they were cawing louder than
ever, comparing answers. Many of you blame me for the increase in their
activity and I would want you all to know that I have dropped the idea of that
article and am just as eagerly as you all, awaiting their departure.
That’s
all the news for the week, folks. Now, for some activities to keep you all busy
for a while.
