Conversations with my grandson- A toy story

I will periodically be writing to my grandson to share my thoughts and views on life in general and his life in particular. I look forward to these conversations to keep in touch with the younger generation in my dotage.! And of course Nikhils views are important too and I shall publish them whenever he deigns to share them with me! Hopefully these memories will remain and remind little nikhil of his dada when he is no longer around!

 Here is a story for his bedtime reading

Once upon a time there lived a young man. He worked very hard. But he was lonely since he was far away from his hometown of delhi in india.Then one day he met a beautififul girl in far away vietnam and fell in love with her. They got married and were very happy.

Soon they felt they needed another person to share their happiness. So they decided to have a baby.if it is a girl, Mama said she can help me in the house and in cooking. If it is a boy said papa I can play football with him and read books together. So they had a baby and surprise surprise it was a little baby boy. They loved  him because he was such a  sweet boy and bundles full of energy.

They bought him a lot of toys because they loved him so much and because he was such a good boy.

One day they were in a mall and nikhil, for that was the boys name, saw a few babies crying. He asked his papa why they were crying and his papa told him that perhaps they no papas and so no toys.

Nikhil wanted to give his toys to them. Nikhil,you see was a very kind hearted and generous boy.

So when they came home  nikhil started to put some of his toys in a separate basket. He went to his mama and said why don't we give these toys to children who have none.

So one day they all went to an orphanage and donated a basket full of toys to children who had none.

From that day onward nikhil and his parents made a donation of toys to needy children every year.

And they were all joyful  that so  many more children would have toys too. For you see kindness is its own reward. And our ancients remind us that we must always help those weaker and needier around us.

And they lived happily ever after.
