The Later Hour!


Gopal was in 5th standard
He played with his friends a lot
And was behind in studies
So his teacher thought of a remedy.

The school hour was 9 to 5
In which teacher tried to teach
For their students to score
And their parents would not be sour.

At the end of class Gopal played
So every day he waited class to end
When Teacher asked, “Can you
study an hour later tomorrow.”
Gopal replied, “Yeh, sure. See you at 10!”

The Mighty Elephant in Paper!


Gopal was 5years old
His Mom took him to retail store
Where they gave him crayons and paper to occupy
While his Mom shopped away.

Children are a lot creative
What they think that they apply
Gopal had drawn a squiggly mark
When asked told it was mouse.

“Is that your favourite animal”, some one asked
“No, my favourite is an elephant,
Gopal replied, “And I’m
Too small to draw that big!”

Same Feathers on Second Glance


Gopal and his brother were in high school
Their parents sent to them to same school
At night their Mom used to read bed time stories
When they were small children.

Each used to develop an idea
From other one’s thoughts
Which they shared together
Through which they went further.

But now they competed with each other
And one did not care about other
When their Mom asked their teacher
She replied, “They don’t have lot in common!.”

The Gift of Teeth!


Gopal was a young kid
Who played with his friends
One day one of his teeth came lose
And complained to his Mother being afraid.

Children teeth fall when they grow
Only to replace by new teeth
This fact Gopal did not know
And his Mom wanted to make him understand.

Mom said,“God gives as present twice
So you can have your teeth grow free again,
Only if the third time you lose,
You have to pay for them through dentist!”

Healthy Wealth!


Gopal was a school teacher
His students were poor in studies
They had to face common board exam
Gopal wondered how to make them clear the exam.

Some of their parents were farmers
Who put their children in school with great dreams
So Gopal took extra-classes
And kept his fingers crossed.

When the day of result came
To his delight all of the children passed,
And students came to thank him
He said, “I am now one of the richest person than Forbes!”

Elusive Word!


Gopal had an elder brother
Who had finished his studies
And was searching for a job
While his father thought of helping him.

There were many companies
His father knew some one in Dictionary office
So Gopal father told his brother
He had put a word for him there.

That evening while doing home-work
Gopal was searching the dictionary
When his father enquired,
He replied, “He can’t find the word put for his brother!”

Being There, Saving Skin


Gopal was in 8th grade
His uncle took him to army parade
Which he watched with interest
Although he wanted to join the army least.

Indian army is known for bravery
Which guarded the Himalayian border
In severe cold and wind
Our Nation to always defend.

His uncle asked would he wish to join army,
“If I were in army’s music band,”
Gopal replied, “ I ‘d say,
I want to be in mountains too.!”

Fooling For Some Space


Gopal and Sham were friends
They were playing in school ground
Where older children also came to play
Who ordered Gopal to make way.

Gopal was playing with water gun
Which looked like original gun
Sham thought of a plan
And told Gopal to give him the gun.

Sham showed older boys the gun
Being afraid they were on the run
Gopal laughed and said, “This gun is not fatal.”
Sham replied, “But they don’t know that.!”

To Taste First Although Last!



Gopal was in 6th standard
One day was one of his class mat’s birthday
So his classmate distributed sweets
With teacher’s guidance trying to make it neat.

Children are stubborn
And want to be the first
Either to eat sweets or play
Since that is the way they spend time in happy way.

Gopal was last in queue
So evading teacher’s eye
He ran to his classmates, shouting
“Don’t waste time tasting … just swallow!”
