A Cursed House

Once upon a time, in a small house in the forest, there was a couple living with their two daughters, Nami and Angela. The older sister Nami was very lazy and spent all day hanging out. Angela was very hard-working and cared about everyone.

One day, the father went to the forest to cut firewood. He told his wife and children," I'll go cut firewood now. Please prepare a delicious meal and bring it to the forest for me."

Mother said, “I’ll ask Nami to bring lunch to you."

Father said, “The path there is confusing. I will spread the peas along the way so she can find me."

At noon, Nami brought rice to the forest for her father. Along the way she saw a lot of peas that her father had left. She thought she could found her father easily with peas that were spread on the way.

So she decided to walk slowly and enjoy the forest. Nami wandered around and had a lot of fun. She was distracted by the beauty of the forest, so she forgot her job. She didn't even realize that the birds ate all of the peas.

It was dark and she couldn't found the peas that her father had left. Nami tried to find her way in the dark. She followed a glimmer of light and found a small house in the middle of the forest. She approached and knocked on the door, and then she heard a voice, "Come in!”

Nami walked in the house and saw an old man sitting next to the fire. There were also three animals, a dog, a rooster and a hen.

The old man asked, “Who are you? Why are you wandering through the forest?”

Nami said, “Sir, I was lost on the way to bring lunch to my father. Could you please allow me to stay for a night?”

The old man asked his pets whether he should allow Nami to stay a night in this house or not. The pets shook their heads in favor of Nami.

The old man said to Nami, “We will let you sleep here for one night. There is a lot of food in the kitchen, please go and cook dinner for all of us!"

Nami was very happy. She went to the kitchen and saw a lot of food there. But she was lazy; Nami only cooked a small pot of soup. Nami brought the soup to the living room to eat with old man .But she forgot to cook for the animals, leaving them hungry. They were all very sad about the girl's carelessness.

After having the soup. She said to old man, “Sir, I'm tired now, I just want to go to sleep. Please show me where the bedroom is."

Old man said, “There are two bedrooms here. Please go clean them up and make the bed for me as well, I'll come late.” Nami obeyed the old man, she went upstairs. There were two rooms. She went into one of that room and cleaned a bed for herself. She was lazy; she didn't clean the bed for the old man. She just lay down and slept without making the bed for the old man.

By the time the old man went into his room, he found the bed still dusty and messy. He sighs and said to himself, “well, this is not the girl that I'm looking for! She is very lazy and disrespectful."

The old man snapped his fingers. Suddenly the bed, where Nami was sleeping, split into two pieces. She fell down and disappeared, and then the bed returned to normal.

Later the day, when the woodcutter returned home, he complained to his wife, “I have been starving all day today."

Wife said, “I told Nami to bring food to you. She must have wandered around and went to his aunt house. This careless girl!”

Father said, “Tomorrow, I will go the forest again. Tell Angela to bring food to me."

The next day, Angela went to the forest to bring food to her father. Unlike her sister Nami, she followed her father's path very carefully. She reached her father in half an hour. The father was very happy to see her daughter, Angela. 

Angela said, “Hello! Father, mother had cooked a very delicious meal for you. Now, I must leave, It's already getting dark."

Father said, “Yes, You should leave and thank you for this meal."

After saying goodbye to her father she started walking back to her house. But, the birds had eaten all the peas in the way. It was very difficult for her to find her way back home. She was lost and it was dark everywhere around.

Angela followed a glimmer of light. She found a small house in the middle of the forest. She approached and knocked on the door.

She said, “Is there anyone here?”

She listened a voice, “Come in!”

Angela went inside, and she saw the old man sitting in front of the fire with three pets.

The Old man said, “Who are you? Why are you lost here?"

She said," Sir, my name is Angela. I was coming back home after giving lunch to my father, and I got lost. Could you please allow me to sleep here for one night?”

As usual, the old man asked the three animals beside him.

He said, " Hey hen, rooster and dog, what do you think?”

They said," Master, we are fine with that!”

The old man said, “We will let you sleep here for one night. There is a lot of food in the kitchen, please go and cook dinner for all of us!”

Angela obeyed him and went to the kitchen. She saw lots of good ingredients there. She decided to cook some delicious dishes to thank old man and for the pets for letting her stay. Then, Angela cooked a lot of delicious dishes. The old man and the animals were very hungry just by the smell. Angela invited the old man to enjoy the meal first and then went to feed the three animals. They happily thanked her. After that, she sat down to eat with the old man.

Once every one had finished eating, Angela suggested, "We have finished the meal. Shall we get some rest now?”

The old man said to his pets, "Hey hen, rooster and dog, what do you think?"

They said, “She treats us very well. Thank you very much! Have a goodnight!”

The old man said to Angela, “There are two bedrooms in the house. Please go clean up and make the bed for me as well. I'll be right up".

Angela obeyed the old man. She carefully cleaned up and made the bed in both bedrooms. After the old man went to bed, she went back her room to sleep. That night she slept very well.

The next morning, she woke up early. Angela was very surprised to find herself in a luxurious and beautiful room. Suddenly, three servants entered the room. They politely asked her, “You are awake madam. Do you need anything?”

She was still surprised, she said, “No, I have to get up to make breakfast for the old man and three friendly animals.

The servants said, “You don't have to do anything anymore, mam. Our master is waiting for you, Ma'am".

Following the servants instructions, Angela went into a room. She was surprised to see a young handsome man waiting for her.

That man said to Angela, “I am Prince Garry, the owner of this castle. I was cursed by a witch so I became very old. The castle also turned into a small house and my three loyal servants turned into pets. The witch had said only a caring and responsible girl can lift this curse. So, I thank you for helping me."

Angela was very happy after listening this. The prince then said, “When the castle was cursed, there came a girl named Nami, who was lost in the forest. She was lazy and irresponsible."

Angela at once said, “She is my sister. Where is she, now?”

Prince said, “Don’t worry. Your sister is fast asleep in the room. My servant will go wake her up."

Then prince asked Angela that If she would marry him. Angela accepted the proposal of the prince. They welcomed Angela's parents in the castle and held a grand wedding in the castle.

We should take care of the people around us.
We should be kind and respectful.

How to Improve Your Child's Ability to Communicate and Interact with Others
How to Improve Your Child's Ability to Communicate and Interact with Others
Children begin to learn certain sounds immediately after birth. They will cry, coo, and gurgle until they are around one year old when they will likely pronounce their first word. As your infant becomes a toddler, you will have a great deal of work to help them learn the language and get along with others. Toddlers are adept at observing and mimicking what they see, so you must be mindful of your speech and movement. To assist your toddler in reaching developmental milestones, you must first recognize that every kid develops and learns at a different rate. When your child is ready to start talking, the following will help them acquire new words and interact with others: Encourage infants to play Most toddlers are naturally playful, which is beneficial since it is the greatest method for them to develop, learn, and discover the world. You have more opportunities to chat and listen when your kid plays more. You'll be astonished by how fast they learn if you continue to converse with them and have fun while repeating words. For a game to be effective, your child must communicate and engage with other children. If you play with your kid often while they are small, they are likely to use humorous language by age three. Keep in mind that it might be difficult for toddlers to attempt to communicate with you but not be able to do so. Instead of sometimes correcting them, try encouraging them. Adequate Television Involvement You may show your infant television images and noises as a means of communication. Unless your infant is playing with you or engaging in conversation, it is best not to allow them to watch television. Ensure your youngster watches no more than one to two hours of television daily. Otherwise, they may become couch potatoes. Also, monitor what your child views on television since it may form their personality. In this digital era, when practically every parent has a TV and internet subscription, the only thing you can do for your kid is choosing age-appropriate entertainment. If your kid is exposed to unhelpful or cruel information, it might make them more aggressive and hinder their ability to get along with others. Thanks to the Internet, you can choose which programs your youngster should watch. Your youngster may also see various stuff on social networking sites. It is safer than allowing kids to view stuff you cannot control. Dialog with your youngster When your young child speaks to you, you should not repeat what they say. Instead, communicate with them as if they were adults. It may sound odd, but it gives your youngster more words to learn, enhancing their vocabulary. When you get home from work, give your child a warm embrace and inquire about their day. Then describe your day to them. There will undoubtedly be some back-and-forth, but you can be assured that someone is listening. If you do not communicate with your kid, you may see them leading a monotonous, lonely existence, which might damage other crucial phases of their growth. They will have little to say because they hear little. It will help if you read aloud to them No of the age of your kid, you should spend a great deal of time reading to them. As kids mature, they go from basic tales to more complex ones. The time they spend together will teach them how to get along with others, and the noises you make while reading will be remembered. Picture books are wonderful for young children since they are colorful and entertaining. They will keep your youngster engaged and assist them in learning a large number of new words. If a youngster read a book daily, their vocabulary will increase by up to 1,400,000 words compared to those who do not. Purchase Animal Toys Plastic or wooden animal toys may be bought at baby shops. The toys are entertaining and inspire your youngster to play in novel ways. You may even use sign language to assist your infant in learning new words. Teaching your child the names and sounds of many animals is enjoyable. They will likely pay attention if you shout out the name and sound of each animal toy. Repeat until your youngster can identify the creatures alone. Children Must Acquire Valuable Social Skills With strong social skills, children can get along with their classmates. Your kid cannot acquire all these talents at once, so be patient and assist them while they develop in other areas. You should not expect your youngster to possess or fast acquire these talents. It will need time and effort to reach the goal. A Montessori daycare is another setting where these skills may be learned.   How Empathy Allows Young Children to Develop Social Skills Every parent must assist their kid in building habits early in life. Understanding and caring about other people's experiences is empathy. Helping your toddler develop empathy will provide them with a solid foundation for the social and emotional abilities they will need for life. You must demonstrate concern for others to educate your kid to care for others. The more you repeat these actions, the more probable your child will remember them. Instead of penalizing your child if they bully other children, try to comprehend how the other children feel. If your kid has difficult periods of frustration and fury, do not attempt to solve the situation to save them the suffering. Even if you cause somebody to feel awful, it is essential to recognize their suffering and express your concern. Your youngster will know that these occurrences are common and that they should care when they occur to others. Findings To assist your child in acquiring more vocabulary and communicating with people, you must expose them to the outside world. Many parents commit the error of keeping their children too isolated from others. Your youngster should encounter as many individuals as possible in a secure setting. It helps kids learn rapidly and develop the social skills necessary.

A Guide to Teaching Your Children the Names of the Different Colors
A Guide to Teaching Your Children the Names of the Different Colors
Children can see colors from an early age. When a child is 18 years old, parents can teach them about colors. Even 18-month-old babies may not be able to speak, but they can easily point to them if they know what colors are. People think that learning and naming are important steps in the process of getting smarter. Your brain can connect what you see and hear when you can tell colors apart. Because of this, it is very important to start teaching kids about colors when they are young. How to Use Everyday Activities to Teach Colors The best way to help kids remember what they learned in preschool is to teach colors as they go about their daily lives. So, most of their toys are brightly colored because of this. To start teaching them colors, show them something, like a ball, and say the object's name and the word for its color. So, instead of saying, "This is red," you could say, "This is a ball, and its color is red." Different colored balls can be used to do the same thing. Also, it's important to keep in mind that children learn to understand language before they can talk. Before they could name a color, children could point to it. Therefore, you may tell your kid to gather all the toys of the same color and place them together when they want to play. Stick to red, yellow, blue, black, and white as your main colors. In the future, more colors can be added. Giving each color its own time is another good way to do this. The green or yellow week is a great way to learn about colors gradually. You could wear the same color of clothes, paint with the same color, or play with toys that are the same color every week. Children learn best via hands-on experiences, so encouraging them to explore colors through all of their senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch will aid in their learning. 10 Easy Ways to Help Preschoolers Learn Colors These fun ways to teach colors to preschoolers could help you teach your child about colors in a way that will stick with them. Playing with clay In kindergarten, modeling clay activities can teach kids about colors. Clay is both fun and hard to work with. Children can learn to recognize and use the same color to make different things. They can also try putting together different colors to see what happens. Activities to Match Colors Matching games with colors are a great way to teach young children about colors. You can use any cardboard to make colored cards. Set them on the floor or table and tell your child to pick the ones that go together. You can do the same thing with colored blocks or balls, but you should use a different color daily. Paint with your fingers For kids ages 2 to 3, finger painting is a fun way to learn about colors. Kids are old enough to paint with colors at that age, and you can start with just one color daily. Let them color while they tell you the color. Playing "I Spy" Let the kids look around the house for things of different colors as they play "I Spy." Play this game with a book where colored sheets are hidden on different pages. Jigsaw puzzle with colors Make a simple jigsaw puzzle with strips of the same color of cardboard and let the kids put together pieces of the same color. The Hunt for Treasure Hide something in a different-colored play pit and let the kids find it by digging up the blocks that are the same color. You can also hide small blocks of different colors in a bucket of sand. Color Fishing game Cut fish shapes out of different colored pieces of cardboard. On the back of each cutout, glue a magnetic strip. Then, glue a thread to the end of a stick. On the thread's opposite end, delicately attach a magnet. Let their child move around while fishing to catch all the fish in the day's color.   Coloring Books The best method for kids to learn colors is via coloring books. Ask your child what color crayon he used on each page when he is done coloring. Days of Color Wear a shirt of the same color on several days of the week. It might be yellow on Monday, red on Tuesday, green on Wednesday, etc. Use toys that are the day's color on certain days. Ribbon-Twirling Party stores sell colored streamers that are great for ribbon dances. The kids can have a lot of fun dancing with their different-colored streamers. Your child can learn about colors in a fun way by playing these games. To start, show your child bright colors. Children are drawn to things that are bright and shiny. Then you can show him different colors. Use everyday things to teach your child about shapes, colors, and sizes. Your child will learn more about colors, shapes, and sizes. On top of that, you can help your child learn more by giving them hands-on learning packages. These kits have exercises that will help him improve his other skills and teach him something new daily.

Wheels on the Bus Song Lyrics
Wheels on the Bus Song Lyrics
"The Wheels on the Bus" is a traditional American folk song that has been a staple in early childhood education for decades. Its origins, like many folk songs, are somewhat murky, but its repetitive and interactive nature has made it a favorite among children and educators alike. The song is believed to have been written in the United States in the mid-20th century. Its tune is based on a traditional British song called "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush, " which has a similar repetitive structure and melody. The transformation from a song about a mulberry bush to one about a bus is a testament to the adaptability of folk music to modern contexts. "The Wheels on the Bus" is not just a song; it's also an activity. As children sing about the bus's wheels going "round and round" or the wipers going "swish swish swish, " they often mimic the actions with hand movements or full-body motions, turning the song into a lively participatory experience. Over the years, the song has been adapted and expanded upon, with countless verses being added to describe various actions on the bus, from the horn honking to the children chatting. Its universal theme of a bus journey and its catchy, repetitive melody have made "The Wheels on the Bus" a beloved song in many countries, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers. In summary, "The Wheels on the Bus" is a relatively modern addition to the canon of traditional children's songs, but its widespread popularity and adaptability have ensured its place as a timeless classic in children's music.
