There once was a little girl named Pam. She loved charity
and helping the needy. Everyone loved her and she had
lots of friends. Soon it was Christmas eve. Pam and her
family were busy buying gifts, cakes and decorating
the tree. While Pam was returning after shopping she
saw two boys standing outside a bakery staring at the
displayed cakes. They wanted to buy them but could
not. Pam decided to follow them to their house. When
she reached their house, she saw the boys playing
happily with some shabby pieces of cardboard and their
mother was trying to clean the house before Christmas.
Nobody was sad in their house. Everyone was happy
and cheerful. Pam thought, “While we are busy buying
gifts and cakes, we do not know that there are people
around us who live in dire poverty. They cannot even
afford to buy a simple plum cake or a small toy.” Early
next morning, Pam went to the boy’s house. She was
very happy to see the boys playing with the toys and
eating the cake. Their mother was also a part of their
games. That day Pam learnt a new lesson, Christmas or
any other festival is not just for celebrating, but also to
spread joy and happiness.

Once upon a time there lived a lovely couple with two
beautiful daughters, Linda and Susie. As they were living
in an old broken house, they decided to build a new house
and shift into it. The house was beautiful with a small
garden in the front. They decorated their home with a lot
of love and put up a swing in the garden on a huge tree.
Susie and Linda loved to play in the garden and used to
swing till late evening every day after school.
One night, Linda looked out of the window and saw a boy
of her age sitting on the swing who, suddenly disappeared
right in front of her eyes. She, immediately, tried to wake
up Susie. But, Susie said that she didn’t see anybody and
went back to sleep. Linda couldn’t sleep. She was unable
to forget the boy.
The next day, at breakfast, Linda narrated her scary story
but nobody believed her. But, believe it or not, there were
strange things going on in the house. There were frying pans
flying out of the window, lights going off and on, windows
going open and shut, even Susie’s Maths homework was
completed before she could even touch her book.

One night, Linda, Susie and their father decided to stay
awake late night to check out if there really was a ghost!!
In the middle of the night, they saw a little boy tiptoe to
Susie’s bag and pull out her Maths notebook. As soon as
they made even the slightest move he disappeared into
thin air. They called out for him and assured him that they
weren’t going to hurt him. They, suddenly, could hear a sob
and the little boy narrated his story. He was Henry who
studied in the same school as Linda and Susie. He loved
Maths and would always top the class for all the exams. But,
one day he died of an illness just before he could give the
sixth standard Maths final exam and so couldn’t score the
highest mark again. So, Susie, Linda and Henry, the ghost,
and father went to meet Henry’s teacher. They explained
everything to her. After a lot of explanation, she agreed
to let Henry write the Maths exam and he scored 100%.
Henry danced with joy. He bid Linda and Susie farewell
and went into another world up above. Susie, Linda and
their parents lived happily ever after. Susie would always
remember Henry whenever she did her Maths homework.
