Advaith Krishnan, Class VI G
The sun was bright. The birds were chirping merrily. It was late in the morning. ‘Hmm’, said Mr. Brown, the bear, yawning.
‘Bright morning. Might be able to get some breakfast.’
He came out of his cave. Mrs. White, his neighbor was also up and swimming in her pond. Mrs. White was a swan. She said, ‘Good morning Mr. Brown.’
‘Why is my name Mr. Brown? After all, I am a black bear. Shouldn’t my name be Mr. Black? That would have been so appropriate.’
Lost in these thoughts, he ignored Mrs. White. As he walked, still musing, he did not notice that the grass had cleared to a smooth black surface. Suddenly, a giant monster with glowing eyes and shiny scales came charging towards him.
Mr. Brown was not one to be scared by these antics. He had heard about these monsters from his uncle. He thought, ‘Maybe I should challenge it to a duel. I would be the first to defeat a monster.’
Mr. Brown roared loudly. The monster also responded with a high-pitched yell. Mr. Brown believed that the monster had accepted his challenge and ran towards it. He gave the monster a strong blow. The monster stopped with a shudder and many fruits fell from its head.
‘Hmm. Looks like it surrenders and is pleading me to stop. That’s why it is offering me fruits. Well, I’ve got my breakfast.’ Mr. Brown picked up those fruits and left looking for a nice spot to enjoy his meal.
A human came out of the car and after inspecting it, said, “That bear broke my headlight. It also took away our picnic food.”
