By Vasudha Gupta, Class VII B
Once, the goddess of intelligence was growing old and weak. She started thinking about the next heir to the throne of intelligence who would occupy her position in heaven as she did not have a child. So, she decided to take a person from the human world. After months of hardwork, she finally found twins Judy and Garnet, who were both intelligent and suitable for the position. She did not want her successor to be overconfident or arrogant. And, since only one could be the next goddess, she prepared a test for the twins.
One night when the twins were asleep, at exacly 4 am, the goddess of intelligence gave the twins a similar dream. In the dream, they saw that they would fail in the coming set of exams. This dream woke the twins in a shock. When they discovered that it was only 4 am, they were further worried. It is believed that a 4 am dream always comes true.
Garnet immediately put all thoughts aside and started preparing for the test. But Judy said, ‘What a sissy! It was just a dream. You are intelligent enough to know that. There’s no need to worry.’
The result was obvious. The goddess had dilemma further. She decided that it would be Garnet who would inherit the throne of intelligence. She had earned it, hadn’t she?
