Three Naughty Monkeys

By Harsh Agrawal, Class VII A

Once upon a time, there lived three monkeys. Their names were Harsh, Aditya and Divyansh. Each of them was very poor in studies. They were always scolded by all the teachers. One dark stormy night, a witch appeared suddenly from the dark, dense clouds. The monkeys got extremely scared. The witch took out her magic stick and showed a statue to them. She told them that if they would not study, she would convert them into a statue. But the three of them still continued to trouble the teachers. The next day was the graduation ceremony.

The witch did some magic in the graduation caps that were to be worn by the three monkeys. On the graduation day when the monkeys were wearing the caps two of them turned into statues. Having watched this, the third one did not wear the cap. So, the witch made him a statue using her magical wand. Today also the two monkeys are statues with graduation caps on them and the third one without the graduation cap.
