Lisa's Fluffy


Fluffy the dog

Lisa lives with her dog, Fluffy.

Fluffy never eats anything that costs less than 50 dollars. He has a really expansive taste.
One day Fluffy gets lost. Lisa looks for him everywhere, but she can't find him.
"Fluffy, my friend, you are on your own," she says.
Poor Fluffy walks and walks. He is not sure where to turn, and it is already time for his 4 o'clock snack.

The big gray dog chews something.

Fluffy tries not to stare, but he is really hungry by now.
"What do you want?" The big gray dog asks.
"Hmm, well… Maybe you could give me some food and snacks, and a bath too?"
The dog smiles, "A bath?"
"Yes, a bath. I am tired, and hungry, and dirty," Fluffy answers.
"Well, of course I can. Come into my spa."

The big dog laughs and walks away.

"Wait!" Fluffy barks, "please don't go. I am all alone and I need my snack!" 
Fluffy seems very sad. The big gray dog looks at him and turns back.
"What is your name?" he asks.
"I am Fluffy. And you?"
"I am Bam. Come, I can't offer you a bath, but a shower is a different story."

a hose

Fluffy and Bam walk to a leaking hose, and have a shower.

Bam gives Fluffy some food. At first Fluffy wants to refuse, but he is too hungry.
"So where is your home?" Bam asks.
"I live with Lisa. She takes good care of me. I get snacks, food, a bath…"
"Nice girl." Bam says.
"Yes, she is. I hope to find her. And I hope she doesn't give away my dear dear snacks…"
The two dogs go to sleep under the open sky. Fluffy falls asleep and dreams of snacks having baths.

Rajiyappa loved to play football from his childhood; but unfortunately he was not a good player and no one wanted to take him in the team. He wanted to be a footballer of “Gajendra”, which was the name of the village as well as the local football team and also wanted to win many trophies. His dream remained intangible. Consequently Rajiyappa stopped going to the football ground. He used to climb a tree which was far from the football ground and from there he watched football matches.  Days passed.

Rajiyappa never missed a single football match of his locality. His love for football remained unimpaired....

The fairies started to find that unknown Land of Gold. They were quite sure that they could not execute this impossible task and the Wasp King would punish them. When the sun was touching the horizon, the fairies sat on a cloud. They were ...
