Dear Kids,

This blog is especially created for you! I'll post small stories, puzzles, jokes, etc. (mainly old ones, occasionally new ones) for you from time to time. This blog is dedicated to three people: (1) My grandpa - Fondly known to all of us as Appappa - who told me so many lovely stories (2) My cousin and friend (Uncle S for you) - who keeps teaching me lots of things that I can do on the computer. (3) My beloved wife (Aunty P for you) - who likes to hear my grandpa's stories from me. Hope you like this blog - Keep visiting! [If you are not a kid (or a kid at heart!!), use this blog to entertain kids known to you!]

Love,
Uncle N

Searching for the key!

Dear Kids,

MULLA SEARCHES FOR HIS LOST KEY!

A man was walking home late one night when he saw the Mulla Nasrudin searching under a street light on hands and knees for something on the ground. "Mulla, what have you lost?" he asked.

"The key to my house," Nasrudin said.

"I'll help you look," the man said.

Soon, both men were down on their knees, looking for the key.

After a number of minutes, the man asked, "Where exactly did you drop it?"

Nasrudin waved his arm back toward the darkness. "Over there, in my house."

The first man jumped up. "Then why are you looking for it here?"

"Because there is more light here than inside my house."


As kids, you must be clear about your goals - If your parents tell you to study hard, if your teacher gives you lots of homework, it is to ensure that all of you achieve all your goals and reach great heights in life. If you behave like the Mulla in the above story, you'll get misguided by short-term pleasures like "Freaking out with pals", "Being cool with the latest video games", etc. The end result: Achieving temporary, short-term pleasures, but losing out on much more important goals in life.

Think about it!!!

Happy reading!

Uncle N
