Bed Time Story

In the quaint and tiny village called Padpadganj, there resided four delightful children named Avika, Chirant, Norah, and Ezra. These children were not only obedient but also playful, nurturing their bodies with wholesome food, embracing learning, enjoying restful sleep, and sharing endless joy in their playful activities. However, their village was also home to a mischievous troublemaker child named Gadgadganj, who delighted in causing mischief and fear among the children.

Gadgadganj would occasionally push Norah while drinking her milk, causing the hot liquid to spill and occasionally resulting in discomfort and minor injuries for her.

Feeling helpless, the children turned to their wise and brave friend, Ethan Amitabh Satpathy, who was known for his intelligence and mastery of self-defense. Upon hearing their plea, Ethan Amitabh vowed to assist them and devised a plan to teach Gadgadganj a lesson. Though Norah was initially scared, Ethan reassured her of her safety.

As the plan unfolded, Norah was drinking her milk one morning when Gadgadganj approached her with ill intentions. However, in a heroic act, Ethan Amitabh swiftly intervened, pushing the mischievous child aside and delivering a powerful kick that left Gadgadganj writhing in pain. Ethan sternly warned him to never disturb their peace again, and Gadgadganj fled, vowing never to return to the village.

While it may not be a masterpiece, credit must be given to your Papa for conjuring this story in no time. It entertained you, especially with the amusing names of Padpadganj and Gadgadganj that we playfully pronounced together in many ways.
