CHEEKY CHIKY
Cheeky Chiky was very upset today. Though
Dusshera and Diwali were nearing, but the
children were not at all showing enthusiasm.
The society had unanimously decided that there
would be no bursting of crackers this year. This was
enough to dampen the spirits of the children.
Wearing new clothes and having yummy sweetmeats
was what they did on every festival, but
Diwali's major fun was in crackers; and the elders
took that away from the kids.
Cute Kate remarked, "The elders never think
about pollution by vehicles and are banning our
'phuljharis'. Don't they know that even their
vehicles cause pollution?"
In the meantime, Aunt Polly arrived there carrying
a big bag over her shoulder.
Aunt Polly took out a beautiful packet from her
bag. To the children's excitement, it contained some
crackers. But, it was not all.Aunt had brought one
more packet! Children saw that there were some
plants in it.
What is the meaning of 'enthusiasm'?
A Sadness
B To lessen
C Great interest
D Crackers
