Don't Worry, Henry
Henry, a cheerful five-year-old boy in India, faces a big problem when he loses his favorite kite in a tree. Feeling defeated, Henry encounters several obstacles while trying to retrieve it. Just when he's about to give up, a wise old man helps him find a solution, teaching Henry the value of wisdom and perseverance.
In a bustling village in India, lived a happy boy named Henry. One sunny day, Henry flew his favorite kite, the one with a big red tail. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the kite into a tall tree. " - Oh no! How will I get my kite back?" Henry cried. The kite was stuck high, and Henry felt a knot in his tummy. He knew he must get it back, but how?
Henry tried to climb the tree, but it was too slippery and tall for his small hands. " - It's too high!" he sighed. Just then, his friend Aarti came by and tried to help. " - Maybe we can use a stick to poke it down," Aarti suggested. But every stick they found was too short. Henry sat down, feeling worried.
Next, Henry and Aarti tried to throw pebbles to knock the kite down. " - Careful!" Aarti said as a pebble nearly hit a bird. But the kite wouldn't budge. A curious monkey in the tree even tried to help, but just swung away with a cheeky grin. Henry's heart sank deeper. " - It's no use," he mumbled.
Henry felt like giving up. He sat under the tree with tears in his eyes. " - I’ll never fly my kite again," he sobbed. Aarti patted his back, unsure of what to say. The world seemed so big and his kite so far away. Henry's heart ached, and he just wanted to go home.
Just then, an old man passing by noticed Henry’s sadness. " - Why so glum, little one?" he asked kindly. Henry explained, and the old man smiled. " - Use your brain, not just your strength," he advised. With a twinkle in his eye, he suggested tying two sticks together. Henry and Aarti tried it, and the kite finally came loose!
With a joyful shout, Henry caught his kite as it floated down. " - Thank you!" he beamed at the old man. The old man winked and waved goodbye. " - I learned something today," Henry said to Aarti. " - Wisdom can solve big problems!" Together, they ran off to fly the kite again, laughter echoing in the village.
