How the frown became laughter!!!

During the storytelling workshop, Group Story had to be made with the words,

• Pencil
• Cow and;

This is what I came up with.
Pencil, Cow and a Frown

Long ago, so long ago, actually some years back, there was a special school named Jungleeeee. Most of the creatures used to go to Junglee school in order to learn and improve their life and survival skills. The principal of Junglee was a white old cow called MOOoooo. Everyone liked to attend MOO’s classes because she used to teach with lots of interesting stories. This helped all the animals to remember concepts as well as enjoy learning at the Jungleeeee school.

Now, since MOO was very old, she could not read aloud and teach. She had a large white board and a special thin and black pencil named PICHKU. Pichku used to write down everything old MOO softly said to him, on the large board. And then, all the animals used to read from the board and learn everything by themselves.

Everyone was happy until came along a big huge FROWN. Now, Frown was very different from all other creatures. It neither mingled with other animals nor spoke to them. And whenever any animal spoke to Frown, Frown would Frown. This made the other animals feel reluctant to not talk to Frown again. Frown was not attentive in class either. It would not study most of what was taught in the Junglee school. So Frown, would always be scolded by Moo, the cow. This would make Frown, frown more.

Pichku, the pencil, used to watch this and felt sad for Frown. However, he did know why FROWN couldn’t cope in the class and why it was always lonely. One day, Picku decided to talk to Frown and find out the reason.

Pichku thought it would be better to tell a joke to break the ice with Frown.

So Picku looked at Frown and said, "Did you hear the joke about the pencil?"
Frown turned and looked at Pichku and of course, frowned. But then it was curious, so Frown said "No, what’s the joke."Pichku replied "Well, It's pointless.”

Frown got the joke and turned into a smile.
When Pichku noticed that Frown smiled, it got excited.

So then Pichku asked
Now tell me, What do you call a grumpy old cow?
Frown thought for a while, then gave up and frowned and asked “What’s the answer?”
Pichku replied “Moo-dy” (MOOoooo-dy)

Frown turned into a big wide smile.

Pichku now thought, since Frown is smiling it was a good time to ask him.
So Pichku took the courage and asked Frown, “Hey Frown, why don’t you read and study in Moo Cow’s class?”

Frown ‘bent’ its smile and frowned.
It hesitated for a minute and then replied “Well, Pichku, I don’t study because. Because.. I, I am not able to read what you write on the large board. I can’t read, and since I can’t read, I can’t study them”

Picku listened and was silent. It felt said for Frown and didn’t know how to help it.

Pichku went back to Junglee school and thought it would tell Moo about this episode and get some help.

However, Moo, the cow, didn’t feel sad for Frown, and instead she was angry.
She said, “If Frown doesn’t know to read, maybe he should leave Junglee school and go to some other school to learn where they teach creatures with such problems. We don’t keep such weak creatures in Junglee school.”

Pichku felt very bad and didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, it thought of something and suggested that to Moo. Moo at first, didn’t agree. But after continuous persistence by Pichku, Moo agreed.

So in the next day, at Junglee school, when all the creature gathered to learn, Pichku went and took his position near the board and looked at Frown, who sat in a corner, frowning.

As the class started, Moo, her usual self, softly spoke to Pichku.

Pichku wrote whatever Moo told it and to everyone’s surprise, started reading aloud everything it wrote.

Suddenly, Frown became attentive and began listening in the class. As it kept listening, Frown began to understand what was being taught in the class since Pichku explained everything. Frown slowly started to change into a smile.

Smile listened attentively and began to study properly since it understood everything what was being taught. Smile even started doing better than other creatures in the life and survival skills at Jungleeeee.

As time went by, with more confidence in itself, smile turned into laughter.

Laughter would go around telling the jokes and make Pichku write them on the board to delight all the other creatures and even old Moo enjoyed being with laughter.

Now that’s the story of the Pencil, Cow and Frown who became laughter.

So, whenever you see a cow chewing its mouth, remember that it could actually be softly speaking to a pencil, to turn the frown into laughter.
