(Kids Stories)
once a town mouse visited his cousin a country mouse for lunch welcome cousin it is so good to see you they enjoyed a simple meal of fresh chicken weed stock and refreshing cold water after that the mice sat for hours and told each other stories from their lives.
when it was night time they slept under
the starry sky
and were awakened by the gentle warmth
of the morning sun
they continued talking over breakfast
till it was time for the town mouse to
leave
cousin thank you for the lovely time
why don’t you come with me and spend
time in the town with me
the country mouse was so impressed
with the stories she had heard of the
life
in the town that she readily agreed
and left with her cousin
(Kids Stories)
by the time they reached the town
mouse’s
house in the town it was afternoon
and they were both very hungry
the country mouse smelled lovely aroma
of the food left over in the dining room
where humans had just finished their
lunch
(Kids Stories)
the hungry country mouse dashed towards
it
immediately when the town mouse called
out
cousin watch out for the cat
meow
(Kids Stories)
the country mouse carried back to the
hole
in the wall where the town mouse’s house
was
once the cat was gone the country mouse
tried to make its way
to the food again
no no wait for the servants and the
house dog
[Music]the country mouse once again rushed back
into the hole in the wall
as it saw a parade of servants followed
by the house dog
come in and clear the table
(Kids Stories)
the country mouse picked up his hat
and bag cousin
i’m very happy for your cozy luxurious
town life
but i am happy in my humble country life
where there may be simple food but at
least
i can enjoy it at my will and with
security
and so the country mouse returned to her
home
no longer feeling envious of her cousin
[Music]so you see tofu miss peters might be
offering me
money but i am happy with my life
the way it is oh dear
you are the best you always know the
right thing to do
(Kids Stories)
[Applause]tia today i’m very happy
i met one of my friends who was acting
all greedy and selfish in class
so i told him the story of the pied
piper
of hamelin and he soon understood the
lesson
really tofu
i haven’t heard this one i would love to
hear it from you
the pied piper of hamelin
once upon a time there was a town named
hamelin
the town was beautiful bustling with
energy
and wealth
(Kids Stories)
but no sooner the happiness of the town
was ruined by a plague
plague of rats
there were rats everywhere
so much so that the people of the town
didn’t even have a place to keep a step
without tripping over the rats
there were rats of every size shape
every age and color
nothing worked as a remedy
[Music]not even the cats were able to control
the plague of rats
giving up the authorities decided to
announce a reward of
10 bags of gold to anyone who could
help to get rid of the rats
one day a strange looking man
came to the town he was dressed
in the traditional dress but all red in
color
with a long peculiar nose and
big wide eyes he adorned his head
with a feather in his hat
he went to the authorities and said
ah i have a solution for your problem
i assure you that not a single
rat would live in this beautiful town
but i want 10 gold bags that you have
promised as prize the authorities were
not very sure
of his commitment but still allowed him
to give it a try as they had no other
option
soon the strange-looking man took out
a pied piper from his pocket and started
playing
a very strange tune
within no time all the rats started
coming out
and following him
from every nook and corner of the town
so many rats came out
that the whole street was filled with
them
(Kids Stories)
very strangely the rats started
following the
pied piper who was playing the strangest
tune
ever heard
[Music]the pied piper took them to the town’s
river
and entered into it
in no time all the rats mesmerized by
his tune
fell into the river and drowned
(Kids Stories)
there were rejoices in the town
celebrations
all over
soon the pied piper went to the
authorities to claim his prize money
[Music]but since their work was done and they
thought that
this plague would never return they shun
him off
and asked him to leave without giving
him a single penny
what selfish people are these i did them
a favor
freed them from such a bad epidemic
and all they could care was to be greedy
and ungrateful
now look how i will teach these selfish
people a lesson
the pied piper took out his pipe once
again
and started playing another strange tune
[Music]a tune that no one had ever
heard before
[Music]in no time all the children of the town
mesmerized by the music started
following the pie
piper
[Music]the children were so lost in his tune
that they didn’t realize that they have
come out
to the outskirts of the town
the piled piper took them to a cave
(Kids Stories)
and let them in
he kept playing the tune till all the
children were inside the cave
he then closed the cave with a huge
stone
only two kids were left in the entire
town
a boy who was hard of hearing
and a girl who had hurt her legs so
badly
that she couldn’t keep up the pace with
the rest of the kids
these two kids went back
[Music]and told their parents about the pied
piper
and how he lowered all the children into
the cave
soon the authorities went begging to the
pie
piper and requested him to let the
children
out this time they promised to reward
him
with 20 gold bags
i don’t trust you any longer i want my
prize money beforehand
soon he was handed over his prize money
and he left never to be seen again
the children were freed from the cave
and the parents hugged them and cried
watching this the authorities said we
surely have learnt
a lesson this man came out of nowhere
and saved us from an epidemic
all that we did in return was to be
selfish
and ungrateful he surely taught us a
lesson
of not to be greedy and selfish
that night the town rejoiced
and celebrated like a festival
it’s still said that in the town of
hamelin
if you ever go and listen carefully
you might hear the beautiful sound
of the pied piper
[Music]tofu i’m so proud of you
you must be a little naughty but you
surely
are a good boy
(Kids Stories)
[Music]hey tofu oh hey tia
your friends didn’t stay oh no
they were just talking about how much
fun they had today
pulling ken’s leg ken
isn’t he the new boy who joined school
yes he the smallest amongst all
everybody is taller than him so it is
easy to pick on him
hmm just like the ant is it
the ant yes
[Music]the elephant and the ant
once upon a time there lived a huge
elephant
in a jungle
(Kids Stories)
because he was so much bigger than all
the other animals
he always troubled them
in the same jungle there lived a family
of
[Music]ants
[Music]they were a hard-working family who
always kept to themselves
[Music]in the day they would go to gather food
[Music]one day as they were going
the big mean elephant threw water on
them
hey what’s the matter with you
why do you keep troubling others
oh shut up you tiny and
one more word out of you and i will walk
all over you
and kill you the little ant had no
choice it kept quiet and went
on its way
[Music]you shouldn’t pick a fight with the
elephant
he is very ill-tempered and very
very strong he could crush you
[Music]hmm something needs to be done about it
(Kids Stories)
the next day when the ants were going to
work
[Music]the tiny ant decided to teach the
elephant
a lesson
she quietly climbed onto the elephant
and made its way to the elephant’s trunk
[Music]and entered it
[Music]once inside she started biting the
elephant
[Music]oh that hurts
the elephant tried everything but it
couldn’t
get the ant to stop biting him
or come out of its trunk such a
big elephant became useless in front of
the tiny
ant
please stop ah stop it now
[Music]well i hope now you know how others feel
when you hurt them
yes i do please please stop now
very well then and so the ant
stopped biting the elephant and came out
of its trunk
i am sorry i have understood how bad
i made others feel i promise i will
never
ever do it again
(Kids Stories)
oh oh what tofu
[Music]i understand what we were doing wrong
you do yes
we shouldn’t make fun of ken just
because he’s smaller than
us all i’m glad you realized that tofu
yes and i am going to apologize to ken
the first thing tomorrow and get others
to do the same
too thank you tia for teaching me this
[Music]what is the matter tofu i
wanted to be the class leader tia
but i didn’t win the poetry contest last
week
and today i accidentally dropped the
fish bowl and it broke
my teacher had to put the class fish
into plastic bags
and take them home oh
yes i’m sure
i won’t become the class leader now
i’m sure no one in class likes me now
i understand why you feel like that tofu
but don’t lose hope even the worst
situations can lead to something
nice i don’t think that can ever happen
tia
well it happened to the musicians of
bremen
musicians of brimmin what happened to
them
[Music]musicians of bremen
[Music]once upon a time a man had a donkey
when the donkey grew old and sick
the man decided to kill him and sell his
skin
[Music]the donkey understood his master’s plans
and ran away and took the road to bremen
i will go to bremen and become a
[Music]musician
[Music]on his way he saw an old dog
lying in the grass
[Music]donk what are you doing here
i have become so old i cannot gather the
sheep for my master like i used to
so my master beats me
why don’t you come with me to brimming
we will become musicians there
the dog agreed and the two new friends
continued their journey
[Applause]in some time they came upon a cat
sitting by the road
looking like the skies were about to
come down on him
cat what’s wrong with you
why do you look so sullen
it is my mistress i have grown old
and cannot chase the mice like i used to
so she has planned to get rid of me by
drowning me
in the river oh
that’s not nice i have an idea
the donkey and i are going to briment to
become musicians
why don’t you join us you can sing a
jolly tune too
the cat liked the idea very much and
made his escape
with his two new friends
they had only walked a while when they
came upon
a he was singing
without a stop
what is wrong with you
this is not the off for you to sing
well my mistress is having a big dinner
party over
and she has instructed the cook to cook
me
for a soup my head will be cut
off this evening so i’m singing till my
neck and throat are intact
is that it we all are going to bremen to
become musicians
why don’t you come with us after all
you already know beats and teams and so
the party set forth on their journey to
bremen
which was still very far
as night fell they felt tired and hungry
(Kids Stories)
we must find a spot to eat and rest for
the night
everybody agreed and they decided to
look for a place to spend the night
[Music]in some time they came upon a lonely
house its lights were lit
and they could hear the sounds of a
gathering
from inside
[Music]the cat climbed up a tree and peeped in
from an open window
it is a gang of robbers and they have
delicious bread of meats and drinks
before them
i could use a couple of bones with some
meat right now
and i could with something to drink
my throat is parched
let us find a way to drive the robbers
away
the four friends huddled together
and at last came up with a plan to drive
the robbers away
the donkey put his front feet on the
ledge of the window
and the dog climbed over his back
the cat climbed on the dog and the
flew on the top of the cat’s head
once they were ready they all
performed their music together
[Music]the donkey braid
the dog barked the cat mute
(Kids Stories)
and the cock-a-doodled
[Music]the music was so loud that the windows
of the house
shook and threatened to come down
upon the rubbles
[Music]the robbers were scared by these
unimaginable
sounds
and quickly flee from the house
as soon as they were gone the four
musicians
took over the dining table and fed
themselves
full
once they were done they switched off
the lights
and went to sleep
i will sleep on the straw
i will sleep by the door
i will sleep upon the earth by the
warmth of the
fireplace i will sleep
on this beam of the house
soon they all fell asleep
a little away from the house the robbers
watched as the lights of the house went
off
we shouldn’t have been scared like this
one of you go back in and tell us
what is going on inside the house
and so one of the men made his way back
into the house
the house was so dark and quiet that he
went to the kitchen to strike a light
[Music]but he mistook the cat’s shiny eyes for
coal
and put a burning match to them
shocked by the attack the cat jumped on
the rover
and scratched his face
this guard the robber and he ran towards
the back of the door to find a way out
of the house
but in the dark he accidentally stepped
on the dog that bit his leg
all the commotion woke the and he
came
flying down to land on the robber’s head
and cried
cockatoo
ultimately the donkey kicked him out of
the house with his hind legs
(Kids Stories)
the robber ran to the rest of the gang
chief the house is haunted an evil witch
lives there
she scratched my face
at the door stands a man with a knife he
cut my leg
in the backyard is a monster that hit me
with a club
and on the roofs it’s a judge who
screamed bring the knave up
do hearing this
the robbers got on their horses and left
the house
forever
but everything went so well for the four
musicians
that they decided to live in that house
(Kids Stories)
forever
and never made it to bremen
so you see tofu even when you think that
nothing is working out
all you have to do is keep trying and
things will turn around
thanks tia i always feel so much
better after talking to you you’re
always welcome tofu

more.
Happy new Year countdown
