You Cannot Please Everybody!

Once there lived two gnomes. Their names were Tommy and Sammy. Sammy was very short and plump whereas Tommy was very skinny and tall. They were best friends. 

Everyone thought they made an unusual pair but they didn't mind. They loved to please everybody. One day they were going to the market to sell apples. Tommy was pushing the apple cart so he was sweating and felt exhausted. 

On the way to the market, they passed by Mr. Franklin. He said, “Oh look at poor Tommy. Why can’t Sammy help him?” On hearing this, Sammy and Tommy decided to push the cart together. On the way, they met Mr. and Mrs.Theodore. “Look Grab!” Mrs. Theodore cackled to Mr.Theodore. “Both of them are pushing the cart. Maybe just one of them could push the cart.” So now Tommy was pushing the cart. 

On a hillside he got tired and stopped. On the way to the top of the hill, they met Mr. Healy, the village schoolmaster. He said, “Oh Sammy! Why are you not pushing the cart? It is so easy to push if you both do it together. Look at poor Tommy!” Sammy turned bright red with embarrassment. Tommy consoled Sammy by telling him that the village schoolmaster was just being rude. Sammy cooled down a little bit. But after consoling him Tommy muttered under his breath,’’Why can’t we please everybody?’’ 

After they reached the market, they started to sell apples. But whatever price they said, everyone had a problem with them. Tommy was turning redder and redder. Soon a kind-hearted young woman came and introduced herself as Ms. Aurelia. She saw that the people in front of her were upset with Tommy and Sammy. When she got to the front she understood that Sammy and Tommy liked to please others but noticed that today wasn’t their day of pleasing anyone. So she taught them a lesson by saying that they don’t need to please everybody. 

They finally understood that everyone took them for granted because they were trying to please others.That day they had learned their lesson of doing what is right and not what pleases others.

Moral: You don’t need to please everyone you see.

The Clever Chick and the Fox

Once upon a time there lived a very clever chick on a farm, the very clever chick had two siblings. They loved to make fun of the very clever chick. One day the very clever chick saw a fox reaching for some berries on a tree but it couldn't reach them.

The fox spotted the very clever chick, the very clever chick ran and warned his siblings. However, the siblings thought it was his imagination and laughed at him. The fox grabbed the two siblings and dropped them into a deep empty well.

The very clever chick ran while the fox chased him, he came across a pond and he flew to the other end of the pond. The fox swam towards him. The chick started running again, but unfortunately his path was blocked by a giant tree. The chick remembered that the fox couldn't climb on the berry tree, he flew to the top of the tree where the fox couldn't get him.

The fox tried and tried but failed, the fox went away.Once the fox was out of sight, the very clever chick went to rescue his siblings from the well .

Moral :  Always trust and value the wisdom of those who care about you, and never underestimate the power of quick thinking in overcoming challenges.

The Caged Bird

 

Behind the bars you hear my despair,                        

Screeching for freedom in the open air.

Far away up in the sky I see,

My friends are chirping in melody.

Morsel by Morsel I now devour,

The fragments thrown to me seemed a favour.

I crave my freedom of perching on branch to tree,

Savouring the sweetness of the fruits that are free.

My wings are trimmed like my dream,

But out in the world they would gleam. 

Caged for fun though I prefer to run,

Opened wings flapping under the gleaming sun.

🙏🙏🙏 Mayoor Founder’s Day Poem 🙏🙏🙏

I wished for a school that is cool,

Teachers that are kind and friends that are cool,

I found them all at Mayoor School.

A school that made learning fun,

Treating us all together as one.

With learnings like PE, music, arts and hands-on, 

Was what made Mayoor school be number one!

Ten years have passed, since Mayoor partners accepted the task,

Of creating an institution of a top class.

“Discover the difference” was their aim at heart,

Which laid the path towards a great start.

A very Happy Birthday to a great school,

May you continue to excel in all that you do.

Thank you for being part of my life,

Truly, truly, I say to you, I am proud to be a Mayoorite!

🙏🙏🙏Poems for Mayoor Founder’s Day🙏🙏🙏

Reflecting on my journey to Mayoor School. I remember the laughter filled classrooms, where every lesson felt like an adventure waiting to unfold. 

From learning about dinosaurs, to exploring the wonders of outer space , each day was filled with excitement and discovery.

My fondest memories include the Annual Sports Day, where I cheered for my friends and felt the thrill of teamwork. Along the way, I learned the importance of kindness and curiosity. 

Looking ahead to the next 10 years, I see myself pursuing my passion whether it's becoming a scientist, an artist or maybe even an astronaut whatever path I choose. 

I know that the lessons learned and friendships made at Mayoor School will always guide me towards success and happiness.

Happy Founder’s Day

Sunny Day 

It’s a sunny day,                                                                

Clouds out of the way                                                 

Clouds shaped like a bird, 

Clouds shaped like a herd. 

Every nook is, 

Where I look 

Everywhere sunlight past 

There is an area that is vast.

Rivers, Lakes and Seas

Rivers, lakes and seas 

Passing by trees,

Rivers, lakes and seas

Are beautiful like snowflakes.

Rivers, lakes and seas 

Walking by will make you quiver

The world is lucky to have them

They are truly a gem.
