Hi Roma,
Its been three months now since I shifted to Kerela. I am very excited to tell you about the recent events in my school. It has been a long time since I updated you about the activities going on in my school. We recently celebrated Onam in our school. It was celebrated wonderfully by all the teachers and students in my class. Everyone in the class prepared 10-11 dishes. They were spicy but delicious. We then performed Kathakali dance in the auditorium.
In the end, we got gifts from the principal as a token of love. You should definitely visit Kerela soon so as we both can enjoy the new culture together. Looking forward to meet you soon.
Your loving sister Nidhi

Oliver was a nine-year-old boy. He lived with other homeless boys in an orphanage. He was pale and thin as were the other boys living there. This was because they had to work hard but were never given enough to eat. The owner of the orphanage, Mr Bumble, was a cruel man and he ill-treated the boys.
The boys were always hungry It was true that they were given three meals a day but each meal consisted only of a bowl of watery soup. They were almost starving. So it was decided by them to ask the master for more soup. But who would bell the cat? Finally the task fell to Oliver.
When all the boys had assembled in the cold stone hall for their evening meal, the soup was served. It soon disappeared. The boys whispered to one another and one boy pushed Oliver a little.

Munna and Bhaiya, the two brothers, stayed in a hostel. Munna was 9 years old and Bhaiya was 14 years old. Being much older than his brother Munna, Bhaiya was very careful about him and his studies. Munna was good at studies but Bhaiya was not. He failed twice even though he studied for long hours everyday. As Munna always achieved good marks he never thought to study for long. He liked to – fly kites every now and then. This angered Bhaiya. He told him to study hard. He made a time-table for Munna and asked him to follow it strictly. But Munna did not pay any attention to it. At this Bhaiya told him that he (Munna) should do according to his (Bhaiya’s) instructions because he had more experience. He further told Munna that their parents were not educated, still they know much more than them because of their experience, which comes with age. Munna understood everything and hugged Bhaiya.
