One day Bunny rabbit heard the loud barking of the wild dogs. He was very scared. He decided to ask for help. He quickly went to his friend deer. He said: “Dear friend, some wild dogs are chasing me. Can you chase them away with your sharp antlers?” Dear said: “That is right, I can. But now I am busy. Why don’t you ask bear for help?”

Bunny rabbit ran to the bear. “My dear friend you are very strong, please help me. Some wild dogs are after me. Please chase them away,” he requested the bear.

He understood that he has to think of a way out. He hid under a bush. He lay still the wild dogs went their way.

Grasshopper and the ant

In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great effort an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.

"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling away?" "I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same." "Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; "we have got plenty of food at present."

But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing, every day, corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer.

Then the Grasshopper knew..

A stork and a fox

A selfish fox once invited a stork to dinner at his home and for a joke it put nothing before her but some soup in a very shallow dish. The fox could easily lap this up, but the Stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it, and stayed hungry.

“I am sorry that the soup is not to your liking," said the fox with a sly smile.

"Oh, please do not apologise," said the Stork. "I hope you will return this visit, and come and dine with me too ." So a day was appointed when the Fox should visit the Stork.

Finally, when they were seated at the table, the Stork served them both some soup in a very long‑necked jar with a narrow mouth. The stork drank the soup easily but the fox could not insert his snout into the tall jar. This time it was the Fox’s turn to go hungry.

                                                    SHRI BADRACHALA RAMADHASAR

  WAS HIS FATHER,BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HIS MOTHER'S NAME.
ONE DAY HIS FATHER SAID A STORY FOR GOPANNA.
GOPANNA IS THE BIRTH NAME FOR SHRI BADRACHALA RAMADHASAR.

THE STORY WAS VERY INTERESTING FOR GOPANNA.THAT STORY WAS ,
"ONE DAY RAMA,SITA AND LAKSHMANA WENT TO THE FOREST.
AT THAT TIME, RAMA WAS VERY TIRED, AND SO THEY TOOK REST AT A PLACE.
RAMA SLEPT ON A BIG ROCK AND HE WOKE UP VERY FRESH,SO HE ASKED
THAT ROCK WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME. THE ROCK ANSWERED ' WHAT DO YOU
SAY' ? YOU SLEPT ON ME AND HENCE I DON'T WANT ANY OTHER THINGS.

RAMA SAID TO THE ROCK, I WILL GIVE YOU A BOON,THAT BOON WAS GODAVARI
RIVER WILL FLOW ALWAYS BESIDES YOU."THIS WAS THE STORY.

AFTER SOME TIME,HIS FATHER AND MOTHER DIED.GOPANNA WAS VERY SAD,
BUT HE TOOK A BIG BOX FROM HIS HOUSE. INSIDE THE BOX THERE WAS LORD
RAMA'S IDOLS.   ONE DAY SAINT KABIRDHASAR CAME TO THAT VILLAGE,
GOPANNA MET KABIRDOSS.  KABIR ASKED GOPANNA,'WHAT WAS IN THAT BOX'?
IMMEDIATELY HE OPENED THAT BOX. KABIR SAW THE RAMA'S IDOLS.
KABIR CAUGHT THAT BOX AND THREW IT INTO THE GODAVARI RIVER.
GOPANNA WAS VERY ANGRY AND CRIED WITH LARGE VOICE.BUT KABIRDAS
WAS NOT SAD.KABIR SAID TO SPELL RAMA NAMA THREE TIMES.
THE BOX WILL COME OVER THE WATER.  HE SPELT RAMA NAMA THREE TIMES,
BUT SURPRISINGLY THE BOX DID NOT COME.  SO GOPANNA STOPPED HIS
CRYING, AND HE ASKED KABIR,"WHAT WAS THE MAGIC YOU HAVE DONE?'.
KABIR SAID I WILL SPELL RAMA NAMA THREE TIMES, THE BOX WILL BE HERE.
SO KABIR STARTED SAYING RAMA NAMA THREE TIMES, AND SUDDENLY THE
BOX CAME OVER THE WATER.KABIR ADVISED HIM TO SPELL ONLY "RAMANAMA"
SO GOPANNA SPELT RAMA NAMA.

HIS CORRECT AGE CAME.  HE MARRIED A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.  AND THEY LIVED
VERY HAPPILY.  AND ALSO SHE GAVE BIRTH TO A CHILD.   ONE DAY GOPANNA 
GAVE FOOD FOR PEOPLE WHO SPELT RAMA NAMA.  AT THAT TIME, THIER CHILD
FELL INTO THE HOT AKKARAVADASAL POT AND DIED.  HIS WIFE DID NOT TELL THIS
MATTER TO ANYONE INCLUDING HIS HUSBAND.PEOPLE  WERE EATING FOOD.
AFTER THEY WENT, SHE TOLD THAT MATTER TO HIS HUSBAND.  HE THANKED HIS
WIFE FOR NOT SAYING THE TRUTH BEFORE ANYBODY AND HE TOOK HIS CHILD
BEFORE RAMA'S SANNADHI AND HE SANG BEFORE RAMA VERY SADLY.  LORD RAMA,
GAVE LIFE TO THEIR CHILD AND HE THANKED RAMA.

GOPANNA THOUGHT OF KABIRDOSS.  GOPANNA EXPLAINED ALL THE MATTERS TO 
KABIR.KABIR SAID TOMMORROW LORD RAMA WILL COME TO YOUR HOME.
GOPANNA WENT TO HIS HOME WITH HIS CHILD, KABIR ASKED RAMA TO GO TO
GOPANNA'S HOUSE THE NEXT DAY.  RAMA SAID THAT HE WILL GO IN THE FORM OF
BUFFALLO.  KABIR ACCEPTED THIS. NEXT DAY RAMA CAME IN THE FORM OF BUFFALO
TO GOPANNA'S HOUSE AND IT WAS VERY DIRTY.  GOPANNA DID NOT KNOW THAT
BUFFALLO IS LORD RAMA.  SO HE BEAT IT WITH A LONG WOODEN STICK, BUFFALO
WENT TO THE TEMPLE.GOPANNA WAITED AND HE WATCHED FOR RAMA ALL NIGHT.
BUT HE DID NOT COME. HE THOUGHT KABIR.NEXT MINUTE,KABIR CAME TO HIS HOUSE.
GOPANNA ASKED KABIR WHY RAM DID NOT COME TO MY HOUSE. KABIR LAUGHED AND SAID GOPANNA, THAT RAMA CAME AS A BUFFALO.  GOPANNA SHOCKED SO HE
UNDERSTAND HIS MISTAKE.  AT THAT TIME,HE LIVED ONLY FOR RAMA. AND CHANTING
ONLY RAMA NAMA ALWAYS.

                                                                                         HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE
                                                                      ******************                                                              


When we go to a new place we can see that different language and the different culture.Nowadays we can easily bought a chocolate  from a shop.But there is a huge history about that.

There is a joke about the chocolate.Once a time a parents took their to a doctor.Because his teeth were decayed.After checking his teeth the doctor think about that by which  thing we can fill his teeth.That time the child told that"You Should fill my teeth with chocolates". 
Some Archaeologists discovered that the choco seeds were planted in 2007.

Before 1400 years the practice of growing choco seeds were among the american tribes named "Mayans".The word chocolate is derived from the mayan language.In the mayan language the word chocolate means the "Bitter water".When the europeans transferred 
from the europe to the america they established the choco plants.
The islamians use the choco in the prayer in the mosque.They said that is the "God's Umbrella".

The choco was taken from the europe to the china through the sea.The chinese king "Monsedooma"wants to drink the choco juice.the servants serve the choco juice to the king in the golden bowl.After drank the juice he thrown out the cup.Per one day he dispose 50 cups..

In 1942 when the colombus returned to the america he gave choco seeds to the king "Bernard".In 1519 The author named the "isabella" bought 1 servant for 100 choco seeds.He also took 
choco seeds from europe to the mesapotamia .It also transferred from the mesopotamia to the spain and the england.
Chocolate contains the vitamin "B".But we can't eat the more chocolates.

From the above sentence I remind a proverb. 

                                                        "Otherwise than the toxic nectar"

                                                   ENVISIONING AN EMPOWERED INDIA                           

                         India is a multi-cultural,multi-lingual country.If we see the history we came to know that the India is one of the cultural countries.India was the country which was first civilized.
When Mauryas ruled the India ,the coins came to use.India was an united country but the resources of India was stolen by the foreign countries.But it will become united again.
                        Science maestro Mr.Abdul Kalam said that the India will become united in 2020.
Now India ranks first in the computer field .In many fields India ranks an important place.
                        In next 50 years other foreign countries will depend India in agricultural and Natural Resources.In next 200 years India will ranks first in the producing the Solar power,Wind power and the Hydro Electric Power.
                         Indian scientists will discover a device using "Nanotechnology" which is used to control the traffic.In the next two years Indian scientists will discover the "Hyper Sonic" vehicle 
which is used to control the pollution in the  vehicle automatically.
                          Scientists said that India grows fastly than than the China and the America.Indian government also develop the rural areas in India by introducing the plan of  "PURA" ("Providing Urban amentities in Rural Areas.
                          "ISRO" will launch the PSLV-3 with the new and an improvising technology.The engine in it is made up of a element named the "EBOXY".
                      By the above features we can surely said that India will be united in 2020.
