Marvellous Stories told by Dr. Jaya

     I don't read many stories when i was a kid. So, it is a wonderful experience when my enthusiastic Dr. Jaya read us two interesting stories when we were in class. Well, even though i'm a big guy now, still it was a interesting to hear Dr. Jaya's stories. 

EDWINA THE EMU

      The first story Dr. Jaya told us is "Edwina the Emu". This story started when a female emu had lay 10 eggs. In order to support the family, her mate, Edward stay to take care of the eggs while she is looking for a job. She tried to become a ballet dancer but been rejected. She also tried to become a chimney sweeper and waiter but both failed. After that, she decided that it is best for her to take care of the eggs with her mate. The eggs then hatches into 10 cute little emus. When we read the story, we can clearly see that author wanted to highlight about responsibility. It is not only a woman's job to take care of the family but man also. This story teach us that both male and female in the family should work together in taking care of the family. 
      Dr. Jaya also told us that this story also had another good value in it. It is how they teach us about sex education in a good and positive way. The story tell us about how male and female become intimate and thus how the baby was made. I recommend this story to the parents because it is a good story. This story will not only benefit the child but the parents also could learn something from it. The kids can learn about how responsibility is important in relationship and the parent could learn how to teach their child properly about sex education and not lying to them. 


THE GRUFFALO

    The second story was "The Gruffalo". This is the most interesting story that i heard from Dr. Jaya.  There are no such animal called gruffalo in this world. so it is interesting to hear about this story.
     The story is about a mouse who was talking a stroll to the forest when it has to meet with fox, owl and snake that were trying to eat him. So, in order to scare them, the mouse created a story about a ferocious beast called the gruffalo. A Gruffalo loves to eat snake, owl and fox. When the animal heard about the animal called gruffalo, they ran away and did not eat the mouse. As the mouse arrived at the forest, he was surprised to see the real gruffalo was in front of him. Afraid of the gruffalo would eat him, the mouse told the gruffalo that he is a great animal and many animal is afraid of him. The mouse told the gruffalo to follow behind him and see how the animal tremble  before the great mouse. As they walking in the forest, they met with fox, owl and snake that immediately ran away when they saw the mouse. Thinking that the mouse is stronger than him, gruffalo immediately ran away. this story end with the picture of the mouse eating nuts happily.
     This is a great story that should be read by the children. This story teach us how to use our brain if we were happened to get in trouble. This is show by the clever mouse that tricked the gruffalo to think  that he is a stronger animal than gruffalo. Even though it is bad to lie, this story teach us the important of think intelligently in order to get rid of our problems.
     I recommend this story to be read by the children. This story focuses on the smart mouse that uses his brain to scare his enemy away. Children also would love to read this book as it come with beautiful and colorful illustration.

My Favourite Bedtime Story

      We have give task to come up with our favorite bedtime story and present in during tutorial. So, i did little internet surfing activities because i have a lot of favorite bedtime stories. after a few consideration, i choose the bedtime story entitle "Rumpelstilzchen". As this story is one of my favorite story when i was a still a little kid.

This story started when a miller told the king that his daughter can spin straw into gold. The king wanted to see this, so he order to bring the girl into his castle. She was brought into a room full of straw and told to spin it into gold. If she cannot do it, she will die. So, the girl cried all night until a strange little man come to offer his help. The woman give her neckerchief to the little man if he straw the straw into gold. The king come the next day and was happy to see all the gold. He then brought the girl into much larger room that filled with straw and told her spin those into gold. At night, the little came to offer his help and the girl give her ring as reward for helping her. The next day, the king was delighted to see all the gold but not yet satisfied. So he bring the girl into a much larger room to spin the straw. This time he said that if the girl can spin all the straw into gold by tomorrow, she will become her queen. At night, the little come to offer help but the girl has nothing left to give him. So, the little man said that he want her first born child if she become the queen. The girl give her promise as she was so desperate. The King came in the morning and was filled with joy. He then marry the girl and made her into his queen. The years passed until the queen gave birth to a lovely baby. Then, the little man came for the baby but the queen refused. So, he said that if the queen can guessed his name, he will not take the baby, she was give 3 days. The first and second day passed without the queen can guess his name. On the third day, one her messenger returned and told her that he heard a funny little man singing about taking a queen's child and his name was Rumpelstilzchen. So, the queen guessed the name right and Rumpelstilzchen did not take the baby.

      The reason i like the story is because of the character Rumpelstilzchen. When i was still a kid, i used to think that i am very lucky to have him as friend. I would give him my favorite toy and tell him to build me a rocket or may be a robot.

       This is a good story and it is filled with good moral value. i recommended this story to all children in the world.
