Read the story of Narayan and Grandma how Grandma with

his magic show their feelings to Narayan or lessen his pain.

Narayan walked down a lonely lane with tearful eyes and started crying as

he reached his grandma’s lap.
‘‘What happened?’’ Grandma asked Narayan as she hugged him. ‘‘No one

plays with me grandma’’, cried Narayan.

"But were you not playing with your friends till yesterday evening?" asked
Grandma.

‘‘Grandma, I sit quietly and watch them play. When I ask them if I can play

with them, they laugh at me. They
say, I am very slow at spinning tops’’,

sobbed poor Narayan. "They can

spin the top on their palms, on their

arms." Narayan added.
‘‘You will also learn to spin the top on

your palms someday, my son. Just

practice with them’’. Grandma tried

to console Narayan.
‘‘No Grandma, they kick the ball very

well, they all make fun of me when

I kick the ball. They also play cricket
very well. They say I am weak.’’
