Story of Vowels

A E I O U

Parenting is an art and we have to be creative to teach our young children. If we teach in the form of a story or a rhyme, they will not forget what they learn. 

Parents can tell this short story to their children to remember the vowels. They can also sing the Vowels song to their kids. 

In Newman town, there was a calm and curvy river bank, in which lived an Alligator and his friend the baby Elephant. 

  

They liked to play together in the river. The alligator liked to swim and catch Iguana for lunch. 

But the elephant liked to eat Oranges for lunch. 

One cloudy afternoon, right after they finished their lunch, it started to rain. So they hurried to the Umbrella tree on the river bank.

   

The Vowels song goes like this... please choose your kid's favorite nursery rhyme to sing along...

Alligator and Elephant were best friends
Alligator ate Iguanas
Elephant ate Oranges
On a rainy day
They had a holiday...... under the Umbrella!! 

Thank you for reading! If you like my story, please don't forget to comment below. 

Turtle and the Rabbit - Teamwork Pays off

On a beautiful Spring Day,
All the animals of the woods had a fun day.

Turtle constructs a bridge on a stream
Rabbit tries to destruct turtle's dream
And Oh no! it falls into the stream!!

Kind turtle rescues rabbit out of the stream,
Carries rabbit on his shell to the shore.
Friendly birds bring a blanket for the shivering rabbit.

Turtle back on his work of building log bridge,
Rabbit helps his new turtle friend
And keeps the final rock in place.

Rabbit and Turtle finish the bridge with teamwork
Invite all the animal friends to show their teamwork.

All the friends and  family of beavers,
And birds and grasshoppers,
All cross the stream by using the bridge,
And this is how teamwork paid off.
