Innocence at its best.... :)

I was not exactly in a bad mood today... but was definitely, not my usual self. Having nothing in particular to post, I decided to ruffle thru a few regular blogs, i follow... In the process, I stumbled upon, this very amazing post, where the author explained how a few six- year old children described their favorite animal. I was bowled over by their exquisite expressions :) :) :)

Their genuinely amusing stories had a magical effect on me.. They instantaneously lifted my spirits :).. made me yearn for my childhood :|... and regret my adulthood... :( 
:)-- :| -- :( Mixed emotions!!! :P

Just take a look... I assure you.. its gonna be a thoroughly refreshing ... :) :)

Lets start with the holy Cow.. :)
“A cow is a cow. Not a goat.Many animals have milk, but a cow is so good that it can give milks even in packets” and his last line said it all, “I love a cow. It is so useful I know its spelling.”  :D :D :D

Enthralling version of the lion.. :)
“Lines are fat and hairy... Lions run after non-veg items like chicken, egg, mutt­on, beef. We cannot be friends with lion as we are also non-veg item.” And finally, “Lions are useful to us in cinemas.” :D :D :D
 
Then comes the dog.. :)
“Do I like my dog or my sister? My sister fights with me. My dog only bites me. I bathe in Dettol, my dog also. My sister’s name is Minu. My dog’s name is Joker. I feel sad because they make fun of my dog. He is not joker, but my sister is mean. I hate my sister. I love my dog. He is useful. Sister is dangerous.” :D :D
 
Another child wrote about the owl.. :)
“Owl is living in villages or forests, inside a tree hole. They are so wise that crow, sparrow and everyone go to Owl for wisdom. An owl sleeps in the day. But I cannot. I come to school in the day. Also I live in city. So I don’t know anything about owl. So bye-bye.” :D :D :D
 
Next comes the Snake.. :)
“Ssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssss, a snake shouts like this. When we say ssssssssssssssssssssssssss it means keep quiet. Teachers shout like snake. Snakes dance very well. For annual day we did snake dance. A snake is useful in school programmes.” :D :D :D
 
There was one on Hippos too.. :)
“Hippo has large hips. They live in Discovery TV. I have a hippo soapbox. If hippo and elephant fight, who will win? I am very sorry; I don’t know any use of Hippo.” :D :D :D
 
And then finally.. one on the royal elephants.. :)
“Elephant is big, black and very strong. From far they look like black clouds. They wear bells to warn us. Their anklets are so big we use them as chains. Elephant is the national animal of the world.” :D :D :D

Such innocent and wonderful ideas, bubbling in young minds... :) 

This article reminded me of the quote i once heard...

“There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.”

and now I want to squeeze in... "animals more dearer" somewhere, in between :) :)


When i heard it... it was just another quote. But now, after reading all these simple, straight from heart, mirthful stories... i know.. what it means... :)


As they say.. If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older. :) :) :)

Be a child... Keep smiling.. :)
