It was a pleasant summer day and David decided to go for a walk. “Why don’t you take that magnifying glass of yours with you?” Uncle Bob said, “See what kind of an adventure you can find”. David didn’t think there was much of an adventure in a magnifying glass, but stuck it in his pocket nonetheless, along with some peanut butter crackers in case he is hungry during his adventure finding mission.

He walked to his favourite banyan tree in the park as he always did, looking for shade and finally sat down on the warm ground to eat his crackers. As he ate, some crumbs fell to the ground. He decided to take out his magnifying glass and look at the ground, he noticed an ant had already found his cracker crumbs and was trying to carry it back to his burrow. David thought this might be an interesting find.

Under the magnifying glass, he thought the ant looked pretty formidable. As he followed the ant, he saw it fall into a small pit. The ant tried and tried to get out of the pit, but the sand inside kept giving way and he’d fall back down. David was about to give up on the ant when suddenly, out of the bottom of the pit jumped an antlion and grabbed the ant! It was thrilling for David to see something like this happen right in front of his eyes. The antlion was even more formidable than the ant!

As he continued to gaze through the glass, he noticed a little trail of tracks. They almost looked like tractor tracks, but he knew that wasn't possible. He decided to follow them and see where they went. The tracks led him right to a tree where he found a caterpillar happily munching on a leaf. Wow, that caterpillar looked interesting under a magnifying glass! It had colours and spots and hair and a lot of funny little feet. It was rather peculiar.

David, now satisfied with his adventure started walking back to his house and continued munching on some crackers. He thought he had seen an entirely new world today that he didn’t even know existed and had only read about it in his schoolbook’s books! Clearly, he knew nothing about nature and its hidden beauty! He quickly returned to his house and started recollecting his adventure to Uncle Bob quickly. After the story, Uncle Bob smiled and asked if David wanted to go to the beach the next day.

The End.

A very, very long time ago, there was an enormous world riddled with different tribes. Not a single one of them was perfect. Each tribe had a single, critical fault. One of them polluted their land, another was discriminative and so on and so forth.

These many tribes meant many problems. Though no one had noticed, there was getting to be a little less of everything for everyone since the world could not take all the problems for long.

After a few years of this, a young man came to be in a lost place where none of the tribes lived. He knew his name was Coyote and he needed to make things right in this world of problems. He was not born, since he was sent from heaven by god. His appearance was a mixture of that of all the tribes, however he was perfect and had not a single fault. 

He understood that the only way to solve the problems and save their world was to unite the tribes. So he decided that he would speak to them one by one. He travelled to the first tribe, and said, " Oh respected chief, will you please join me and come to a great gathering in the lost part of this world?" Initially they refused. He explained to them, and they realized the grave danger the world was in. They then agreed and came along to help persuade the rest of the tribes. 

By the end of the day, all of the tribes were gathered in the area where Coyote had appeared. They all began to argue immediately, and some almost left the gathering. There were many shouts of, "How are we supposed to solve this problem?!", "Solve yours and then we will think about ours!" and "Solve your own first before telling anyone else to!" But Coyote moderated the discussion and calmed them down. 

They then took each problem one by one and after an hour or so they had solutions to every single one! Coyote then gave a great speech, and the tribes were united as one problem-free peaceful culture. The world remained intact for eternity after, and it was so perfect that the word 'problem' even ceased to exist, since it had no use!

On 25th January, it was my best friend's birthday. He had called all of us for dinner to a restaurant called Fire and Ice. I went to the restaurant and had a great time. I was very tired at the end of the day and decided to sleep. The next morning, I got a call from the restaurant saying that a person in the restaurant had gotten Covid. So he told me to quarantine myself for 14 days as per government guidelines. I got very tense and did what they said so. The day would be so boring. Wake Up, Take a Bath, Lookout of the Window, have your meals, and again look out of the window. But after 2 days I noticed a pattern. A black car would exactly come at 5 in the evening, with 2 people getting out of the car with big black suitcases where usually guns are kept. Both those men had the same height, wearing the same colored clothes which were black. Even they wore the same companies watch. I got very scared. Some questions popped out in my mind, where they thieve that threatened people to give them money or some army people who were about to invade my house. After my quarantine finished. I became a daredevil and wanted to know who were they. So I woke up early morning and asked the guards of my building, they told me that they were the richest people in the city and they came to visit their aunt and gifted her lots of clothes. I wondered, how didn't I know them. Then all my thoughts got cleared.
