CAT FISH DNA

On September 11, 2012, there was a bomb blast in New York. The United States’ FBI formed a team to investigate the blast.

The investigation pointed to a terrorist named Richard who lived in Spain’s Madrid city. The FBI team went to Madrid and searched Richard’s house and discovered a medical report.

The report belonged to a person named Dr John Stephen, who worked in Mercy Hospitals. The police arrested Dr John and enquired him.

The police were shocked to hear that the doctor had inserted a cat fish’s DNA into the terrorist Richard’s body. This had prompted him to live in water. So, the FBI’s investigation turned to the ocean.

The FBI found out that Richard lived in the deep areas of the Atlantic Ocean near Spain, along with aquatic animals. FBI officer Alex and his group went deep inside the ocean. They found a number of boxes that contained jewels and diamonds. Suddenly, a big human faced fish attacked the FBI crew. Finally, Richard was captured by in a net cage after a big fight and was killed by Alex and his team.

GOLDEN SNOWFALL IN ALBUS

The year was 1940. In St Louis village in Germany, there were around hundred families. It was the time of World War II, led by Germany’s president Hitler.

The people of St Louis had a unique plan. They collected all their precious things such as gold and diamond and put them in a big wooden box. They took the box to Flexis, the village president, and asked him to keep it in the Albus mountain. Flexis hid the box in the mountain. On his way back home, he died in the heavy snow storm.

Soon, Germany was defeated by other countries in the war. St Louis was also affected. A few people escaped the carnage.

It is now 2012. St Louis has grown to a town. There is heavy snowfall again. Gold and diamonds fall, through the roofs, into the houses that night. In the morning, people are happy to see the gold and diamonds.

Now Sara, the granddaughter of Flexis, knows about the wooden box kept in the Albus mountain. She, accompanied by three people, plan to go up the mountain to retrieve the box. News channels announce that there would be a heavy snow storm in Albus in two days. Sara and her team climb up the mountain fast to save the box.

On December 24, the snowstorm starts gradually. Sara and her team have been climbing for a day and are close to getting to the box. But the gold and diamonds mix with the snow and fall over St Louis. People rejoice the snowfall. They exchange Christmas greetings with one another and celebrate the festival with great joy.

TRUE LOVE NEVER FAILS

In 1980, there were many camps in Kenya. These camps extended their help and care to the destitute and orphans, providing the basic necessities. Blueton was one of the camps. There were hundreds of children here. These children were below the age of twelve; they were always together. They played, prayed, ate and worked together. Dick and Rosy were close friends.

One day, the royal family came to Blueton. On seeing Dick’s good nature and behaviour, the family expressed their willingness to nurture him. The camp accepted it immediately for Dick’s welfare. But Dick did not want to be parted from his soul mate Rosy. But he had no other choice but to bid farewell to his camp. He took a group photograph for remembrance, with Rosy sitting next to him. When he was about to bid adieu, tears started rolling down from Rosy’s eyes.

Dick has a lot of affection for Rosy and he recollects their days spent together. Dick is now in London; 25 years have passed.

Dick feels happy on his graduation day. He feels grateful to his parents who had kept up their promise. He is reminded of his childhood mate Rosy.

Months and years have passed but true affection only deepened. Rosy is now a grown-up girl. She also thinks of Dick. Her mind is obsessed with thoughts of their childhood.

Dick’s friends plan a holiday. Immediately, Dick suggests Kenya, so that he can meet his ladylove Rosy. Dick and six of his friends start their journey to Kenya.

Robert explains to Dick the advancements in technology and asks a copy of the photograph. He says he can develop the photograph and with the help of the computer predict the appearance of Rosy currently.

Dick feels confident. He gives a copy of the photograph. The policeman takes it and he promises to send him an e-email. Robert’s destination has arrived. Robert shakes hands with his friends.

When they reach Blueton, Dick inquires about Rosy. Unfortunately, Dick is told that she has been posted to another camp as its caretaker. He comes to know that she is working in Vinton camp.

Dick and his friends rush across to many camps but luck was not on his side. He is disappointed but doesn’t feel let down. Though his friends lose hope, he is very confident. They reach Vinton but Dick is not able to identify Rosy. Meanwhile, Robert, the policeman, has sent Rosy’s recent photograph by e-mail. But Nancy, a girl who is in love with Dick, deletes all information regarding Rosy.

The very next day, Robert calls up Dick to confirm whether he has got his mail or not. Dick says he hasn’t received it. Robert assures Dick that he would send it again. Dick has dinner with his friends. His friends arrange for the journey back to London but Dick refuses to leave.

Suddenly he hears a siren. He rushes to the place from where he heard the noise. He sees a young girl about to be trapped by four young men. He rescues her from them.

She thanks him wholeheartedly and leaves the place. The next morning, he receives a letter and a photograph from Robert. To his surprise, Rosy is the person who he had saved the previous night.

Immediately, he finds Rosy and tells her everything. Rosy feels happy and hugs him. They hold hands and walk into their dream world of love.
