Wonderful short stories that my Grandma told: Books for kids, #3

By Mr. Magisto Thousand

No one knows exactly when did the art of storytelling started, but it all started for us when we opened our eyes to this world. There was a time when we would gather around the fireplace during the haunting stormy nights, the nights that used to scare us with their violent nature. The roaring of the thunder and the striking of lights would make us sit close to each other. 

We pretended to be the brave warriors, and we fought with the terrifying nights by the magical powers of storytelling. And if you were the bystander in our village, we would ask you about your bigger trips and experiences in the world. We would serve you a bowl of delicious hot soup, and we would also let you stay in our comfy home, that’s how much we were thirsty for stories. 
But gone the days of the golden age, where children used to gather around the fireplace and listen to the stories told by the elders and passers-by.

However, there is hope in this world now, because Mr. Magisto Thousand does not want to lose this great culture of storytelling. He revives the art of fantasy, myth, imagination and storytelling for the children to take pride in. He is an ancient tale-teller. He knows how to warm hearts through his figment of imaginations. Mr. Magisto Thousand reads children's stories from all over the world. 

With his power of invention, he takes you to an unseen world. Where dragons live and monsters are slain by the knights and kings to protect the world and keep it safe, and the vicious witches live in the dark dungeon with their evil minds, they plot against the world, but the princesses and princes sacrifice to save the kingdom from the evil plotting of wicked thoughts. 
He writes the long and the short stories that would be engraved in the child’s mind and leave them with memories to share with their grandchildren. 

Each book of Mr. Magisto Thousand contains the fragments of reality mingled with the fantasy. The combination of this work of imagination opens up a new dimension that is full of adventure, magic and remarkable, exciting stories.

These stories are not just the ordinary fairy-tales, but the extraordinary that gives us the insight, wisdom, and courage. It teaches us the life lesson that should descend to our generation to keep the art of storytelling. These varieties of concepts not only entertains us but educate us to learn from the past.

Remember these are not the children’s stories, but the stories of life and lessons. They turn to us as if we are the children in our comfortable room, sitting near the fireplace.

Magic and Wizardry

Polly’s Magical Birthday Cake

Mrs. Smithers couldn’t think what to get for Polly. She didn’t have much money and today was Polly’s special day. Mrs. Smithers had never come across such a happy child. Polly made the whole class happy even when kids had reason to be sad.

She knew that Polly’s mom would only be able to get a small gift, but she did think that a birthday cake would be really nice. She didn’t want any birthday cake. She wanted it to be magic.

Visiting the school of magic down the road, the students gave her all kinds of ideas. What about a cake that gets bigger every time you cut it? said one of the student wizards. He liked that idea because he liked eating a lot. Polly wasn’t like that.

How about a cake with gigantic candles that sparkle? suggested one other student wizard. That didn’t seem a bad idea, but what she really wanted was something special to Polly.

Could I create a cake that produces snow? she asked. In class, they had talked about snow and Polly had been enchanted by the idea of white flakes of snow and had never seen snow in real life.

Well, said the professor of wizardry. I could produce a cake like that!  The students all sighed because they wished they could!

What will you need? asked Mrs. Smithers.

All you need to do is to give us two days to produce the cake. You deliver an ordinary cake here tomorrow and we will do the rest.

Polly was very excited. Getting older was exciting. She didn’t care about presents. She just wanted to enjoy the day with her family and friends. When Mrs. Smithers brought the cake into the class, all the kids looked in wonderment. It was the most beautiful cake they had ever seen.

As Polly blew out the candles, the whole room was filled with snowflakes pouring down from the ceiling. She was amazed
