It was a very special day—Rithwika’s 4th birthday! She woke up with a big smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Today was going to be a magical day filled with surprises! Murali and Sachu, her loving parents, had decorated the house beautifully with lots of cute kitten decorations because Rithwika absolutely loved kittens! Just then, the doorbell rang. Rithwika ran to open the door, and standing there was her best friend. Happy Birthday, Rithwika!” her friend said, hugging her. “Yay! You came!” Rithwika cheered, pulling her inside excitedly. But there was one thing Rithwika wished for the most. “I wish Grandma Smitha was here too,” she said with a little sigh. Grandma Smitha lived far away in India, and Rithwika missed her so much. Just then, another DING DONG! This time, it was a big box wrapped in a pink ribbon! It had a note that said: "For My Sweet Kitten Rithwika, with love, Grandma Smitha." Excited, she quickly opened the box. Inside was a soft, fluffy toy kitten with bright blue eyes and a tiny pink nose. “Meow!” It made a little sound when she hugged it. “Oh wow! It’s so cute! Thank you, Grandma!” Rithwika squealed with joy. Her parents turned on the laptop, and Grandma Smitha appeared on the screen, smiling warmly. “Happy Birthday, my dear Rithwika!” she said. “Do you like your gift?” “I love it, Grandma! I will name her Meow-Meow!” Rithwika giggled, cuddling the toy. Her friend clapped and said, “Meow-Meow is so cute! Soon, it was time for the birthday cake. It was the most beautiful cake Rithwika had ever seen—covered in tiny, playful kittens made of frosting! She clapped her hands happily and blew out the candles while everyone cheered. After cake and presents, Rithwika and her friend played with Meow-Meow. Even though Grandma Smitha was far away, she felt close to Rithwika through their video call. As the day ended, Rithwika hugged her kitten toy tightly and whispered, “This was the best birthday ever!” And with a happy heart, she fell asleep.

In a colorful meadow, there lived a butterfly named Thomas. Unlike the other butterflies, Thomas couldn’t fly. He watched in sadness as they fluttered freely, while his wings remained grounded. No matter how much he flapped, nothing happened. “I’ll never fly,” he thought, feeling lonely and defeated. One day, a zebra named Hank noticed Thomas sitting alone. With his bold black-and-white stripes, Hank stood out against the bright meadow. He approached Thomas with a warm smile. “Why aren’t you flying with the others?” Hank asked. Thomas sighed. “I don’t know how. I’ve tried, but my wings won’t work.” Hank chuckled softly. “Flying isn’t about waiting for something to happen. It’s already inside you—you just need to find the courage to lift your wings.” Thomas looked at his wings, doubting himself. “But what if I fail again?” Hank smiled kindly. “How about we try together? Climb onto my nose, and I’ll help you feel the wind. I’ll run and jump, and you’ll see what it’s like to catch the breeze.” Nervous but curious, Thomas crawled onto Hank’s nose. Hank began to run through the meadow, the wind rushing past them. As Hank jumped into the air, Thomas felt the wind lift his wings. For the first time, he believed he could fly. With a leap of faith, Thomas spread his wings—and to his surprise, they lifted! He soared above the meadow, feeling free and joyful. “You did it!” Hank called from below. Thomas realized that it wasn’t just his wings—it was the belief in himself that had set him free. From that day forward, Thomas flew alongside the other butterflies, no longer waiting for his chance but embracing it.
