The Frogs and The Boys
One summer afternoon, a group of boys were playing near a pond. They were happily throwing stones into the water. Each splash made them laugh, but they did not realize that several frogs lived in the pond. The stones frightened and even hurt the poor creatures, who tried to escape. At last, one brave frog raised its head and said, “Please stop, boys! What may be fun for you is death for us.” The boys understood their mistake, felt ashamed, and went away.
Moral: We must always think about how our actions affect others.
Tree Plantation
Our school, Singur Golap Mohini Mallick Girls' High School, recently organized a tree plantation drive to spread awareness about the importance of protecting our environment. The students of class 7 actively took part in the program along with teachers and staff members. Various saplings such as neem, mango, guava, and ornamental plants were planted in the school premises and nearby areas. The headmistress encouraged us by explaining how trees help in reducing pollution and maintaining ecological balance. The students promised to take care of the saplings regularly. The plantation drive not only made our surroundings greener but also inspired us to be more responsible towards nature.

Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa, born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, was a Roman Catholic nun who devoted her entire life to serving the poorest and sickest people, primarily in Kolkata, India. She was deeply moved by the sight of people suffering in the city's slums, which led her to leave her comfortable teaching job in 1946 to work directly with the dying and the destitute. In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity, an organization that grew into a global force for good, establishing homes for the sick, orphanages, and hospices around the world. Mother Teresa believed in performing "small things with great love," focusing on giving dignity and comfort to those who felt unwanted and uncared for, and for her selfless humanitarian efforts, she was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
