The Lesson of the Shark

[My nearly six-year old dictated this story to me the other day, and the Proud Mamma had to share it. If the sentence construction is at times awkward, it is because he's directly translating from Hindi.]


The Lesson of the Shark
by The Storyteller

One day, Raghav was walking in the jungle.
Then Aditya came and said to Raghav, “Why you are walking in the jungle? What you are finding in the jungle?”
Then Raghav said, “I am looking for animals.”
Then Aditya said, “Why? If they bite us?”
Then Raghav said, “Don’t be scared of the animals.”
Then they found two lions. That two lions was good. So in one lion Raghav sat and Aditya sat on the other lion. Then the four of them went to the Juhu beach. Then they jumped in the water. Then they were going inside the water. Then they found one shark and Aditya was very scared of the shark. Then Raghav pulled the shark’s fin. Then the shark ran away.
Then Raghav said, “Aditya, this is the lesson of the shark.”
And the lion was seeing Aditya and Raghav swimming in the water and they all four had lots of fun.
