The Story of the Clever Little Mouse

Read Aloud

Gather around, everyone! I want you to close your eyes for a moment and listen carefully. I will tell you the story of a clever little mouse named Chintu who lived in a bustling village in Ancient India...


In a small village surrounded by lush green fields and tall mountains, there lived a clever little mouse named Chintu. Chintu was not like other mice; he loved to explore and learn new things. One day, while looking for food, he stumbled upon a wise old owl who wore glasses and had a magical scroll.

The owl said to Chintu, “If you can solve my riddle, I will give you the knowledge of the ancient world.” Intrigued, Chintu listened carefully. The riddle was a tricky one, but with his quick thinking and cleverness, Chintu solved it!
