Who broke it.
It's 6:30. Now my daddy been home since about 5:00. The television is broken and I'm lucky that he hasn't noticed yet. He's had his shower. He's talked to mom and now he's going to eat dinner. After that I may be dead meat. See I broke the television.

The Day of the Disappearing Kid
On a quiet Sunday afternoon, two kids, *Ravi* and *Arya*, were sitting comfortably in the living room, glued to their favourite TV programmes. The room was filled with the sound of cartoons and laughter, as they enjoyed their weekend break. Suddenly, the sound of the doorbell rang through the house. Startled, they both looked at each other, wondering who it could be. Their dad, who had just come home from work, was standing outside the door. "Kids, it's time!" he called out, smiling. "We’re going to the movie theatre, remember?" Ravi and Arya jumped up with excitement. They had been waiting for this day all week – the day their dad promised to take them to watch the latest animated movie. They quickly turned off the TV and ran to the door. "Dad, we’re ready!" Ravi exclaimed, grabbing his small backpack, filled with snacks for the movie. Arya followed, bouncing with joy. They locked the door behind them and headed to the car, their dad holding the keys and chatting with them about the film. "It’s going to be a great movie, kids. I’ve heard it’s filled with action and adventure!" As they approached the theatre, the excitement grew even more. Ravi and Arya could barely contain themselves as they rushed through the crowd at the entrance. Their dad got the tickets and they made their way inside. But as they reached the seating area, something strange happened – Ravi looked around and realised Arya was no longer by his side. "Dad, where’s Arya?" Ravi asked, his voice filled with sudden concern. Their dad looked down, realising Arya wasn’t with them. Panic started to rise. "I thought she was right behind us!" he said, looking around frantically. The crowd in the lobby had been thick, and it seemed Arya had gotten separated. "Okay, stay calm, Ravi," their dad said, taking control of the situation. "Let’s retrace our steps and see if we can find her." They quickly exited the seating area and went back to the entrance. They checked the snack counter, the restrooms, and even asked the staff if they had seen a little girl in a pink dress. No one seemed to have noticed her. As the minutes ticked by, Ravi became more worried. "What if we can’t find her, Dad?" But their dad stayed calm. "Don’t worry, Ravi. We’ll find her. She knows how to stay safe, and I’m sure she hasn’t gone far." Just as they were about to search further, their dad had an idea. He asked Ravi, "Do you remember what Arya does when she gets scared?" Ravi thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Yes! Whenever Arya gets scared or lost, she looks for a place to hide. She doesn’t like crowds, so she’ll probably be in a quiet corner." They immediately began searching for quiet, less crowded spots around the theatre. After a few minutes, Ravi spotted something familiar near the corner of the lobby, behind a large cardboard cutout of a superhero. "Dad, look! There she is!" Sure enough, Arya was sitting quietly behind the cutout, hugging her knees and looking worried. Ravi ran over to her. "Arya! We’ve been looking for you everywhere!" Arya looked up, tears in her eyes. "I couldn’t find you guys, and there were too many people..." Their dad knelt down and hugged her tight. "It’s okay, Arya. We’re here now. I’m so proud of you for staying calm and finding a safe place. Next time, hold on to my hand so we don’t get separated, okay?" Arya nodded, wiping her eyes. "I’m sorry." "No need to apologise," Ravi said, grinning. "Let’s go watch the movie now!" With Arya safely by their side, they returned to their seats in the theatre. The movie began, and soon all the worries melted away as they became immersed in the world of action and adventure on the screen. By the end of the day, the family laughed about the little adventure they had before the movie started. From that day on, Arya always made sure to hold her dad’s hand whenever they were in a crowded place, and they never lost each other again. **The End.**

Why Watching Too Many Short Videos Isn't Always Good
Why Watching Too Many Short Videos Isn't Always Good Short videos are fun. We see them all the time on our phones and tablets. They make us laugh, teach us new things, and help pass the time. But watching too many of these videos can be a bit like eating too many sweets. A little bit is okay, but too much can have some bad effects. Let's learn why it's important to not watch too many short videos. 1. It Makes It Harder to Pay Attention When we watch short videos, our brain gets used to things happening really quickly. The videos change fast, and we don’t have to think too much. But if we watch these videos a lot, it can make it harder to sit still and pay attention to things like schoolwork or reading a book. This is because our brain starts to want everything to be quick and exciting, just like the videos. 2. It Takes Away Time for Other Fun Things Watching videos is fun, but if we do it all the time, we might miss out on other fun things. For example, we might forget to play outside, talk to our friends, or do something creative like drawing or building with blocks. If we spend too much time watching videos, we might end up feeling bored with these other activities, even though they are really important for growing our imagination and learning. 3. It Can Make Our Eyes and Brain Tired Have you ever felt really tired after watching videos for a long time? That’s because staring at a screen for too long can make our eyes feel sore and our brain feel tired. It’s a bit like how our muscles get tired after running for a long time. When we watch too many short videos, we might get headaches or feel sleepy, even if we’re not ready for bed yet. 4. It Stops Us From Thinking Creatively Short videos are made by other people. They show us their ideas, jokes, or stories. While it’s great to see these, watching too many of them can stop us from using our own imagination. Instead of thinking up new ideas, we might start copying what we see on the screen. But it’s important to come up with our own games, stories, and ideas, which can’t happen if we’re always watching what others make. 5. It Can Make Us Feel Restless When we watch lots of short videos, our body gets used to sitting down and not moving. But our bodies need to move! Running, jumping, and playing are very important for our health. If we don’t do enough of these, we might start feeling restless or grumpy. It’s like our body is telling us to get up and move around. --- Taking Care of Our Mental Health Just like we take care of our body by eating food and drinking water, we need to take care of our mind too. Our mind is where our feelings live. Sometimes we feel happy, sometimes we feel sad, and sometimes we feel scared or excited. All these feelings are okay. But if we feel upset or sad for a long time, it’s important to know that we can do something to feel better. 1. Talking About Our Feelings One of the best ways to take care of our mind is by talking about our feelings. If we’re feeling sad or worried, telling someone we trust, like a parent or friend, can help. They might give us a hug, listen to us, and help us feel better. We don’t always have to solve our problems by ourselves. 2. Taking Breaks When We Need To Sometimes, if we’re feeling tired or upset, we just need a little break. Doing something we enjoy, like playing with our toys or listening to a favorite song, can help us feel happy again. It’s important to rest and recharge our minds, just like we rest our bodies after running around. 3. Doing Things We Love One way to stay happy and healthy is by doing things we enjoy. Maybe we like drawing, playing outside, or reading a story. These activities make us feel good inside. It’s important to make time for things that make us smile because they help our mind stay strong. 4. Being Kind to Ourselves We all make mistakes sometimes. Maybe we spill something or forget to do something. That’s okay. What’s important is to be kind to ourselves and remember that everyone makes mistakes. We can always try again and do better next time. 5. Asking for Help Just like we go to the doctor when we don’t feel well, it’s okay to ask for help when our feelings don’t feel right. If we’re sad or scared for a long time, talking to someone like a parent, teacher, or friend can make a big difference. It’s okay to ask for help because everyone needs it sometimes. Taking care of our mental health is just as important as eating good food and getting enough sleep. When we do things that make our mind happy, we feel strong and ready for anything.
