The Shadow Story Life of Kids

Once upon a time, in a small village surrounded by trees, rivers, and mountains, lived a boy. The little boy was chirpy and happy, one morning as he woke up early he went outside to play. As the boy was playing he saw a shadow. He looked at the shadow and observed its dark, grey, colourless appearance.

The shadow made the little boy very sad. He soon started crying. Listening to the cries of the young boy an angel came to the village. He asked the boy, “Why are you crying?”.

The little kid replied, sobbing, that he found the world so dark and grey. He then pointed at the shadow and asked “why must I stay in a world that is so colourless and sad. The colourless shadow is what ails me.”.

Hearing this the angel asked, “Do you hear the birds chirping every morning? Do you hear the sound of the river flowing?”.

“Yes,” the kid replied. The kid then said that as he could not see the birds, all he could see was the dark shadow in front of him. And if birds saw the shadow they too would be sad.

The Angel made the kid sit at his feet, facing the rising sun.

"Take a look!" exclaimed the Angel.

The child wiped his tears and glanced around. The fields were green and yellow and gleaming with dewdrops, and the other kids were running around, laughing and yelling. His village looked beautiful.

The angel then told the little boy to admire the view.

The little boy told the angel that the shadow is gone. The angel then explained that the shadow is behind the boy. The angel then advised the kid to play along with other kids and enjoy the sunlight and not to worry about the shadow as there were beautiful things all around.
