In a lush Indian village by a shimmering river, lived a mischievous crocodile named Chintu. One sunny morning, Chintu overheard some villagers talking about a grand festival with delicious sweets and colorful decorations. His eyes sparkled with curiosity and greed. He wondered, 'What if I could enjoy the feast too?' But Chintu was not very clever and didn’t know how to join the villagers. He decided to find a way, feeling both excited and a little nervous about his plan.
Chintu met a clever monkey named Momo swinging from a mango tree. Momo loved to play tricks and knew many village secrets. Chintu told Momo about his plan to join the feast. Momo chuckled and said, 'Why don’t you try to be clever instead of foolish? I have an idea!' Momo suggested they build a small boat from banana leaves and logs so Chintu could float across the river and surprise everyone. Chintu’s eyes lit up with hope, and he eagerly agreed to the plan.
With Momo’s help, Chintu gathered banana leaves, logs, and vines. They worked together, tying everything tightly. Soon, they had a small, wobbly boat. Chintu climbed in, feeling proud but a little nervous. As he floated across the river, he wobbled and splashed, making everyone laugh. When he reached the other side, the villagers saw him and cheered, thinking he was part of the festival fun. Chintu felt happy but also realized that being clever and kind was better than foolish tricks.
At the festival, Chintu realized that tricks and foolishness could cause trouble. Instead, he decided to be honest and kind. He helped the villagers carry sweets and decorated the riverbank with flowers. Everyone smiled at Chintu’s new friendly attitude. That day, Chintu learned that being clever and kind makes everyone happy. The villagers welcomed him as a good friend, and they all enjoyed the festival together, sharing sweets and laughter under the bright Indian sun.
