Once upon a time, there was a boy named Joy. One day he was to speak 5 sentences about pencils in his class. He spoke in detail about all he knew on pencils. His teacher was extremely impressed with his presentation. Someone else was impressed too –
The Blue Fairy!!
The Blue Fairy decided to reward Joy. When Joy slept, the Blue Fairy came in his dreams and said, “Joy, I gift you this magical microphone for being such a nice orator. When you speak through it, only the person you wish to speak to can hear you. That person will be able to hear you no matter how far away he is. But remember, all my gifts can be used only thrice. Have Fun!!”
As soon as Joy woke up, he found a red magical microphone tucked beneath his pillow. Joy quickly picked it and said, “This message is for my friend, Sid. Sid, I want to show you something, come to my home.”
For sure, the doorbell rang soon. Sid came running, excited. “You know what”, he said, “I thought I heard your voice, but I could not see you anywhere. It was amazing!”
“Not amazing, Magical”, corrected Joy as he told Sid about the new microphone.
Then they decided to use it on Santa Claus. They said, “This message is for Santa Claus. Hello Santa, this is Joy and Sid. This Christmas please get us a real big fighter aeroplane, and not a toy. Thank you.”
Now as the friends were waiting for the aeroplane, they were surprised instead by a letter, that came nicely wrapped in a blue laced envelope. It read: “Dear Joy and Sid, You should use your magical gifts for helping people or for having fun. I’m busy. Also, you both are very young now for a real fighter aeroplane. Bye, Santa.”
The friends realized that they were misusing their gifts by being selfish and greedy. They decided not to repeat the mistake again.
As they reached the playground, they saw Robby. Nobody liked Robby because he was a bully. Joy and Sid hid behind a big tree and spoke in the microphone – “This message is for Robby. Robby, I am God speaking.” Robby looked around, surprised. Amused, Sid continued, “I have been watching you. You bother and hassle other children. If you do not start loving and caring others, I’m afraid I’ll have to punish you!!” Robby turned white on hearing this.
“It must be God”, Robby thought, and ran back home, determined to become a good boy.
The playground was a much friendlier place after that, and though the microphone disappeared, it taught all - Sid, Joy and Robby, important lessons.
