THE MAGICAL FRUIT

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Joy. One day, Joy and his parents went out for dinner. When they came back, it was too late in night, and Joy was very tired and sleepy. Even though he was feeling very drowsy, he went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and changed into his nightclothes. Then he crashed on the bed, and was asleep in a moment. Joy’s teeth were very happy with him. Someone else was happy too –
The Blue Fairy!
The Blue Fairy came in Joy’s dreams and said, “Joy! I’m very happy with you. You indeed take good care of your health and hygiene. Brushing teeth at night is an important work. So I give you this magical fruit as a reward. It is very nutritious. Whenever you’ll eat it, you’ll become very strong for a few minutes. Remember, you can eat it only three times. Enjoy.”
Joy found it tucked inside his pillow the next morning. It looked like a mix of apple, mango and orange. Joy was eager to find out exactly how strong the fruit makes him, so he quickly ate a portion. “I don’t feel any difference”, thought Joy, as he left for Sid’s home. When he pressed Sid’s doorbell, the doorbell switch broke due to Joys’ sudden strength!! Then he knocked at the door, but the huge impact of his fist made a hole in Sid’s door! Sid’s mother came out running. “How did my door and doorbell break??” She asked puzzled. Joy mumbled something and ran inside.
Then Joy told everything to Sid, and apologized for the unintentional damage to his house. “Don’t worry”, replied Sid. “My father will fix it in no time. Now let’s use this fruit for some fun!!” So the two friends went to a nearby mountain. They decided to make a secret and private cave in the mountain, where they can play in later. Joy took a bite of the fruit, and started digging the mountain with his bare hands. Surprisingly, he was easily able to carry stones larger than himself. By the time the magical strength wore off, he had created a deep cave in the mountain for them to play inside.
Unfortunately, a group of rowdy thieves were standing nearby and watching him. They came up to the boys and said, “Well done, kids! Now we shall use this cave to hide our stolen stuff. No one will be ever able to find us. As for you, you both run away now and never come back, or we will kill you!!”
Pretending to shiver with fear, Joy and Sid turned around to run. Quietly then, Sid took the last bite of the fruit, and turned back to the thieves. “This will teach you to behave nicely with little children and never underestimate them” he said, as he picked up the biggest one with only his little finger, and threw him far far away. All the other rowdies of the group ran away in fright and disappeared, just like the fruit itself!!
The kids were very happy to have their own secret place, all to themselves again!!
