THE MAGICAL SOAP

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Joy. One day a little boy, Ali came with his mother to his home. Ali started fighting with Ginni over a toy. Joy quickly saved Ginni from him, and stood in between both the children so that they could not harm each other. Then he called for his mother. When mom came, she helped the little kids play nicely together. She was very happy with Joy’s timely actions. Someone else was happy too—
The Blue Fairy.
The Blue Fairy came in his dreams that night, and said, “Joy, I have decided to reward you being so caring. So I’ll give you this magical soap. This soap can clean anything, and you can use it thrice. Bye”
When Joy woke up, he found a glowing blue colored soap under his pillow. “What will I do with a soap?” Joy thought, and went to his best friend – Sids’ house. When he reached Sid’s houe, he could hear Sid crying loudly.
“I wonder what the matter is?” Joy thought.
Soon he found out that Ali had been to his home too, and he had scribbled all over Sid’s school copy and tore off a few pages. Sid was very upset because School copies are supposed to be maintained neatly. Now his teacher would surely scold him….
“Don’t worry Sid, I’ll mend your copy”, said Joy. Then he used his magical soap on the copy. Immediately, the copy was good as new, with all the dirty scribbling gone and the torn pages fixed too!!
“Wow, thanks man!!” gushed Sid, when Joy showed him the copy and the magical soap. The mischievous duo decided to play a trick on Joy’s mother.
They started scribbling and doodling all over the room. They drew and painted on the walls and the floor. Then Sid went and complained to Joy’s mother, “Auntie, see Joy has scribbled on the walls.”
When Mom saw the room, she was absolutely furious!! But as she started scolding Joy, Sid quickly used the soap on the room, and the room turned into a totally clean room- spick and span. “I must be day-dreaming!!” Mom thought and went back to her chores confused.
Before long, Joy had a chance to use the soap again. His family went to the Qurum beach that Friday, and the beach was littered here and there with empty chips packets and soda cans etc. His father explained, “Some people do not realize that public properties belong to all of us, and we should take care of them as we take care of our home!! Beaches, Parks and Roads are all places we should strive to keep neat and tidy. We must make sure we leave a place cleaner than before.”
As they were leaving the beach, Joy decided to use his magic soap for the third and the last time, to clean the beach perfectly. He hoped that future visitors to the beach would love a clean beach, and try to keep it so.
