ANTHOLOGY OF SHORT STORIES FOR YOUNG LEARNERS

(fms2022) #1

Deep in the forest, Theingi
heard a soft, pitiful voice crying out
for help!


Theingi carefully searched his
surroundings and stumbled upon a
bush. The sound came from under it.
Digging underneath, he found an old,
dirty bottle and opened it up.


A fairy popped out!

Dancing and darting about
joyfully, she thanked Theingi for
rescuing her.


As a token of appreciation, the
fairy decided to grant Theingi a
special wish.


Theingi quickly wished to turn
dirt into gold!

The fairy excitedly told Theingi
that the silver powder found on
banana leaves could turn dirt into gold.
He should plant banana trees and cast
spells on them.

Theingi had to gather a pound of
silver powder to turn dirt into gold.
The fairy gave him 100 coins to buy
banana plants.

Early the next morning, Theingi
went to the market to buy some
banana saplings. Clearing up the field,
he planted them while chanting the
magic spells.
