Satabuddhi said, “You are a genius,
Sahsrabuddhi! What you say is correct. There is
nothing that accomplished men cannot
conquer. Even the great Chanakya had single
handedly killed the entire army of Nandas.”
Then, Ekabuddhi, the frog, said, “Friends, I am
not as learned or brave as you are. The only
thing I know is to leave the place where there is
an impending danger. So, I and my wife will
leave this place tonight itself.”
Accordingly, the frog left the lake immediately.
Next day, the fishermen arrived early in the
morning near the lake. They cast their net and
caught a lot of fish, frogs, crabs, turtles etc.
Satabuddhi and Sahasrabuddhi were also
caught and killed by the fishermen.
Ekbuddhi, who was watching all this from the
distance mourned over the death of his foolish
and overconfident friends.
Along time ago, two fish named Sahasrabuddhi
and Satabuddhi used to live in a lake.They were
friends with a frog whose name was Ekbuddhi.
One day, as the three friends were having a
good time together, they saw some fishermen
near the lake. They were taking amongst
themselves about coming to that lake the next
day with their nets and catching the fish.
The frog was very disturbed to hear the
conversation of the fishermen. Ekbuddhi, the
frog asked Sahsrabudhhi,“Dear friend, you just
heard about the fishermen’s plan. Now, what
should we do? Should we remain in the lake or
go somewhere else?”
Sahsrabuddhi replied, “Dear Ekbuddhi, you
should not be scared by just words. The learned
have said: ‘The world is still safe because the
dreams of snakes and wicked men never come
true’. The fishermen may not even come
tomorrow! Even if they do, we will think of
something to save you and ourselves. There is

How large unto the tiny fly
Must little things appear!—
A rosebud like a feather bed,
Its prickle like a spear;
A dewdrop like a looking-glass,
A hair like golden wire;
The smallest grain of mustard-seed
As fierce as coals of fire;
A loaf of bread, a lofty hill;
A wasp, a cruel leopard;
And specks of salt as bright to see
As lambkins to a shepherd.

4. Sam Visits Dubai's Miracle Garden
Discover a
new place
I’m in a garden with around 100 million flowers!! I’m at the Miracle Garden in Dubai,
and I have never seen so many flowers in one place!! Located next to Dubai Land in Al
Bashra, the garden is spread over 72000 sq.mt and is the largest flower garden in the
world.
I cannot decide what I like more – the blooming pyramids and igloos, the floral heart
archways, or the archways with a ceiling of colorful umbrellas! It’s like an exhibition of
glorious botanical art. There are more than 70 varieties flowers here, most of them
rare, and new to the Middle East.
The garden was built by Al-Ain based Akar Landscaping and Agriculture Company as
an outdoor attraction for residents and tourists alike. This place is a major crowd puller,
around 30,000 on weekends!
This garden is also known for its kilometer long flower wall. I haven’t even mentioned
the butterfly garden yet. Would you believe it? Domes full of live, colorful fluttering
butterflies! Need I say more?
The most interesting thing about this garden isn’t the amazing display of flowers
though. One would expect a place such as this to consume water and energy on a mas-
sive scale. Although by no means a minimal consumer of water and energy, the attrac-
tion has a sub-surface irrigation system that recycles waste water via drip irrigation
while avoiding evaporation and saving up to 75% of water and energy!

dog who had gone missing.
Though they hadn't seen her dog,
they did have an orphaned baby
sloth that needed some care and
attention. She went to the shelter
looking for her dog and returned

7. Akbar Birbal
Back to Square One
comic story
An astrologer was flaunting his knowledge
of the solar system and the earth’s shape.
You say that
the earth is round in shape, so
if one travels in a straight line,
then he will come back to the same
spot from where he started the
journey. Isn’t it?
Because one will have to
cross vast oceans, high
mountains and dense forests
to keep the path straight.
Yes,
theoretically,
it is correct
Alampanah! Why not in
real life?

8. Well, that can be
taken care of! Sail through the
oceans, make tunnels in the
mountains and use elephants
to cross the forests.
No sir, still it is
not possible.
Why?
It will take many
years to complete
the whole journey.
How many years,
tell me?
Don’t worry about that.
I will ask my courtiers.
They have an answer for
everything.
Impossible
to calculate!
Around 25
years!
Fifty years
or less.
1000 days!
I cannot
calculate that!
May be a hundred
years or more.

9. Everybody said something or
the other but Birbal kept quiet.Birbal, I did not
expect you to be so
silent. Do you have
no answer for this
question?
I was just
calculating the time
required to go round
the earth.
And did
you get the
answer?
Yes, I did!
It will take just
one day.
It is possible,
Alampanah! Provided you
travel at the speed of
the sun!
Just one day! Birbal,
it is impossible! I wonder how
you even came up with that answer.
In one day, we will not be able
to cross the territories
of our own kingdom.

10. Complete the Story...
Sigmund was a very lazy sloth. He spent his
days lounging on the branches of a mas-
sive tree that was always cool, quiet and
shaded. When it came time to look for
some food, Sigmund would slooooowly
rise and move around. He rarely got
hungry, so it didn't matter to him if he took
his time. One afternoon, as Sigmund was
lounging, he heard a branch snap. He
turned his head to see a very large and
very hungry snake staring at him...
