Once upon a time there was a boy, his name Shrirama who really
like to play with birds and his dad got him a bird. Shrirama didn't
understand what bird was saying but bird knew what Shrirama wants, and he was
playing with Shrirama. The bird was happy that he got the owner who is
happy to take care of him and never get angry at him. Shrirama was
thinking of the name for the bird so he can call him with that name and he
thought that bird will like it so he name the bird Jatayu. Nobody in his
village had the bird as a pet and he took it outside to show everyone that he
has the bird as a pet that no one in the village does.
Not everyone in the village is good or bad but there are some or
few people who cannot tolerate the happiness of other or something good
happening to other. People with the most money tend to be arrogant people
and they will do anything in their power to make that person feel helpless.
They act just like rakshasa who want the destruction of others or make
them feel helpless because nobody can stand up to them. One of Shrirama's
friend whose name is Ravana who was rich and he saw him with the bird and he
went to told his dad he wants bird too like Shrirama. Ravana's dad told
him that he already has a dog as a pet and you don't take care of the dog so we
are not getting another pet for you.
Ravana got mad and went outside, to help him calm down his friend
took him to play. Where he saw Shrirama with his pet Jatayu and he got
jealous which made him think that he is going to took that bird away from
Shrirama. One day when Shrirama was not at home, Ravana took his bird
Jatayu since he was in his cage he couldn't fly away. When Shrirama came
home he saw that someone took his Jatayu and he was crying at the same time he
was really angry. He went to everyone's house and ask everyone that if
they have seen his bird Jatayu. Everyone said "We didn't saw"
and one of Shrirama's friend said "Ravana really wanted a bird after
looking at your bird maybe he took it."
Shrirama went to Ravana house and said "Ravana come out you
took my Jatayu" after hearing that Ravana came out as well as his father
and mother. They ask Shrirama what happen why are shouting outside my
house and Shrirama said "Ravana took my Jatayu" they didn't believe
it because Ravana was saying he didn't took it. Shrirama said "Your
son became arrogant when he got dog as pet and he got jealous when I got my
Jatayu." The argument went for long time and Ravana's mother remember him
going in the garage behind the house and told his father. After that they
went to check in the garage and they found out that Ravana did took Jatayu from
Shrirama's house. His dad got really angry at him and sold his dog, which
was his punishment for taking something that does not belong to him.
Everything went on happily after that.
I do not like the story where someone dies so in this story nothing like that happen.

Hey there Jeet, I really enjoyed how you reworked this story so that no one gets harmed or injured, but also in the end the villain gets his "just desserts" if you will. It is always good when the person doing the evil gets dealt the punishment in the end. Good job and keep up those creative writing styles.
ReplyDeleteHi again! I really liked this story. I always enjoy a good story with a happy ending. That really is a good way to retell some of these stories that have sad endings. Changing the ending can have a huge effect on the story as a whole. Great job with this story and I can not wait to read more.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeet, I liked how you edited the story how you wanted to tell it, and still managed to get the moral of the story across. It is interesting how the dad sold the dog because of the kids jealousy, and how that change in the ending made the whole story different. Great job on this story, I look forward to reading more in the future.
ReplyDeleteHey Jeet,
ReplyDeleteThat was a unique way of combining two stories! I also liked the note at the end where you don’t like writing about people dying. Changing the stories to match your preferred writing style and ideals adds a personal touch to them! There’s one thing you could add in your formatting to make it clear where the story ends though. When you are in “edit” mode, you can click on the “HTML” button near the top-left to view your text in the format that web browsers view it. If you add the following text on its own line “hr” surrounded by "<" and ">", it will add a horizontal line on your blog and it can section off the content from the footer information.
Hey Jeet! I love that you gave Jatayu a happy ending here. A lot of stories, I feel, are harsh and I like to give good characters happy endings. I also like that you portrayed Ravana as a spoiled brat. In the Ramayana, he was a bit like a large spoiled child. I'm not sure if you were trying to be funny, but Ravana's parents sound kind of sassy and I really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
