airy. We have very comfortable chairs and tables for us. The furniture is
made of wood and well painted. On the front wall there is black board,

2. A Visit to a Bus Stand
Bus stand is a place where bus stops to pick the passengers and drops the
passengers. One day I got a chance to visit the bus stand of my city. I went
there to see off my uncle. There I met different kind of persons. They all
belong to different places and going to different destinations. I used to
talk some of them. At one corner of bus stand there were some stalls like
tea stall, juice stall and a stall having snacks, candies and other things.
3. My Favourite Hobby
To have a hobby is very good and refreshing. My hobby is reading. I read
my syllabus books but as a hobby I use to read some other books also. I
have read some stories of Premchand and Jaishankar Prasad. These
stories teach us a lesson of life.
4. A Snake Charmer
One day, as I remember it was a festival day. A snake charmer came in my
colony. He showed us different kinds of snake. One of them was the
snake with mouth on both ends. The snake charmer was playing on flute
and make the snake dance on the flute's rythm. It was so charming to see
that scene. All the children enjoyed a lot. After that we all brought milk to
give snake charmer for snakes.
5. The Thing I Like Most
I like most my painting book. I like drawing and painting. This painting
book is brought to me by my grandfather. The cover of this book consists
of an abstract with fantastic colour. I have drawn and painted some
cartoons and landscapes in this book. This book is a collection of my
painting, so it is very near to my heart and liked by me the most.
6. A Ride on an Elephant
Elephant is a big animal. I had a dream to ride on it. Yesterday I got my
dream true. I had a ride on an Elephant. I sat on it, first I got afraid, but as
soon as it moved, I felt very well. The feeling with its movement was like
having fun. I enjoyed a lot riding on an Elephant.
