Bislanda and the Apple Tree

Once there lived a girl named Bislanda who loved gardening. There was a garden near her house. One day while going to the market, she went past the garden and saw a sapling looking dried up in one corner of the garden. It was so small and was hidden behind the bushes. She started watering it everyday. And soon it grew into a fine apple tree and then it started giving the sweetest apples in the world. She plucked an apple and ran home. She handed it to her mother and told about her secret tree. Mom loved the apple and was very impressed. She told Bislanda that from that day, she will also help her water the tree. And the apple tree grew better and better .....

Wayanad Visit

I went to Wayanad for 3 days.

I saw many animals there like the spotted deer, monkeys and wild squirrels. I went through a bamboo forest and saw many bee hives. The houses over there are all made out of bamboo. The house that we were living in had pinkish-red roses and all kinds of flowers.

I went with Mamma, Ajith, Vivek, Amal and Arun. I went to Muthanga bamboo forest, Soojipara waterfall and Karapuzha dam. I saw tea, rubber, vegetable, coffee and banana plantations all along the way. We stopped at a lotus pond and it looked beautiful.

I saw paddy fields, hens and ducks in a village. I saw a calf eating grass. It's tongue was black and pink. I went to all the places in a jeep and met many nice people. Have you ever visited Wayanad?
