Stories from India

In Year 5, we have been learning about stories from India. After reading a short story called "The Faithful Sister", we wrote our own versions of the narrative. Here is an extract from Millie's (5G) version.

Once there was a beautiful girl, who longed for a beloved baby brother to play with.

Finally, after a long and lonely 14 years her dearest sweetest brother had set foot on earth and brought happiness to her empty heart. It was such a magical moment.

Unfortunately, when she was 15 she was destined to be married. She happily was married to her beloved husband, however she regretted one thing … leaving her beloved baby brother!

Eventually, she started her own wonderful family. She gave birth to two children who she cherished, but she never stopped missing her dearest brother.

One lovely hot summer’s day there was a knock at the door. The sister reached for the knob and quickly turned it. “Hello…sister?” The brother mumbled very confused. “Oh dearest, sweetest brother, I have missed you so “the sister cried relived that her brother had finally come. “Come in please! “The sister stated. “Yes, yes “the brother replied.  “I will make you some sweets for your journey home, why are you here?” The sister asked politely. “I have come to invite you to my wedding “he exclaimed. “Of cause I will come to your wedding!”  She exclaimed. So the sister got to work and shortly finished.

“Thank you very much for the sweets but I must be of now. “And so the brother set of on his long journey home. “Goodbye brother! “The sister shouted. The brother waved back.
