APPA
Keeraikuppam was a small coastal village
near Nagapatinam. Even though the people
in the village toiled in the seas every day,
they lived happily. It was a pleasant Sunday
morning in December. Just like any other
day, the villagers had started their routine.
A few of them had already left to the sea,
and the others were preparing to go to sea.
Meena's family was also at the shore to see
off her father going to the sea. After the men
sailed into the sea, the women would return
to other tasks that need their attention. The
children would play under the many coconut
trees in the village.
The village bell was about to strike eight
times. The bell caretaker was ready to ring
the bell. Just then, he saw that the sea water
had receded a few hundred metres. Soon,
many in the village noticed the same. All the
children and the villagers started running
towards the sea.
4
Meena and her mother were also with them.
The seawater continued to recede. All had
gathered along the shore to see it. The bell
hit eight times. People now saw a wave far
away in the sea. Excitedly, they pointed to
the wave that was raising high in the sea.
It was common for people to be excited by
big waves in Keeraikuppam. Everyone was
getting ready to brace the big wave that was
coming towards them.

Little did they know that the wave was
increasing in height and would seem to
touch the sky as it neared them. It was now
getting closer to the shore with a roar.
Gazing at the wave far away, Meena's mother
felt a sudden fear gripping her. She felt that
something was wrong. She caught Meena by
her hand and started running towards their
home. The wave came closer to the shore
had crushed the fishing boats. Before they
reached their home, the powerful wave had
hit the village. Meena and her mother could
hear their friends and family screaming
all around them. The seawater entered the
village and washed out the huts and boats.
The water hit their hut too. Meena and her
mother were separated and thrown off.
Then, slowly, the water receded again into
the sea. Meena's mother gathered herself
and searched for Meena. It was then that the
second massive wave hit the village. Meena's
mother was washed away by the wave.
Meena, whirled through the water, struggling
to breathe. One moment she was inside
the water, and all was dark around her. In
the next, she could see the sky. The wave
banged her to the trunk of a coconut tree.
She wrestled the wave and firmly hugged the
tree. Soon, she fainted.

When she woke up, she was in the hospital.
After she recovered, they transferred her to
` GANGA ` ENGLISH `
a rehabilitation centre. The centre housed
nearly 99 boys and girls. A kind-hearted
official of the centre was always very kind
to the children. He often used to visit them
with his family. Meena was the youngest of
all and soon was loved by all. The incharge
and his wife often carried Meena while they
played with other children. All children used
to call them Amma and Appa. After three
years the official was transferred. He and his
family continued to visit the centre once a
year for the next five years.
Meena now opened her eyes. Her cheeks
were moist. All this seemed like it happened
yesterday. The school bell rang and, Meena
wiped her cheeks to get ready for her English
class. Meena was good at studies and now
was in the twelfth standard. The teacher was
teaching, and Meena was writing her notes.
She then heard a familiar voice calling her,
4
“Meenu”. She raised her head to see. She
was surprised to see her father, the official
standing at the entrance. He was smiling
at her. She stared at him blankly for a few
seconds, with tears rolling down her cheeks.
She jumped out of her bench and dashed
towards him, calling “Appa!”

A TRUE FRIEND
Nandhini and Pandi were good friends since
childhood. They lived in the same street,
so they were always together. Every day
Pandi would stop at her home on the way to
school. Both would walk to school chatting
and playing. Sometimes, they would race
home from school. They always took part in
school activities together. They helped each
other in their lessons.
One day, as usual, Pandi came to Nandhini's
home. She looked upset and sad. Pandi
asked her “Why are you sad?”, she did not
answer. Instead, she shook her head. “Did
your parents scold you?”, asked Pandi. She
did not answer him. He grabbed her bag and
said excitedly, “Catch me if you can.” But she
did not respond. Pandi stopped and gave the
bag back. They walked silently to the school.

She closed her eyes and tried to catch it.
THUD! She caught it. It was a big green frog.
Everyone ran away as they were scared of the

Nandhini's eyes were wide open with

Save Wisely
Every year, Kamali and her cousins would
visit their grandparents in their native village
for the car festival that lasted for three days.
The entire village will be in a festive mood.
The children were the most excited. The
family members and relatives would give
the children money to buy sweets and toys.
The children would buy toys, chocolates,
sweets or packed food items. They would
spend all the money, and never saved the
money at all. Their grandfather felt that the
children should learn to save and use their
money wisely. So, this year, he announced
that the children should save the money they
get over the course of a year, and spend it
purposefully.
The children were not at all excited by the
announcement. Rajan and Mala were the
youngest of the kids. They did not take
the grandfather seriously. They spent
their money on sweets and toys. The other
siblings, Jayan and Kavery, decided to enjoy
the festival to the fullest. They bought every
single type of food available across the shops.

Kamali had a clear plan. She had a friend
named Anandhi. Anandhi's father was a
flutist. They lived in the same street, so the
girls used to visit each other often. On many
of these occasions, Anandhi used to teach
her to play the flute. Kamali always wanted
to buy a flute. At the end of one year, she
managed to save some amount. At that time,
her father needed money urgently and asked
if he could use her savings. He promised to
return the money soon. Kamali gave her
savings to her father. Although she was
proud of helping her father, she still wanted
to buy the flute. She was disappointed.
Soon it was time to visit the village. Everyone
was happy to meet each other after one year.
On the day of the car festival, the whole
family gathered in the village. Everyone in
the family shared about the year gone one by
one. After dinner, Senthil brought his new
camera and told grandpa how he had saved
and bought the camera. Grandpa was very
proud and happy. He congratulated him.
