Train Your Children to
Tame Their Temper
Anger is quite a normal and healthy emotion if it can
be ventilated in a positive way. It ranges from mild anger to
rage which is extreme anger that may end up in violence or
aggression. If it is not controlled in time it may affect one’s
health and relationships. Some children may show episodes
of temper tantrums at times to get immediate gratification of
their desire.
Sometimes children exhibit anger, not merely because
of frustrations, but as an imitative behaviour of the adults such
as parents, relatives or teachers. The most important matter
is that parents and teachers should be aware and careful while
expressing their anger. From their behaviour at home and
school children should know that there can be disagreements
with others, but they should not develop contempt or grudge.
There can be an assertive way of expressing disagreements,
but it should be in a non-confrontational way; children should
be trained to state their concerns clearly and directly without
hurting others.
When children exhibit unwanted or untimely anger or
temper tantrums, one of the best ways to deal with it is by
neglecting it. After sometimes we will have to convince them
that anger won’t fix anything, but might only make it worse.
Instead of showing a manipulative behaviour they can be
encouraged to seek help at the right time. Our children should
also be convinced that if they can forget certain incidents and
forgive someone who angered them, both of them might learn
from the situation and maintain their relationships.
Parents and teachers can show their children an
exemplary behaviour of controlling their anger by expressing
it at the right degree, for a right purpose at the right time and
in the right way.

 Peeku the rabbit and his friends had a vegetable garden.
During the day, they worked hard in the garden. Jaggu the jackal
was their enemy. He always watched the rabbits from far with a
watering mouth. Peeku always found some trick or other to drive
away the jackal.
One day, Jaggu and his gang decided to attack Peeku and his
friends. It was night-time. The rabbits were lying outside their
burrows, enjoying the stars. Suddenly a friend of Peeku said,
“Shhh... There is someone behind the bushes!”
“Hmm...It must be Jaggu the jackal!” cried another.
“Friends, don’t be afraid. I think he is not alone. He has come
with his gang!” said Peeku.

 The rabbits began to cry. Brave Peeku thought of an idea. He
ran to the nearby banyan tree, where his firefly friends lived.
Peeku asked the King of fireflies to help him. The firefly king
agreed and said that he would come along with his army to help
them. As planned, Peeku and his friends hid inside their burrows.
When Jaggu and his gang of jackals came closer, they heard
some buzzing sound. They could see huge balls of fire
everywhere. Jaggu shouted aloud, “FIRE!...THE FOREST IS ON
FIRE!...RUN...”
Seeing them run, Peeku and his friends laughed and danced in
joy. They thanked the King Firefly and his army for their help. �

Long time ago, in the

beautiful Blossom forest
lived a rabbit family. Mama
and Papa rabbit lived with

M.R. Vijayan
their three children Bea,
Betty and Ben. Bea, the
eldest, was fun loving, bold
and intelligent. Bea’s leg
muscles were not strong. So she used a wheelchair to move around.
Everyone in the forest loved and admired Bea.
The King of Blossom
forest, Red Roger, the
lion created fear among
the animals.
One day Red Roger
announced a race for the
rabbits. The rabbits knew
this was a trick by the
King to find food for the

The Children’s Magazine June 2017 13

day. They were terrified.
Bea’s family was the most
terrified. “How will Bea
run?” cried Ben and Betty.
“We need to tell the king to
scrap this contest, but would
he listen to us?” sighed Mama
rabbit. “Don’t worry, Mama,
I will talk to the king
directly,” assured Bea.
The next day Bea went
to Red Roger’s cave. She addressed him calmly. “Your Majesty, as
I am wheelchair-bound I cannot win the race and will be your next
prey. Before I die I have two
wishes which I hope you will
be kind enough to agree.” Red
Roger thought, ‘Silly rabbit,
good she has understood she
will die.’ He then roared. “As
the King of the forest, I grant
your wishes.”
Bea said in a calm voice,
“Thanks, mighty King. My

14 The Children’s Magazine June 2017

first wish, you and I would compete in a race. Secondly, you need
to be on a wheelchair as well.” Red Roger thundered, “Let us
have the race tomorrow.” Bea thanked the King and hoped her
plan would work.
All the animals
gathered at the spot
where the race was
to begin. The race
began. Bea used her
hands on the wheels
and moved ahead
while Red Roger
struggled with the
wheel. The animals

cheered “Bea, Bea,
Bea…” Red Roger
pushed the wheels
hard. By then, Bea
moved past the lane and
went down the slope.
There was a big boulder on
the slope and Bea controlled
her wheelchair and moved left to avoid a crash. Red Roger was at
top speed along the slope and
when he saw the boulder his
eyes popped out. He tried all
his tricks to control the
wheelchair but failed. In full
speed, Red Roger crashed
against the boulder...
“THUD.”
Red Roger lay in a pool
of blood, dead. The animals
were happy to see Red
Roger dead. From that day,
Blossom forest was once
again peaceful.�

Anuradha Krishnan,
Ernakulam Little Raju lived with his
mother, near a forest. They often
visited the forest to pick berries
and fruits.
One morning, Ronu rabbit
who lived in a burrow under a
big tree at the edge of the forest,
came out and looked up. He saw
a black tail with a little tuft
hanging down from the branches.
M.R. Vijayan

“Oooh…” he said as he
trembled with fear. “A lion is
hiding among the branches!”
Saying so, he hopped on quickly to
inform his friend, Bonu, the bear.
“Oh my God!” groaned
Bonu, when he looked up the
tree. “It is, indeed, a lion,” he said
as his teeth chattered. “But, how

could a lion climb a
tree?” He seemed
shocked.
So, Bonu and
Ronu ran into the
forest to fetch Finnie,
the fox. Finnie came
along and had a look
at the tail which now swished
from side to side. She pointed at the silvery mane which was slightly
visible through the leaves and said, “It is a lion for sure!”
There was a rustle and
Trunkoo, the elephant,
walked by. “Oh Lord,” he
said, wiping his forehead with
his trunk. “What a bad time!
My enemy has started

Trunkoo hurried away.

hand. “Look Ma,” he said,

behind his mother. “There’s
a lion up there,” he said, as
the tail with the little tuft
moved more swiftly.
“He has a silvery mane
too,” Finnie added, peeping
from behind the mother.
Mother looked up for
a second. Then she smiled.
“It is not a lion,” she said,

Just then, the
branches of the tree
moved quickly and the

jumped down. For a
moment, he scratched
his head and stared at

all of them. Baring his teeth, he

quickly grabbed the cotton bag
which contained berries, from the
mother and jumped on to another
tree, nearby.

animals had a good laugh. �

different places. Finally, the hot summer season came. The merchant
loaded his horse with carpets and went out to sell them.
“Ha! That camel is lazing around the house whole day doing
nothing, while I’m burning my feet and my back in the desert heat!”
the horse thought. The next day, the horse pretended to be very
sick. “Oh! How will I go without my horse to sell the carpets?”
thought the distressed merchant. “Now this is the perfect time for
me to show my master that I can also carry the heavy goods just
like the horse!” the camel thought.
So he quickly went to the merchant wagging his small ropelike
tail and flapping his small ears. “I guess I’ve no other choice but to

So, he loaded many carpets
on the camel’s back. The
camel began walking very
fast so that he could impress
the merchant.
“Hmm…! You’re much
stronger than that lazy horse! From now on I’ll only bring you!” the
merchant said.�

such acts. But they were kind and good at
heart and were always willing to help others.
Their kindness had endeared them to all the animals except
Sheru Lion. They both wanted to have a ride on Sheru’s back but
Sheru never allowed this. After all, he was the king of the jungle.
He never allowed the mice to sit on his back and enjoy the ride. So
Golu and Bholu decided to teach him a lesson for his arrogance.
Somehow they reached his house and found his favourite coat which
he always wore. They looked at each other, smiled and jumped
into the pockets of the coat and cut the seams of both the pockets
and ran away.
The next day Sheru went to a shop
and purchased some toffees and balloons.

into uncontrollable laughter. Sheru felt humiliated and could not
face the other animals. He immediately came out of the shop. He
knew that nobody could have done this except those naughty Golu
and Bholu. Sheru was angry and decided to make them pay dearly
for their mischief.
One day Sheru was wandering near a river. He found them
playing hide-and-seek among the trees. He very carefully went
near them and caught them in his paws. Poor Golu and Bholu started
trembling with fear. The frightened Golu requested,
“Please, let us go. We will leave this jungle and never come back.”
Before Sheru could reply anything, they heard the sound of a
gun-shot. Now it was Sheru’s turn to be frightened. He stood
trembling, while big drops of sweat started trickling down from

both ran towards the
hunter and bit his legs and
ran all over his body. The
hunter shouted in pain and vanished from
the spot within no time.
As soon as the hunter made a hasty
retreat, both the mice appeared before
Sheru with folded hands. Sheru laughed
and spoke in a friendly manner. “Don’t
hesitate, come and have a ride on me.”
They both jumped
with joy and sat on
Sheru’s back. Now all
the three became very
good friends. Golu and

ever after.��

Mary Parrot was holding a discussion in her class. The

topic was ‘Recall your worst nightmare.’
Anil Squirrel was the first to raise his paw. He said, “I once
had a nightmare that all the nutty trees in the forest were felled
by woodcutters!” Remembering it, he broke out in sweats.
Bunty Rabbit patted Anil Squirrel’s hand and said, “I had
the worst nightmare ever! I dreamt that I had been to the dentist
with a toothache and he said I should not eat carrots for a month!”
Bunty Rabbit pouted, “Imagine having to go without carrots for
a month!” Everyone laughed at Bunty Rabbit’s angry face.

turn. Grinning he said, “My
nightmare was that, because
of e-mails, the postman
stopped delivering letters to
our house.” Tommy Dog
always jumped at every
chance to chase a postman.
Mary Parrot looked at Tommy
disapprovingly and said,
“Don’t be naughty Tommy!”
Tommy Dog looked ashamed.

shiver. Mary Parrot patted and comforted her.
When it was Balu Bear’s turn, Monu Monkey who resided in
a house above Balu’s, jumped up and exclaimed, “Balu never has
nightmares. The minute his head touches the pillow he starts snoring
so loudly that it gives me nightmares.”
The entire class and the teacher burst out laughing.��

 The pranks and silly things which Thief did were annoying the
villagers. They wanted to call a monkey catcher to capture the
monkey as they were tired of his mischievous behaviour. Thief
would always steal their food and so they wanted to punish him.
One evening unexpectedly, Thief, the wild monkey was hungry
and decided to steal food from the villagers. The monkey catcher,
who was planning to capture him, spotted Thief. But, Thief was
too quick for him and managed to escape.
Thief had run away from the monkey catcher but in his great
hurry to get away, he stumbled and fell upon a rock. He fell on his
bottom!

The Children’s Magazine June 2017 43

 Soon, a lump appeared on Thief’s bottom.
It was on the same place where he had fallen
on. Day after day, the lump grew bigger and
bigger until it looked like a tail.
Since he was unable to get rid of his tail,
Thief learnt to appreciate this new part of
his body. Due to his bravery in
escaping the monkey catcher, he
became a hero in the ‘monkey
world.’ His sons, grandsons
and great grandsons were
also born with this ‘new’tail.
From then on, all monkeys have tails. �

One day, Raby, the little

Rabbit woke up feeling
hungry. He came out and
stood under an apple tree. “I
want to eat those red apples.
The tree is very high and I
can’t climb it,” he thought
sadly.
He looked around and saw Pony bear nearby.
“Can you please get me those apples?” he asked her.
“Well, the tree is too high for me. Why
don’t you have some fresh leaves
instead,” she said.
“No, thanks,” said
Raby.
Soon he saw Rimmy
Rhino with her calf.

54 The Children’s Magazine June 2017

 “Hi, Rimmy aunty. Can
you help me get those
apples?” he asked.
“O dear! I can’t,” said
she shaking her head.
“I will have to think of
some way to get those apples
myself,” thought Raby. He collected some pebbles from the ground
and began throwing them at the tree.
Alas! None hit the target.
He was about to give up and going to eat grass when he heard
a voice behind.

He was happy to see

“Oh, Gen, can you get
those apples for me?” Raby
said pointing towards the
tree.
“Why not?” said Gen.
He was tall enough to reach
the bunches of apples on
the tree.
“Thank you so much
dear Gen,” said Raby jumping with joy.
Then both the friends feasted on those sweet apples and shared
them with their friends too. �

 In Mexico, the children often sing a
song about a bird, Pajaro-cu.
Pajaro-cu,cu,cu,
Pajaro-cu, cu,cu,
Poor little bird, cu,cu,
And poor owlet cooing too.
They tell a little story about this song.
Long long ago, the world was made. The
birds were made. All the birds had feathers
except one, the Pajaro-cu.
Murali
The Eagle was the chief, he was very
proud. He did not like the featherless Pajaro-
cu. He wanted to put Pajaro-cu out of the
country.
The gentle Dove took pity on the poor
bird. She suggested, “If each one of us give
him a feather, it will make a beautiful coat
for him.”
64 The Children’s Magazine June 2017
“That’s a fine idea,” said the crow. All
the other birds agreed and were ready to give
a feather to Pajaro-cu.
But, the Peacock cried out, “No, no. He
will be so beautiful. Think how beautiful he
will become!” The Peacock continued, “Dear
friends, he will become proud. We shall never
be able to manage him.”
The owl opened his big round eyes,
looked at the Peacock. “Jealous!” he
muttered.
Kamala Rausan,
Thiruvananthapuram
The Eagle screamed, “Someone must
guide him, watch him.”
The Owl opened his eyes wide and said,
“I will guide him and watch out for him.”
All the birds agreed. They began giving
feathers to Pajaro-cu.
The Peacock gave a tiny grey feather.
The Robin pulled a bright red feather. The
Jay and Bluebird gave blue feathers. An
orange-coloured feather from Oriole and a

yellow feather from the Humming bird.
Pajaro-cu’s tail was covered with
feathers from the Crow, the Blackbird, the
Gull, the Mocking bird and the Pelican.
On his head was a feather from the
Quail and one from the Turkey, a bright
one.
Pajaro-cu was the most beautiful bird,
with so many colourful feathers. Pajaro-

among the ordinary birds.

“I am too blind to search
for him in the day-time,” the
Owl said. The Road Runner and
the Dove agreed to help the Owl.
The Road Runner said, “I shall
watch the roads by day to find Pajaro-cu.”
The Dove said, “I will hunt for the lost
bird.”
The Owl decided, “I can search at night.”
During the day time, the Dove still calls,
“Cu, cu, cu.”
At night the Owl moans, “Whu, whu,

In the morning, when I wake up, I hear the sweet

chirps of many birds. I also hear the naughty sounds of
squirrels. All these come from the huge tree that is near
my home. It is so broad and beautiful with many big
branches. I can see the nests of many birds in it. The bees
also have made their beehives in it. It’s so funny to watch
the squirrels run, jump and play on the branches. My cat
and dog take rest under this tree. My friends and I also
play in the shade of this tree. Many times we wave to the
birds and the squirrels while playing under this tree. I
love my tree and I want it to be there always.��
