Lemo The Lemon-Short Story #1

It was summertime.

Lemo, the lemon was bored.

He said to his friend Leno, “Why do I need to hang on this tree?”.

“Well, I don’t know why but I am sweating”, answered Leno sleepily.

“We are hanging here for one month. I hope we soon get used to it,” said Leno.

“Yes, that would be wonderful”, said Lemo.

“But still why? Do we need to hang over here? I just want to chill in the ac like humans”, said Leno.

“So do I”, said Lemo sadly.

“Don’t be sad it’s okay we cannot do anything. Let’s accept our reality”, said Leno.

Then suddenly, a farmer from another field came and said, “yes your friend is right every living thing has to do duties and your duty is to tolerate the heat and become a ripe fruit”.

The First Flower- Short Story #2

When I was 7 years old. I loved to see flowers and plants. There were five months left for my birthday. I already thought about what gift I wanted for my birthday. I wanted a garden of my own. My father agreed to my wish. Though he kept a condition. That was to finish my homework for school and tuition classes every day on time. I agreed to his condition as well.  Two weeks later after my birthday, we moved into a big house which had a plot for building a small garden. I was delighted. I thanked my father. The very next day we bought seeds, small plants to plant. We planted the seeds and small plants. Watered regularly, took care, and showered love on it. After six months there was a big plant. I was on cloud nine to see my hard work showing results. After 4-5 days there was one pretty purple flower on that tree. That was the first flower in my garden.
