Twisted Tales of Twisterland

Once upon a time, in the lively town of Twisterland, there lived a mischievous little girl named Tessa who had a knack for creating tongue twisters. Her imagination knew no bounds, and she loved challenging her friends and family with her creations. One sunny morning, Tessa set off on an adventure, determined to come up with the most mind-boggling tongue twisters the world had ever seen.

As Tessa walked along a winding path, she spotted a group of chatty parrots perched on a patchwork fence. She greeted them with a smile and said, “Pretty Polly picked a peck of perfectly plump peppers, but how many peppers did Pretty Polly pluck?”

The parrots squawked in amazement but quickly recovered and chirped, “Tessa, we challenge you to twist our tongues! Say ‘Silly Sally sells slippery seashells by the seashore’ ten times fast!”

Tessa accepted their challenge and rattled off the twister effortlessly, leaving the parrots astonished. She continued on her way, determined to create more puzzling phrases.

As she ventured deeper into the forest, Tessa stumbled upon a group of squirrels scampering around. Intrigued by her presence, they chittered, “Tessa, we dare you to say ‘Seven slinky snakes slithered silently across the stone’ without tripping over your words!”

Tessa accepted the dare and confidently recited the tongue twister, leaving the squirrels in awe. They chattered among themselves, impressed by her skills.

Feeling emboldened, Tessa hopped over a babbling brook and encountered a friendly family of bunnies. They wiggled their noses and said, “Oh, Tessa, let’s see if you can master ‘How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?’ in record time!”

Tessa grinned mischievously and took up the challenge. With lightning speed, she repeated the tongue twister flawlessly, earning applause from the bunnies. They hopped in circles, excited by her talent.

As Tessa journeyed further, she encountered a pair of wise old owls perched on a towering tree branch. They swiveled their heads and hooted, “Young Tessa, can you recite ‘She sells sea shells by the seashore’ while skipping on a see-saw?”

Tessa’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as she accepted the challenge. Balancing on a see-saw, she flawlessly recited the twister, leaving the owls wide-eyed with amazement. They hooted their approval and declared her the “Twister Queen.”

Word of Tessa’s astonishing tongue twisters spread throughout Twisterland, attracting animals and townsfolk from far and wide. Everyone eagerly gathered at the town square, eagerly awaiting her next feat.

Tessa stood before the crowd, taking a deep breath. She had a final challenge to share. With her voice echoing through the square, she declared, “Peter Piper’s purple pickled peppers are perfect for a peculiar picnic!”

The townspeople erupted into cheers and applause. They marveled at Tessa’s incredible talent and showered her with praise. Tessa blushed, grateful for their support.

From that day forward, Tessa became the pride of Twisterland. People came from all corners of the world to witness her mesmerizing tongue twisters. She even earned the admiration of the famous tongue twister artist, Timmy, who declared her his worthy successor.

And so, Tessa’s legacy grew, and the town of Twisterland became known as the Land of Tongue Twisters. Visitors would leave with twisted tongues and smiling faces, forever enchanted by Tessa’s remarkable talent.

In the Land of Tongue Twisters, Tessa’s name lived on, echoing in the laughter and merriment that filled the air. And as the years passed, new generations of children would gather to hear the legendary tales of Tessa, the girl who had twisted the world’s tongues.

An original humility tale, written by our student Aishwarya Nagar.

Aishwarya is a student, studying at the prestigious Asian World School, Jaipur. We are proud to have her as a student of the Creative Writing Program through Applied Storytelling under the mentorship of Trainer Khusshbo Chokhaani. We congratulate Aishwarya for this exemplary true self-expression.

The Real Wealth

On a Sunday morning, Jack a 10-year-old kid, woke up at 6:00 am and sat down with his father in their lounge. His family was wealthy and affluent. The wealth made him selfish. He always used to give himself airs and he used to show off a lot. That was the reason he never made any friends. Everybody hated him but he would never change the way he was. He often used to wear a hoodie and a black cap. He also wore glasses, almost as big as his face.

His father somehow got to know about his behavior, although he was a busy man. So, when they were sitting together, he thought of talking to him. He asked Jack “Son, why do you treat others so badly as if they know nothing or have nothing. They are also children like you”.

Jack replied, “Dad they are so dumb, and they are so imperfect. I am so glad that we are rich”. Suddenly Jack called one of their servants and asked him to bring water for him. His dad said, “You can bring water yourself, now you need a servant for that too”. But he was too lazy to do that.

His dad said, “You should make some friends”, but Jack, would never listen.

His dad had an idea. He had a friend who was not from such a rich background, but he was his best friend. Jack’s dad told his friend about his son’s behavior and asked him if he could stay at their home for a day. His friend agreed.

Jack’s dad took him to his friend’s home. Jack saw many interesting things which he had never seen before. He enjoyed it a lot while exploring things. When they came back home his dad asked him about all things he saw.

Jack said “Dad we buy food, but they grow their food. We have only one dog, but they have 4 dogs and many cows. We have imported lanterns in our garden, but they have beautiful stars at night. We have servants to work for us, but they work for others, and most importantly we have walls to protect us, but they have friends to protect them. Thanks, Dad for showing me how poor we are.

We have money but we don’t have real happiness. From today, I will be humble to everyone, and I won’t insult anyone”. His dad said, “I am glad that you understood”.
