An original story on the scientific concept of cell written by our student Arnav Govil.

Arnav is 12 years old young writer from Gurgaon. He is enthusiastic about Cricket. We are proud to have him as a student of the Little Writers Program, an Online Creative Writing Program using Applied Storytelling & Applied Theatre tools under the mentorship of Trainer Khusshbo Chokhaani. We congratulate Arnav for this exemplary true self-expression.

Story Of A Cell

Rahul a curious 8th-grade science teacher always loved to teach in a new way. He thought it was important that the students enjoy it. He decided to teach cell through a story. “Good morning class, today we will be starting a new topic cell and the cell system.

It’s boring to learn the definitions and write them. Let me explain it to you in a story form” said the science teacher. “This is going to fun,” said Atharv to his friend Arnav. “Everything is fun after studying maths for an hour,”said Arnav laughingly.

Rahul the teacher began narrating the story in his great style….

One day two cells came to my dreams and started talking to each other.

“Hey, the humans keep on talking about the brain, heart, liver, kidney, and how important they are. We are also very important. The human body won’t function without us. We are the basic building block of all living things. We have many different functions. No living thing can function without cells. We are responsible for all the basic functions of life. Without us humans couldn’t do anything, humans wouldn’t even exist!”

“I agree with you”, said the second cell to the first one.  The second cell continued.

“We are minute. Humans can’t see us without a microscope. We are surrounded by a lot of other cells, blood, veins, and other boring stuff. There are many small things inside us that have different functions. They are called organelles. All of them are very useful but we are scared from one of them.”

The first cell intervene and started talking, “The ones we are scared of are known as lysosomes. Humans call them the suicide bag of cells as they contain digestive enzymes and eat their own cells when damaged. They also digest worn-out organelles.”

“Yes, you are correct”, Said the second cell and he took over the conversation. “Every human has a brain and it can’t do much without it. We have a nucleus which is known as our Brain. It tells us what to do and when and how to grow. The endoplasmic reticulum found through the cell acts as a channel and stuff like protein goes through it which helps in our growth. As I told you we are surrounded by a lot of other cells, so that we don’t crash into each other and have a fight between us. There is a cell membrane that protects us cells from other cells and other materials.”

The first cell started, “Everyone has something to store their stuff in like humans have cupboards. We have Golgi apparatus. It’s a weird name, sometimes we also forget the name. Anyway, the Golgi apparatus can also modify and pack materials not just store it. Vacuoles are also somehow like Golgi apparatus but they can’t pack or modify materials . They are just for storing water, food, and waste. Just like the liver is the powerhouse of the body, the powerhouse of the cell is mitochondria. It produces energy through aerobic respiration. Our another friend is centrosome. Centrosome plays an important role during cell division, it’s only present in an animal cell. The work of a centrosome is boring, isn’t it?”

“Ohh no we will meet again someday. I need to go, I can see a lysosome eating organelles. I am scared I have to rush, it was nice talking to you Mr. Rahul”, said the first cell.

The second cell also said, “I hope that some of your students grow up to become cell biologists. Bye bye.”

“I opened my eyes and realized it was a dream. I came to school”, said Rahul the teacher

“This was so fun,” said all the children in the class and they thought school would be so fun if all the classes and subjects are taught in a story form like this.

“I would like to grow up and become a cell biologist,” said Atharv . “I am still interested in becoming a cricketer,” said Arnav.

Mimi And The Trees

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Mimi. She was very brave and confident. Yet she had only one mystery thing in her that she had yet to be discovered. She had only one weakness, she loved fruits. She lived in a tribe called Ranchi. She had many friends and a pet wolf too. Mimi found him drowning in a river in the mountains and luckily, she managed to save the little cub.

One day she went hunting with her tribe and parents as it was too risky for children to be alone in the mud–huts with no protection if a snow leopard comes. As she went on, all of the women of the tribe saw pear trees. Mimi exclaimed, “What a rare sight! Pear trees growing in the mountains!” They started plucking them and putting them in their natural fiber baskets, the men had hunted two snow tigers and one wild boar. The leader of the tribe announced, “we will have a great feast with all of this porkchop!” everyone started cheering. But Mimi suspected danger nearby.

When night fell, six men of the tribe found a huge rock to place for a table as the feast was about to start. Mimi was still suspecting danger; the feast had begun. Everyone chatted, ate and drank till they were full. Mimi heard something hiding in the bushes then she saw were two bright white eyes, and she realized what “it” was. She screamed, “Everyone! Run for your lives! It’s a snow leopard hiding in the bushes!”.

The great leopard leaped onto the tribe. the tribe warriors fought bravely, but the leopard was too fast for them and then they fell to their feet. A woman shouted – “it’s the Chinau!!”. The Chinau is a fierce leader of the leopards, he was given the name Chinau because there was a deadly tribe leader named Chinau. He died while fighting the same leopard that attacked. As he died, he took the body of the leopard and wanted revenge that no one had saved him. As the leopard attacked, Mimi was petrified of the leopard. She was so scared that she unlocked her hidden powers!

The wind blew, the leaves shed, and new ones came out faster than ever. Then, a flash of light came behind Mimi, everything was still very still. The leopard was blinded from the light, quickly Mimi shouted while pointing at the leopard, “kill it! Now is the chance!”. When Mimi pointed at the leopard, three vines from the trees came rushing towards the leopard. Those vines caught the leopard’s neck and tightened it every second like a snare, until it had died.

Mimi had unlocked her hidden power; she could control trees! Everyone gasped in awe and cheered for the brave Mimi, and they all shouted, “long live the great Mimi!”. All of the tribe members had thought she was a god, but she was given a gift by God, to control the nature. She was an acquaintance of a great warrior of king Arthur Javenos they fought bravely side by side, and the most important thing in life is a gift from God himself.
