Sand and the magician of Moor

“Nani, tell us a story,” pestered Moni and Natasha.

“Once upon a time Sand was very sad. He didn’t have any friends to play with. The Magician of Moor came and tried to cheer Sand up. He took a casket of clay in his hand and mixed it finely using a dinosaur bone ladle. He dipped the casket in hot volcano lava. The clay melted. The Magican of Moor buried the clay in a blue sky-cloud. Soon the clay turned into water. This water nourished the Earth and many many types of beings were born. They all became Sand’s friends.

Sand noticed one thing about the about the animals that were his friends. The strong tended to eat the weak.

The lion would eat the deer etc,. This filled Sand with grief. He wanted all the animals to be non violent.”

“So, what happened?” asked Moni.

“Sand called the Magician of Moor and explained his problem – he didn’t want the weaker beings to be eaten by the stronger ones.

So, the Magician of Moor created a new spell made of softdust water and lilac flowers, boiled gently. He put this spell on the all the creatures and they all became nonviolent.

From that day, in Sand’s world Lions stopped eating Deer.”
