Kids Spot

Dear Children,

Asalam un alaikum.

Welcome to the first Children Page of the Federation Samachar. We have introduced this page to provide a forum for our young boys and girls to air their thoughts.

Do you have thoughts which you wish to share with other members of the community, do you have ideas for the betterment of our community, do you have a favourite dua which helps you in a time of difficulty or do you have a puzzle, poem or story for this page?

If so, send us your inputs (stories should be short and preferably with a moral message) and we promise to carry them in our next issue. We have started with one page but if you children feel that you ought to be given more space, then all you need to do is to keep sending us your articles and we may then consider to give you an additional page or two.

In this issue we have one puzzle (The Jingler) and two questions for you to answer. Solve the puzzle and send us your answers to the questions and we have a prize of TShs. 10,000/- for the best two answers. Send in your entries on the form below and address it to:

Husein: What do you call a monkey who has bananas in both his ears?

Riyaz: Anything! Because he can’t hear you.

 

Miqdad came rushing to his dad and asked him if it is true that an apple keeps the doctor away?

"That’s what they say" said his dad.

Miqdad then told his father, "In that case can I have an apple because I have broken the doctor’s window".

 

Parents drive kids crazy too.

When kids run around the house and make noise their parents say "sit down and be quite"

When the kids finally sit down and be quite the parents then say to them: "What’s the matter don’t you feel well?"

 

Kumail: "My father can beat your father".

Hasnain: "Big deal. Even my mother can beat my father".

Look before you leap

One day a fox fell into a well and wondered how he could get out. At last a goat came along and feeling thirsty he asked the fox if the water was good.

The fox saw his chance and pretending that he was swimming, replied, "Yes come down my friend, the water is so nice that I cannot drink enough of it and there is plenty of it for both of us."

So the goat jumped in and the sly fox, making use of the goat's horns, quickly sprang out.

When he was safely out, he coolly remarked to the poor goat, "Had you half as much brains as the length of your beard, you would have looked before you leaped."
