Magic

Kids are always fascinated by magic and for them everything is magic. Show them the blooming flower or crawling leech everything is magic.

Recently Colgate has come with this unique idea to put in magical pictures inside the toothpaste box. It's a nice touch to nudge the kids into creative mode and also pull them out of their tab and smartphone mode. As a part if their promo activity here I’m blogging my #ColgateMagicalstories at BlogAdda in association with Colgate. Below is the story which my younger one came up with. (There were 'base' for each of the pics but he couldn't make it stand with that, so the collage)


"We received 3 boxes of Colgate and it had my favorite pictures of space travel. I am a big fan of astronaut and space missions. Me and my sister was selected by ISRO to be part of the new mission 'Explore Plant X'. We were very excited. We practiced how to do space travel and space walk. On the D-day our take off from Sriharikota was perfect and we reached our designated space station. After going thru the formalities in our space station, we proceeded to Planet X. From our initial research we knew X is a terrestrial planet and it gravity is similar to earth. It had 2 moons, Moon X and Moon Y. Because of our sound initial research and planning we had a perfect landing.
          As a precaution we sent our exploration rover to get the initial information about the surroundings and terrain. After a positive assessment from the rover, me and sister started out in our manned rover. We tested out the soil and were looking out for signs of alien life.
          Suddenly we noticed an angry looking meteor fly by. It had a unusual sparkling tail and was more like an angry firecracker than meteor. While we were keenly watching the meteor we didn't see an UFO that was coming behind it till it was about to land. We both were stunned to see this unusual flying object that we forgot to run and hide. Once it landed we saw a strange looking creature get out if it. It had huge eyes and looked more or less like a huge frog. We were giggling seeing it. Then we heard some screechy scratchy sound coming from the alien.
         Good thing was that ISRO had given us an alien translator which was convert all alien languages. As we turned it on, we came to know that the creature was actually asking us to fight.  We tried talking back to it explaining our purpose there is to make contact and not war. But unfortunately that creature didn't had our translator technology so couldn't understand a single word we spoke and also we didnt had the tech to translate our language into alien language so as to make it understand what we were saying. It took out its weapon and started aiming on us. But I was quick and I disarmed the creature with a single beam and captured it. In the end we took the alien back to earth with us till we build the translator which will let us talks it language."
