Children's Day: The Day the Grown-Ups Became Kids!

It was a bright November morning in Rainbow Town, and every child was bubbling with excitement—because it was Children’s Day! Schools were closed, parks were decorated with balloons, and the air smelled of sweets and laughter.

But this year, something magical happened.

When the clock struck nine, a soft golden cloud drifted over the town and sprinkled shiny dust everywhere. The moment it touched the grown-ups—teachers, parents, even the strict traffic police—they all turned into children!

Principal Sharma, now a ten-year-old in an oversized coat, ran through the school halls shouting, “No classes today! Let’s play!” The math teacher, who usually scolded everyone for noise, began drawing smiley faces on the blackboard. The grocer danced around his shop, tossing candies instead of giving change!

The real children couldn’t believe their eyes. For once, the adults were playing hide-and-seek, racing bicycles, and splashing water in the pond. It was as if the whole world had pressed pause on rules and homework.

Soon, the kids realized something important. Without the adults doing their jobs, things were getting a little messy. The bus stopped halfway, the bakery burned the bread, and no one knew how to cook lunch properly!

So, the children gathered everyone in the park. Together, they decided to help each other—some cooked, some cleaned, and some told stories to keep everyone happy. That evening, the golden cloud returned and turned the grown-ups back to normal.

But this time, something had changed in their hearts. The adults had remembered how wonderful it felt to be carefree and joyful. They promised to never forget their inner child again.

From that day on, Rainbow Town celebrated Children’s Day not just for kids—but for the child that lives inside everyone. 🌈

Moral: Growing up is important, but never forget the joy of being a child!
