Once upon a time in the bustling Indian town of Jollynagar, there lived a wise old teacher named Mrs. Patel. She had a magical way of making even the dullest lessons sparkle with excitement. One sunny morning in her kindergarten class, she decided to embark on a hilarious adventure with the “12 Powerful Words.”
Mrs. Patel, with a twinkle in her eye, introduced the word “COMPARE” to her giggling students. She said, “Kids, today we’ll compare things, but in a funny way!”
The students sat on their tiny chairs, eager to see what magic lay ahead.
“Now, my little geniuses,” Mrs. Patel continued, “Let’s compare our class pet, Goldy the goldfish, with our snack-time buddy, Samosa the mischievous squirrel.”
The kids erupted in laughter. They couldn’t believe they were going to compare a fish to a squirrel!
“Okay, everyone,” Mrs. Patel said, “Let’s start with Goldy. Goldy is very quiet. In fact, Goldy is so quiet that if Goldy were a student, Goldy would never get in trouble for talking in class!”
The kids burst into laughter, imagining Goldy wearing a tiny backpack and sitting quietly at a desk.
“Now,” said Mrs. Patel, “let’s compare Goldy to Samosa. Samosa is full of energy. If Samosa were a student, Samosa would be the class clown, always making everyone laugh with Samosa’s acrobatic antics.”

The children couldn’t contain their giggles as they pictured Samosa doing somersaults and dancing on the snack table.
Mrs. Patel continued, “Now, let’s compare Goldy’s eating habits to Samosa’s. Goldy eats fish flakes, just like a proper fish should.”
The kids nodded solemnly, trying to be as serious as possible.
“But,” Mrs. Patel added, “Samosa, on the other hand, loves munching on spicy samosas. Yes, our dear Samosa has quite the adventurous palate!”
The room erupted in laughter once more, with visions of a squirrel devouring spicy snacks.
As the day went on, Mrs. Patel and her young scholars continued to compare all sorts of things, from the colors of crayons to the shapes of clouds in the sky. They laughed and learned, and by the end of the day, the “12 Powerful Words” had become their playmates.
And so, in the town of Jollynagar, thanks to Mrs. Patel’s whimsical approach to teaching, the children not only learned important words like “COMPARE” but also discovered that learning could be a joyful journey filled with laughter and delightful comparisons.

This is such a cute little story. Have you ever thought about writing a children’s book?
Such a lovely, happy story. I’ll read this to the family when everyone gets home today.
I love these cute children’s stories and the message they get across. Learning should be fun!
This story is a cute way to teach young children a new word. I can hear the laughter as I read it.
What a fun activity and lesson. This reminds me of adlibs.
Learning needs to be a joyful journey! And I see that comparisons can be a lot of fun!
What a delightful and imaginative way to teach! Mrs. Patel’s creative approach to introducing the “12 Powerful Words” not only makes learning fun but also leaves a lasting impression on her young students.
Loving this fun little story and it is perfect for the little ones. I love the magical way the story reads and definitely want to read more!
Sounds like a great way to teach the kids. I love that they not only learned a few things, but they had fun in doing so.
This is such an educational yet entertaining post! I love the cute name of squirrel, SAMOSA . My sister is a kindergarten teacher, and she follows the same fun teaching method in her classes, too. Teaching and learning, both should be fun! I’ll surely share this lovely post with her ❤️.
Great post, this was well written and I love that you had it take place in a classroom. Thanks for sharing this.
This is such a beautiful read! I am also imagining Samosa doing somersaults on the table….now I am craving for it too 😉 I am sharing this to my daughter too…
That’s such a sweet story. I like how it incorporates learning with some humor too. Teaching kids is a big responsibility and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Learning should never be boring. Having fun while learning is the best.
What an adorable story! This is such a lovely way to teach new vocabulary as well, telling the children the word ‘compare’ and then using real life examples so they make the connections themselves!
I absolutely loved reading this charming story about Mrs. Patel and her kindergarten class in Jollynagar. How she brought the “12 Powerful Words” to life in such a playful and imaginative way is truly inspiring. It’s amazing how she captured the attention of her young students and made them laugh while teaching them essential concepts like comparison. This story is a testament to the fact that learning can be fun and engaging, and I can only imagine the impact Mrs Patel had on her students beyond this memorable day in class. No wonder they became so fond of the “12 Powerful Words” – they were introduced delightfully and memorably!
our simple yet powerful words added depth to your writing. Thanks for the inspiring read,

It’s such a great story, I really enjoyed reading it and I look forward to reading more
Your insights into these simple yet profound comparisons were thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing!
Hihi….squirrels are always so mischievous but cute, though! I love seeing them run across roads and pathways before anyone can get a glance of them. I’d have loved this lesson, if I was in it.
What a heartwarming and imaginative approach to teaching! Mrs. Patel’s creativity brings joy to learning.
I LOVE IT!!! Learning can and must be a fun experience! Mrs. Patel comparison is awesome, I love it.
This was a cute exercise for kids! I enjoyed the story as well, and I can see how just the right story is engaging.
This sounds like a cute story. I’ll check it out again. I remember having some dull and boring teachers it sure made learning a lot harder. But with a fun, exciting teacher it made learning fun and so much easier.
I am a fan of your stories..the way you bring about different ideas is impeccable. You should compile these stories into a book soon. Regarding this one, I am going to teach Compare to my younger one through this story
Don’t worry I’ll ask you to review it…
I couldn’t stop smiling while reading about Mrs. Patel’s lively classroom adventures. I am just waiting for my daughter to come back from school to read this. Loved Mrs. Patel’s creative comparisons between Goldy the goldfish and Samosa the mischievous squirrel sounds like pure fun! What a delightful way to teach kids about comparing things. Mrs. Patel’s teaching style proves that learning can be an exciting journey filled with laughter and imagination. Thanks for sharing this heartwarming story!
Moni Dear how are you so talented my friend I just cant believe it how can one even imagine crafting a story surrounding such simple word called COMPARE. Seriously you are stupendously, fantabulously, fantastic and offers something new every time I visit your page. Starting from plot to characterization, from story premise to climax … everything done and executed with perfection. Creative sense is very important to make even a simple story interesting and entertaining for the readers and you know how to do that. I am really proud of you. Next time when I will go for a samosa I will remember your story for sure. Keep inking more entertaining and powerful stories. God bless you
Great story which I think is not for children to read but adults as well not because we don’t know much about this but for us to be reminded about it. Sometimes, knowledge isn’t enough but realising its use and putting it into good use in our life that’s what we needed.
That is a good way to teach children. It is a lovely read and makes even the samosa an interesting dish. I actually don’t like samosa but your story had me laughing as well.
Moni, you should write for children books. Such a cute story and very well picked emotions of little children in classroom.. Genuinely you played creatively with word Compare..
Nice way to engage kids that generally have short attention span using technique of Mrs. Patel. I wish there were many such teachers in all schools.
Nice use of the prompt.
The best way to teach young children is to teach like Mrs. Patel. Fun and engaging stories are always remembered.
Aiyo! This was so cute. It made me wish to be a part of Mrs. Patel’s class.
I love the message that learning can be a joyful journey filled with laughter and delightful comparisons. It highlights the importance of making education not just informative but also enjoyable, which is a valuable lesson for educators and parents alike.
A lesson taught in such a beautiful way, can not only make the lesson easy but also make the students remain focus. Cute story.
Another interesting take on the prompt, Monidipa. This was such a cute story. Your nano tales are always a treat to read. You should definitely consider compiling them.
I hadnt seen that coming Moni… sooooo coooooI! I mean the way you’ve used the word Compare in your little story… very creative and authentic.
I love reading your nano tales Beta. They are simple stories but they always carry a strong message. This story is something kids will enjoy too.
Thanks aunty.
Such a creative and thought-provoking post! Mrs. Patel’s playful comparisons using 12 powerful words are not only entertaining but also enlightening. It’s a delightful way to expand our vocabulary and see the world from different perspectives. Kudos to the author for this unique and engaging lesson! #WordsMatter #CreativeWriting #VocabularyBoost
A very simple story. I enjoyed reading it a lot.
I really admire your nano tales. I wonder how you come up with such amazing topics. Each one is different and a great read.
Such a beautiful and a lovely story to read. You must write kids books. Love the way you narrate and its so pleasant which definitely kids will love it.
That’s such an adorable story! Compare is such a heavy word. Your story gave me food for thought
What a lovely way to teach kids about words. ‘Compare’ is the word children should be aware of from early in their lives.
Appreciable…after reading this I felt worth it….

This is such a great short story and one that teaches us all something. If we make learning, interesting and fun and can create something amusing one can associate it with it can really help reinforce the information in the mind.
We cannot stress the importance of a good teacher enough. And your lovely story does exactly that.
