Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH 

Isabella Chapter 12

Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in the heart of a dense forest, there lived a young boy named Jack. Jack was known throughout the village for his incredible bravery and quick thinking, and he had a natural talent for solving problems and coming up with creative solutions.





From that day on, Jack became a hero in the eyes of the villagers. They marveled at his bravery and ingenuity, and he became known throughout the land as the Dragon Slayer.

And though many years have passed since that fateful day, the story of Jack and the dragon lives on, inspiring generations of young people to be brave, resourceful, and unafraid in the face of danger.

Urdu story 01

nside a dimly lit cave, a group of people sit huddled around glowing amphoras. These vessels are no ordinary pottery; they're meticulously painted with images of legendary wrestlers, engaged in eternal combat. The flickering light from a small fire casts these images onto the walls, animating the wrestlers in a primitive, captivating dance of shadows.



The cave's inhabitants watch these images, interpreting the epic battles as the ultimate expression of wrestling. They debate the techniques, celebrate the victories, and mourn the defeats, all from the moving images on the amphoras. To them, these representations are the entirety of wrestling—there is no world beyond the wrestlers on the pottery.


Nikostratos, ever the curious and skeptical cat, notices a sliver of light peeking through a crack in the cave wall. The murals and their tales don't satisfy his curiosity. One day, driven by a particularly pungent smell of the outside world—a mix of fresh earth and sweat—he finds a loose stone and wiggles his way through the crack.
