CARLA come in : A story by Priyansh
One day Deepak and Deepu were sitting under an apple tree. An apple fell on Deepu's head. He cried-" O god, what is that?". Deepak burst out laughing. Deepak and Deepu were brothers.Deepak was elder to Deepu by 04 years and was studying in class 9th. Deepu was still very young and was studying in class 5th. Deepu asked Deepak-"why do apples fall down, why don't they fly upwards like birds?" Deepak said-"Our earth has gravitation force with which all things come down." Deepu asked-"What is gravitation force?" Deepak said-"The power which pulls all the things down. But at this time you are very young. As you grow up you will learn on your own." Next day, the school reopened and Deepu was very happy because he was going to study universe subject first time. The teacher first asked everyone how their were spent. After some time, the teacher started-" Today I am going to teach the chapter "Our Solar System". Children, there are nine planets in the solar system. they all take a round around the sun. Our earth is one of them. It is the only planet which has life." The children were listening attentively. Teacher further said-"Mercury is the first planet and Pluto is the last but i would like to tell you that Pluto is not a planet now. Rather, Carla is going to come in the Solar System. But it will take time. Deepu hated this. he thought-" Why it will take time?" Then the bell rang and the period got over.Even when he reached home, he was not convinced. One day his father told him-" You are selected in Junior Astronaut Competition". With other selected children, Deepu was sent to space.There, he heard a voice-"so, you have come." Deepu looked back. He saw a medium sized white shining object. He asked " Who are you?" It said-"Don't you recognize me? I am Carla, your loving Carla. I know you were very sad when you got the information that I will take time to be part of the Solar System. "Yes"-Said Deepu-" I felt that a child will take time to be born". "Well"-Said Deepu-"How much time you will take to be part of the Solar System?" "About two years"- replied Carla. At that moment the spaceship started shaking and Deepu screamed. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother in front of him. He could not understand whether it was a dream or a reality.
