1-The serpent of sharp tail
Short story for children
Written by
Mohammad Ahmad
One day at the childhood period, we went away out of our village to play between the tombs inside a big cemetery that overlooks on an awful cave containing many serpents, monkeys, and many different types of rodents, moreover sometimes and especially in sever winter's days, the wolves come there to find the suitable refuge to hide themselves.
Of course, it is a hard time and threatened occasion, but we are obliged to waste our time in this manner of difficult trip because we had not bicycles or motors or even small leather ball to play. Sometimes we made small ball of cartons or from the excess papers after we had finished our manuscript work.
Curse, curse to the poverty…
Damn, damn to the governments that did not offer silly and trifle things to the rural schools in that days.
We had followed the sinuous way of sever slanting rocky sides one after the other, keeping one of our fellows standing on the tip of the cave in order to guard the place if something happens or someone comes.
Bizarrely and grotesquely, we heard a noise comes from the adjacent opened gaps inside the valley; the sound comes as if the crying of small child.
We are afraid, try to escape, but the largest boy keeping us in equanimity, and order us to fellow the voice origin expecting that it maybe a child fallen down at those cracks.
We consider on his idea and provoke ourselves to precede the way, but a sudden fallen down rock threatens us when it comes over our digging tools and smashes it.
As a consequent we felt disappointed further than any bygone time, but we encourage ourselves again toward the strange voice.
It is snake; it is snake, one of our fellows shouted
A big yellowish and white serpent was sleeping there inside the deep gap.
It is too dark, but fortunately, one of our fellows had brought a match containing three or four matchsticks.
At once, we collected small parts of boughs and dried trees' leaves to set on a fire.
Because of the smoke, the serpent suddenly moves and goes away out of its hole and firstly tries to attack us, but very soon one of fellows is ready and hits it strongly on its head and the serpent soon is died.
We measured its length by our feet and we find that it is about two meters long and it has thick abdominal parts, furthermore it has sharp tail likes the scythe never has been seen before, or it has been familiar by our fathers whom they were toiling in the tillage all of their life.

Mack is a talented boy from Pennsylvania loves his parents and at each Christmas, their parents would buy to him a new present because of his succeeding every year.
One day he has gone to the factory of his father seeing that some of different types of the mechanical parts working together to complete the needed manufactured tools.
He watched the machines carefully and closely finding that some of the parts can be developed and as a result the machine should be more protected and could have better productivity.
He picked up his pencil and drew some of measured lines using his geometric tools. In evening, he found the solution and he informed his father about the plan he has made.
His father astonished from his talented son and agreeing him to buy the parts that his son needs.
Mack starts happily and joyfully, but he is still young to weld the new parts or to tie the strong screws, so his father sends many assistant workers to help him.
Mack sits on his chair and orders the workers to do what he wants.
A week after the work is about to be finishing and the new machine now is about to be ready.
His father calls the famous and the experienced engineers in the town to visit his factory in order to notice and evaluate the new machine.
The engineers were astonishing and they were desirous to ask about whom he made the machine.
The father puts of some of tobacco on his pipe and in a rejoicing manner, he tells them that the small engineer is his son.
A month after the new machine is ready to work and the result is truthful and wonderful.
Hi! To the small engineer
I think you are great my dear son.
Now I am delighted about what you had done.
The father was in the full gratification, began to shake his shoulders in rejoicing, and praised on the workers who helped his son.
The new machine has been displayed at a big fair of machines and its price soon reaches million of dollars, it is a wonderful machine, it is the big machine of a familiar ship called "Sanyita."
