The Lantern of Whispering Trees
by Yahya Asim In a remote village nestled between the emerald folds of two great hills, there stood a forest known as the Whispering Trees. Locals spoke of it with reverence and caution. They said the trees could talk—not with mouths, but with murmurs carried in the wind. Only those who truly listened could understand their secrets.

Ways to Say “I Miss You” Creatively — Ek Dil Chhoone Wali Kahani
Kabhi kabhi lafz “I miss you” itne mamooli lagte hain ke woh dil ki gehraiyon ko bayan nahi kar paate. Yeh jazba sirf doori nahi, balki dil ki ek gehri khwahish, yaad aur chahat hoti hai jo har lafz ke beghair hi samajh aati hai. Meri kahani bhi isi jazbe se shuru hoti hai, jab main apni sabse qareebi dost Sara se door ho gaya.

Animal Farm — Chapter 3 (George Orwell)
With Manor Farm now transformed into Animal Farm, the animals waste no time in putting their new society into practice. They begin working enthusiastically in the fields, more motivated than ever under Mr. Jones. The pigs, thanks to their superior intelligence, take on leadership and planning roles, while the other animals throw themselves into physical labor. Boxer, a huge cart horse, becomes the farm's workhorse in both name and spirit. His personal motto - "I will work harder" - inspires everyone around him. Even the ducks and chickens do their best, picking up stray kernels of corn to ensure that nothing goes to waste. Although harvesting is difficult without human tools and skills, they manage better than expected, with greater success than ever before. There is a sense of pride and ownership in every mouthful of food they produce, which drives them to work harder and cooperate more willingly. The animals, for the first time, feel that their labor is truly for their own benefit, not for some master who steals the fruits of their labor.

Silent Hero
