Fable
Mena-Raju and the Case of the Missing Ilish
Setting: In the quiet riverside village of Shonargram, life is simple. The morning breeze carries the call of the muezzin, fishermen cast nets in the river Padma, and children run barefoot through jute fields. But peace is often short-lived when Mena and Raju, the village’s most curious duo, are around.

Sethan's Wild Run
Sethan, the hunter in the village, got rid of them and started farming. Not just farming. Farming done deep in the jungle. In this farming, the demand is more for the flowers than for the leaves. Many of you will understand what that is. Those who don't understand, ask the Director General of Information, go to Chatham Street.

When the Crow Didn't Give Up
It was a hot summer afternoon in the middle of a long drought. The sun glared down from the sky like a giant ball of fire, and not a single cloud could be seen. Trees stood still with drooping leaves, the rivers had shrunk into trickles, and the animals in the forest were growing tired and thirsty.

Thou Shalt Not Be Rude to Wait Staff
The queue stretches, and stretches, and stretches. Our hero cannot bear to look up at it. He couldn't see the end of it if he did, and not just because the sinking sun would be glinting in his eyes. It stretches down the hillside and winds out of sight.

The Hollow and the Hungry Ghost. Content Warning.
I. The Wrong Door Opened Mirelle's fingers trembled as she lit the thirteenth candle. The church basement reeked of mildew and old incense, the perfect place to cheat death. She'd come to speak to her sister—just once, just long enough to say the words she'd left unsaid the day the fever took her.

Shake It Off and Step Up
Since obstacles are something to shake off, step on. Once upon a time, there was a farmer who had a donkey. It was very old. Once the farmer took out the old donkey. So idiotic, it recently fell into a pond. It groaned for a long time. The farmer attempted to find a way to help it. At last, the farmer saw that the donkey was too old. Plus, the pond needed to be hidden. It was stupid to help the donkey. So the farmer told the villagers to help cover the pond. They all gathered with shovels to dump dirt into the pond. When the mud first landed on the donkey's back, it was surprised, but it soon came to understand its situation. It howled immediately. At one point, everyone looked and was amazed to see that the donkey was silent. When the farmer had thrown a few shovels of soil into the pond, he looked inside the pond and was astounded to discover that when everyone threw soil on the donkey's back, the donkey would shake the soil off its back and step on that soil. The more everybody tried to throw dirt, the better it rose to the challenge.
