There was a kid, named Shane. One day came a new teacher to the class. She is very beautiful. Like a fairy. “Good morning my dear children” Teacher said kindly. Shane went to the table. “Teacher, my mother and father are not with me” “Why? “Did any accident happened to them?” “No teacher” Teacher understood, that there was a long story inside his innocent eyes. “OK my son, let’s speak later, now go and sit”

. ”teacher taught nicely and she is so kind” while teaching, everyone thought so. At interval, a boy came to meet the teacher. ”Teacher I’m in Shane’s class” “Yes dear” “Teacher don’t take notice of Shane. Any new teacher who comes to the class, he used to tell his story. Shane is a naughty boy. He always use wrong words and hit everyone. Also he doesn’t greet any teacher.” The boy non-stop narrated.

Next day teacher came to Shane’s class. When started the interval, all the children ran to the playground. But Shane dragged slowly to the teachers table. “Don’t you play” “no teacher”, “do you know what happened to my parents?” “No, but I’d like to hear it”

“Teacher, my mother is very beautiful, as you. A few years ago, we were living happily. In course of mother and father started to fight. Sometimes, father used to beat mother. One day he beat to mother and left home. Before leaving he said: “don’t stay here, you should go away””

“Mother hugged me and said: “my loving son, I have to go now. I don’t have any place to take you along. You stay here with dad. I’ll come back soon.” She cried more and left home. But has not yet come to see me. In the evening, father came with an aunty. “This is your new mother, greet her.” The step mother is a furious women.  After she came, I had to do every household work. She used to scold and hit me, when I did any small mistake. My father is also afraid of her. One day father went away, to find a new job.”

“The step mother did cruel things. She didn’t give any good food to eat. One fine day, a man came. He seem to a magician. The step mother bought a carpet from him. She said: “This is a magic carpet, keep it inside the home.” The carpet was so heavy. So, it dropped from my hands. At that time she beat me.  Then my head was injured. After that, the magician consoled me and gave a bucket full of bananas. I was angry with them and threw out to the monkeys. Monkeys ate all with fighting. “

“Teacher, my father is responsible for all this wrong. If I meet him, I’ll kill him. Really I hate him.”…… “Teacher are you listening to me?” “Yes dear, do you think that, I am like your mother?” ….“Indeed! I feel my mother’s aroma by you”

Teacher looked at him with eyes full of tears. She felt that something stuck hers throat.  She touched his head lovingly. “My dear son, I know you are very innocent and clever.”  “Yes teacher, I can study well. But nobody help me. They says I’m a very bad boy, I have only one friend, and friend of mine is curious and greedy.  He stay with me, because he can steal food from others.  But, no one clever than me at English.” Teacher understood that Shane is going on a wrong path.” My son, I’ll give you a chance, you are the monitor in this class from today. Then you will be able to do every responsibilities with decently and patiently. You should greet every teacher. Especially you should do your studies well. If you need something tell me, without hesitating. Also, every day I’ll bring some food for you. I need to see you be a very clever gentlemen in future. Don’t worry, I love you so much my son.” Shane felt unlimited trust and love, about teacher.

From next day, Shane came to school very happily. He did every responsibilities  successfully. After few weeks, he could win every hearts and be a brighter student in his class. Finally he was able to win the 01^st place in grade 5 scholarship exam, in that province. And his school became a splendid school.

Media reported, Shane’s victory, by words himself. “A few Months ago, I was a bad boy. One day I met a fairy. She had a compassionate heart. She changed my life.  Everyone neglected me. But the fairy wants to save me. She gave me a boon. It was a best chance for me to be a good child and good leader. At that time I hate my father. But the fairy killed the demon in my heart. Now I have only one dream. I want to live again with my mother and father. Shane told crying. Not only Shane, who had heard that speech, everyone cried.

Next day, Shane’s parents got that message. And they came to school to see their loving son. That meeting was a very emotion moment. Every eyes had filled with tears.  “Teacher, you are great. You gave a new life to us. No words to say thank you. You are a real fairy.”

Shane was happy to reach the home…sweet home, with parents. When they reach to home, the step mother had left.
