Run, it's Butterfingers Again!
Author: Khyrunnisa A. 
Publisher: Puffin

Run, Its Butterfingers Again! is about a boy named Amar Kishen, called Butterfingers by his friends because he is always dropping things. However, many a times, his clumsiness brings him good fortune. The funniest story is “Trouble with a Beard” wherein, Amar wants to grow a beard like his father. It starts with him trying to grow a beard and rejoicing when he mistakes a pen mark and mud on his face for initial signs of a beard. To his delight, he gets a false beard from his cousin. He muddling up the word “Mercutio” with “Mercury” is also innocently-funny. The house maid’s reaction on seeing him brandishing a knife, dressed up as a pirate, is comical and I could imagine myself in his place. The best part is when Amar tries to pull off the beard of a man who, he thinks has stolen his false beard, but the man is in fact a thief who was trying to get an impression of the store’s key for robbing it. I was in splits, during this scene. To overcome his sorrow of losing his beard, the shop owner gifts him a false moustache, much to the distress of his father.

Ninja Nani and the Bungling Burglars 
Author: Lavanya Karthik
Publisher: Duckbill

Once Nani told Deepu that cartoons are bad for your eyes and that they will rot your bones and ruin your teeth so that’s why we should watch the dal-makhani show. (hahahaha. How can cartoon rot teeth!!)
Actually, both Nani and Deepu wanted to watch their show. They both started to fight and tried to snatch the remote from each other. Both the shows started switching back and forth every second. (Imagine!!)
Soon Deepu toppled off the sofa and fell on his bums. He got up but again went flying and landed up-side-down on an overgrown cactus. (Ouch)
After he unhooked himself he saw that the whole room was a mess like always, but most of all nani has became ninja dragon morimori!! (WHATTTTTTTTTTT?????????? )

My family along with my relatives had gone to Lonavla or an annual family outing. It was a small bungalow and there were many of us. My four cousins and I had got a whole room to us; it was like a girl’s night out. After dinner we four cousins went to our room and I heard a weird noise in our bathroom. The noise sounded like burglars who had just crashed in our bathroom. My sister had suggested that, and I got really scared. One of my cousins heard it too, she was really a scaredy cat like me and we rushed to tell our parents. Our parents immediately grabbed pillows, phones and maybe a stick. Soon everyone was in our room from the elders to the one year old kid. Everyone were at their toes with some kind of weapon each of them thought that it were safe. My father opened the door of the bathroom and a cat screeched and ran over. I screamed, my sister screamed and then all the kids who were in their pyjamas. After that all of us went in the living room and had a hearty laugh over it.

I am good at the art of imitating others. One of my favourite funny incidents is when I was caught imitating my grandpa. My grandpa has a very loud and strict voice tone. One day as he was talking on phone, I started imitating him in front of the mirror in the other room. I had no idea that I am being watched by my grandma. She secretly called grandpa and showed him how I was imitating him. Suddenly I realized that I am being watched. We all began to laugh. Then my grandpa hugged me and said, "Well Done my Guddu!". Guddu is my nickname.
