The Magic Pot

Once upon a time a farmer, Gopi, lived in a village. He had few acres of land. One hot afternoon, the poor farmer was digging his field. All of a sudden, his spade hit something. Then he continued his digging. “It is a big metal pot," said Gopi. It was big enough to boil rice for more than hundred people. “It does not seem to be of any use to me. I will dig deeper. May be I will find something else," thought Gopi. He continued to dig.

After he had dug for a long time, Gopi felt tired. “It is of no use. There is nothing in this field" he thought. Then at once, he threw the spade into the pot in frustration and sat under a tree to take rest for a while.

After a while, when he got up to leave, he could not believe his eyes. There were one hundred spades in the pot. “This is a magical pot. I will put this mango inside the pot and see what happens," Gopi thought. Then Gopi put a mango into the pot. To his astonishment, he found one hundred mangoes in the pot. Gopi carried the pot to his home and kept in a secret place so that no one would become aware of it.

After that, he put many things in that and everything became hundred folds. With that pot, he became a rich man. The King came to know of the pot and its whereabouts. The King was curious to know about it and he was a greedy King. “I want to find out the secret of the magical pot. If it is valuable, it should be in the King treasury," the King thought. Then at once, the King ordered his men to bring the farmer and his pot.

When the magic pot was brought to the King’s chamber, he did not know what to do. The King thought, “Let me see what is there inside this pot which makes this pot so magical?" He peered inside. Inadvertently, he slipped and fell inside the pot. When he climbed out of the magic pot, he was shocked to find that there were one hundred Kings.

All the kings then started to climb the throne. They fought among themselves and died. The magic pot lay in the King’s treasury. “The foolish King took away the magic pot from me out of curiosity and eventually he died. This magic pot has killed the King himself," said the farmer and he to be safe left the magic pot at the treasury of the King itself.

My Holiday

 The last school break, I didn't have any plan for it. So, I just stayed at home to spend my holiday. It was really boring because I didn't have anything to do. I started the day by waking up at about 8 o'clock. Then I took a shower to freshen up my body. After that, I watched a movie on phone. When it's already 11 o'clock i had lunch. Sometimes I help my parents cleaning the house. Then, I took a nap.
  
 When I woke up, I played my phone again and watched movies or tv series until i felt really bored. At 7 o'clock i had dinner with my parents and my sister. Then I watched my favorite shows on Youtube all night long. I kept awake till late night during my holiday and went to bed at 12 pm. My daily activities were like that during the holiday. Although, it was a boring holiday, but at least i could refresh my mind from school.

 In 1990 that J.K.Rowling first conceived of the idea about Harry Potter. She began work on writing the book after arriving at her flat. On December of 1990  J.K.Rowling lost her mother, who died of Multiple Sclerosis. She felt the loss deeply because she was really close to her mother.
