Reading books is a powerful way to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Reading books allows us to explore new ideas, worlds and emotions. ‘Melange – The Literary Week’ gave the students an opportunity to explore the world of our rich Classics through an array of intriguing activities. On the 25th of April 2023, the students of class VI participated wholeheartedly in an interesting activity designed for them - ‘Tour of the Caves.’ The enthusiastic sixth graders were asked to act as tour guides and conduct a tour to the famous caves where Tom and Huck, from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, found their treasure. Students were seen engaged in preparing colourful maps showing the route to the caves and writing scripts for the tour guide. It was indeed an enriching learning experience for them.

MELANGE' : The Literary Fest
April 23 - 30 April 2021
Theme: Timeless Fables
Dear Students,
Fables are short stories that are designed to convey a moral message to the reader. They are common across folk cultures worldwide and have been used to pass on the values and moral lessons to people. These short tales were once passed down as stories to teach listeners the difference between right and wrong, give advice on proper behaviour and manners, and offer maxims to live by. The moral of a fable is usually stated at the end. Fables talk about virtues and vices and intend them to be learned by readers.
Fables feature anthropomorphized animals and natural elements as main characters, making them extremely engaging for children. Although fables typically employ animals to portray characters, the fact that these stories are passed down over generations in different cultures, highlights the diversity of our world. By experiencing stories from different cultures, children can discover valuable insights about another group's values, beliefs, history, practices and customs.
These stories have been passed down to new generations since time immemorial with Aesop’s fables, Panchatantra Tales, the Hitopadesha, and the Jataka Tales, being the most popular of these short stories. Aesop’s Fables are a collection of stories credited to Aesop, a Greek slave and story-teller thought to have lived between 620 &560 BCE. The Panchatantra, compiled by a learned Brahmin named Vishnu Sharma, is a collection of inter-related animal fables in Sanskrit verse and prose. All these fables found their way to different parts of the world through oral channels and translations. They substantially influenced medieval fabulists. However, while many of the best known fables are indeed ancient in origin, the form still survives today in modern writing. We can see it in works such as George Orwell’s Animal Farm and Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
Relation of Fables to Folktales and Fairy Tales:
Folktales are a kind of stories that get passed on from generation to generation. Fables and Fairytales are a kind of Folktales with a quality of timelessness. They develop as different people tell them over time. Fables are characterized by talking animals while fairy tales are full of fantasy and magical world. There is no hidden meaning in a fable, and it is meant to convey a moral truth. Fables can be in prose or poem, but Fairy tales are always in prose.
Fables are ancient magic, will stay alive centuries from now and continue to inspire and illuminate.
Come, happy children, hold our hand,
Let’s go across this wondrous realm of Fables….
New friends await you….Explore, Read and Enjoy!
