D. S. Senanayke built the Senanayake Tank and he also renovated many ancient tanks and provided facilities to the people for agricultural purposes. He became the first Prime Minister of Independent Sri Lanka.
Mr. D. S. Senanayake was a great warrior who fought for the independence of our country. He left this world in 1952. To respect him people call him the ‘Father of the Nation’.

A terrible night
One night, while I was lying in my bed, I saw something running everywhere on the ground. I was very scared and I closed my face with my pillow. I didn’t want to see what it was. I started to close my eyes and tried to go to sleep. But I couldn’t. I was scared and my toes were shaking. I thought of going to see what it was otherwise I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.
So I took my pink torch and switched it on and held it to the ground. There was nothing at all.
Suddenly I heard a sound from the kitchen and I went to see what it was. I got off the bed and walked slowly towards the kitchen.
I saw a mouse running all
over the kitchen, knocking
things about. At that moment,
I remembered that all the terrible sounds that I had heard were made by this little mouse! I will never forget this incident in my life.

Independence Day
Independence Day is a Freedom day
In what way
Can we lose our freedom?
Freedom is better than a kingdom!
Independence Day can be celebrated
From elders to the young
Songs even may be sung
So freedom is better than a kingdom!
Pigeons are also released
Many of them fly in a series
Which makes a beautiful sight
So freedom is better than a kingdom!
The National Song is sung
From elders to the young
Stand in a million rows
So freedom is better than a kingdom!
While Independence Day is as exciting
as freedom!

A crazy dream
Dreams are the subconscious state of the mind. Dreams are of many kinds.
On most days I will myself to dream.
I vaguely remember them when I wake up. But when I do they are bits and pieces of comic books, movies I read and watch. Each time I dream I am fighting to emerge as the super star.
As mentioned earlier, I dream on most of the days. One dream however, frightened me greatly. I was on my way home after my classes. I was walking in front of a graveyard, thinking about my lessons. All of a sudden, I heard a voice screaming behind me.
Goose bumps covered my body. I looked behind. A young lady was grinning at me. She had red big lips, long hair and was wearing a white ball gown. I wanted to scream but there was a lump stuck in my throat. I didn’t dare to move.
The figure started to move towards me. My limbs were frozen. She was inches away from me. She tried to grasp my neck and I made a quick escape.
I was screaming with all my might.
Right then I woke up from my wild dream and was still in my cosy bedroom.

I am a pencil
I am red and black in colour. They named me Nataraj. I was taken to a shop. One day a boy came and bought me. He took me home. Then he took me to school and showed me to his friends. He used me on his notebooks. He also sharpened me a lot so I became smaller. My owner threw me into the dustbin. That was the end of my life.

The importance of teachers
We meet lots of teachers in our school life. They teach us various things. Most teachers are kind. Some are quite strict. They assist us in our studies. They teach us various subjects. They teach us good manners and guide us to lead good lives.
We must help our teachers whenever we can. We must love and respect them. I love all the teachers.

Moon
Moon is a bright oval
It gives us light every night
And I feel very happy when I see it
I think there is a rabbit inside the moon.
And I every day ask the rabbit
What is Moon Uncle telling?
And it never tells anything
And whenever I sleep I tell
Bye! Bye! To Moon Uncle.
And it smiles at me
But it never tells me Bye! Bye!
And I feel so sad.
