A warm story about a friend and a pet. We only name the story — every example here is our own — and use it to learn how to read a story: who the characters are, the setting (where and when), and how a story has a beginning, middle and end. Tap each idea to begin.
Play with it
Every story is built from a few parts. Tap each one to see what it does.

Read the clue. “Veer ran fast to give his puppy water on the hot day.” What is Veer like?
He hurries to help his pet, so we can tell Veer is kind and caring. His action showed us.
Where you'll meet it
When you tell what happened at the park, you naturally use a beginning, middle and end. Keeping events in order makes your story easy to follow.
Asking “Who? Where? What happens?” as you read helps you understand any storybook, not just this one.
Stories about a pet remind us to be gentle and kind. Looking after a friend or animal is a lovely real-life lesson.
Check yourself
Eight quick questions that check the skill — finding characters, the setting, feelings and the parts of a story — not just remembering the story.
Skill practice with our own original examples. The story “Badal and Moti” (NCERT Santoor, Class 3) is referenced by name only, never reproduced.
