2. Once there was a boy
named Nakhul. He had a
wish to go to space on his
own.
He was an extraordinary
child. He never did anything
other than thinking. He was
always thinking and thinking
about how to invent
something that would take
him to space.
3. One day, he said about his
wish to his grandma. She
told him, "if you really
wish to go to space, go
make a plan, follow your
plan and invent a wonder
device. That's all you have
to do."
6. Once Nakhul's grandma
asked him to pick
vegetables from garden
which he did happily.
Suddenly, he thought of a
new invention.
7. Nakhul ran to his room
and quickly made a thing
which looked round like a
wheel with a stick stuck to
it. He believed this will
take him to space. But
how?
8. Nakhul's friends saw his
invention and became
jealous of him. They
pushed him and his
invention in to a pit.
9. Inside the pit, it was too
dark. Nakhul pushed his
sharp wheel this way and
that and suddenly, he saw
that he was on space.
He went around the earth
for more than 1000 times.
10. Nakhul was very happy.
He visited every planet
and every star and made
friends with the moon and
the Pluto aliens.
11. Later, Nakhul returned
back to earth with his
superb invention.
He used that pit to go to
space often, thanks to his
playful invention and
jealous friends.
