Chu Chu Chidiya fights back
Little Chu Chu Chidiya, was now
three and a half months old, and
had already won the Junior Flying
Championship. This Flying
Championship did make her a Star
in no time, but at her own peril.
Some humming birds had become
her friends, and others arch
enemies. The arch enemies were
predictable, it was the two-faced
friends that Chu Chu’s mother
wanted to protect her from.
Even though Chu Chu had a
championship in her kitty, she was
fairly innocent and easy to fool. Her mother wanted to make Chu Chu strong, but wanted her to
learn herself. So in the morning, when Chu Chu went flying with the migratory birds living near the
pond, Chu Chu’s mother and her siblings plotted a plan. She arranged a party near the pond with her
best friend, the Siberian Crane who visited her every year.
When Chu Chu returned, she was surprised to find all her friends lined up near the pond, to welcome
her and celebrate her flying championship victory.
After having some grains and crackers, the birdies decided to play in the pond. Chu Chu was scared
of water so she got a little float which her crane friends had made for her, and sat on it. Chu Chu’s
mother was alert, as she knew that some birds would want to harm her precious little one, but she
watched from the shore. Mother’s instinct you see. But she wanted Chu Chu to learn how to fight
such birdies. Soon, some sly humming birds hatched a plan of busting the float and toppling Chu Chu
down.

Science is Fun!
Try this simple experiment at home and you will be truly amazed.
What happened in the experiment? Why did the milk start moving away from the ear bud? Well, when we
dipped the ear bud in the milk, the detergent quickly left the bud and tried to mix with the fat and protein
molecules in the milk; while it did this, this attaching and detaching caused the surface tension (the reason
why milk forms a skin on top when it is left outside for too long) of the milk to reduce, causing the milk to
move.
