New Year Story for Kids

On new year's eve, every kid is overjoyed and one of such kids was little Johnny who was thrilled. It was because he was going to the market with his father on new year's eve to buy various items that he liked. The market was bustling, and all of the businesses were decked up in various colours of light bulbs. 

Kid Receiving Gifts on New Year

As he was travelling and looking around in the market, at that moment, Johnny observed a shop with a large number of caged birds. They were constantly slamming their beaks against the cage in an attempt to escape. Many of them were dripping with blood.

Johnny felt sorry for the birds, he was moved by the plight of the birds. He went over to the store when he could no longer control himself. "Why have you captured these helpless birds?" he inquired.  He thought to himself that it is not right to limit someone's freedom.

"I don't like it," the shopkeeper responded, "but I don't have any other options." I also require funds in order to feed my family."

Listening to this, Johnny thought of an idea to buy the caged birds. Johnny turned to face his father, while he was searching for money in his pocket. "What about all those items you were planning to buy, Johnny?" Johnny’s father inquired. 

For a brief moment, Johnny was perplexed, but he had decided that the birds' liberation was more vital than any celebration. He took his father's hand in his and held it. "Dad," he explained, "I can have a good time with my friends on new year's eve, but these birds will have a greater time in the open sky."

The money was handed over by his father to the shopkeeper. "You can turn these birds free," he told him, "and you can join me at the shop starting tomorrow." I'll persuade the owner to hire you for a respectable position."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed and handed the cage to Johnny, who unbolted the cage door. All of the birds took to the air one by one. Johnny began to clap.
