The Miraculous Conch

by Luis Fernandes

A very poor man is given a magical conch ? when it is put in a pot and food is cooked with it, the pot supplies an endless quantity of very delicious food. When the conch goes missing, the man and his companions, a dog and a cat, must find it before they starve. A tyrannical king decrees that anyone who wants a favour from him, has to play chess with him. Sitting near by will be the king's cat, with seven lamps balanced on her tail. If she moves and even a drop of oil is spilt, the king will do as his opponent wants. But if the cat remains still, the person will become the king's slave!

Good moral stories

Good moral stories for kids, amar chithra katha is always the best in this. Though i am an ardent follower of ACK, reading this title for the first time

This made me smile.

Reading this picturized all my childhood memories back in front of my eyes. In summer holidays we used to go to take comics on rent. Ahh.. so pleasent feeling. These days we all know how little time one has for themseles. We One must read this book. I must say thanks to Kindle. Cheers !!
