Hook: A Story to Start
Once upon a time in a small Indian village, little Meena wanted to tell her grandmother in Delhi about the beautiful mangoes in her garden. But Meena's grandmother lived far away! So, Meena decided to write a letter. She picked her favourite pink pen and wrote, "Dear Grandma, the mangoes here are sweet and juicy! I miss you."
Meena's letter made Grandma very happy when she read it. And guess what? You too can make someone smile by writing a letter!
