Ambika

There was a once a boy named Akaash who was curious about everything he saw. He questioned authority and rules. He ate with his left hand, walked backwards. And did everything he was asked not to.
Once, he was at the park and saw a monkey playing. The monkey did everything it was asked not to and it seemed to be having more fun. Like on the swing, instead of sitting, it stood. On the slide, instead of sliding down, it walked up. As soon as the monkey left the park, Akaash did everything the monkey had done. He stood on the swing and climbed up the slide. What fun he had. And slowly children, seeing him having so much fun, did exactly what he did. Since then, children all over the world prefer climbing up the slide.
