“Learning gives creativity, creativity leads to thinking, thinking provides knowledge, and
knowledge makes you great.“
At Delhi Public School-Bopal, we pride ourselves on being more than just a school. We are a
community of children, young as well as experienced people, educators and families who all
play special and unique roles in making DPS the amazing place that it is.
The purpose of education is not just to produce academicians but also to develop humane
and sensitive citizens. A congenial environment for learning is the need of the hour while
making sure that children have enough opportunities to develop sound work, social habits
and interpersonal skills. Academic excellence with character and personality development is
our ultimate goal.
The well chalked out academic and co-curricular programme enables the students to attain
their full potential to develop sound work habits. We give our students wings of ambition, so
that they can soar like falcons to touch the skies and endeavor to make them global citizens
who can look beyond geographical boundaries and promote a culture of peace and universal
brotherhood.
May we continue to give our students strong roots like the Banyan Tree and stronger wings
to conquer the world!!

“Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardour and attended to with
diligence” – Abigail Adams
At this unique institution, we hone the academic skills, fine-tune the aesthetic senses and work
towards building a holistic culture that values the individuality of each pupil, helping them

excellence, the global and the local, and between respecting tradition and embracing change.
Our endeavour is to strike a balance between state-of-the-art infrastructure and an
internationally acceptable education.

MY GOD
A GOOD FRIEND
Once upon a time, there was a jungle and there lived a lion. One morning, lion heard a cry
“HELP ME!” The lion saw a king surrounded by wolves. Lion roared and the wolves ran
away. The king thanked the lion and said “I am your friend from now, come to my Castle
any time my friend”.
In the summer season, the lion worked very hard for his food but didn’t have much. He
had thought to go to the king’s castle for help.
When he went to King’s castle, people got scared of him, but the king came out from his
castle and said “let him in, he is my friend”.
The King and lion enjoyed the food together. The lion thanked the king for the help and
went back to the jungle.

FLUFFY BEFRIENDED
Once upon a time there lived a bunny called Fluffy. He lived in the forest, but he was
mean to other rabbits and animals. Fluffy made fun of other animals who could not hop
like him or be as fast as him. Because of Fluffy’s mean and arrogant behaviour, he did not
have any friend. He was not even invited to the parties in the jungle.
One day Fluffy was hopping around in the forest, after a while he felt thirsty, he went to
the nearby river to take a sip of water, but the mud around the banks of the river was very
slippery.
As he was trying to take the sip his leg slipped in the mud and he fell in to the river.
He started screaming Help! Help!
All the animals from the jungle heard Fluffy screaming, though he was mean to them, but
seeing him in danger they all went to the riverside to help him.
Near the bank of the river they saw Fluffy struggling to swim, the elephant helped the
other animals by pulling out a bamboo stick from a bamboo bush near the river bank. As
all the animals held one end of the bamboo stick from the river shore, they pointed the
other side towards Fluffy.
Fluffy then held the other side of the stick and came to the riverside, hopping with joy.
He thanked all the animals and said sorry for his behaviour until now.
From then onwards fluffy was very kind and sweet to every animal. He helped all the
animals however possible.
Lesson: Be kind to others, if you wish others to be kind to you. (Everyone is not as lucky
as Fluffy)

STORY-AN ELEPHANT KING
Once upon a time, a lion who was the king of the forest. He wanted to go for a trip with his
family. He was in search of a new king for the time when he will be on a trip.
He made an elephant the king. The new elephant King, started troubling everyone. He
ordered the monkey to build a castle for him. The monkey was very upset, but he built the
castle. The elephant saw the castle but he couldn’t enter through the door and angrily said, “I
will punish you”. Suddenly the lion king returned and said, “I know a trick of how you can
enter the castle”.
The lion told him to reduce his weight. But after a few months the elephant couldn’t reduce
any more weight and still couldn’t enter the castle.
Elephant went to meet the lion. The lion told him that the monkey had built a castle for him,
and he had toiled hard for this. And you decided to punish the monkey, because you were the
king at that time. Now your punishment will be greater than that. Now I am the king of the
forest so I will decide your punishment.
The elephant understood his mistake and was very sorry for this.
Moral- One must learn to have respect for others and their hard work.

TIME DRAGON
A soldier puts its soil as ‘Tilak’
This time dragon of mine,
Sacrifices life for its sake.
Tick-tok’s perfectly fine.
He brings lost time again,
A sports man tries, at the world platform
so I don’t have to bargain.
To win the Gold, and uphold our anthem
‘Jan Gan Man’.
His home is dark and spooky,
Its name is crooky.
Holy chants of Gita, Bible & Quran and
Its motto is – be happy,
other holy scriptures
be kind and snappy.
Spread a Mantra of peace, to keep the
citizens united.
His eyes look cute,
his breath is as melodious as flute.
Each child is blessed with artistic talents
He never false cries
Sculptures of my land, attract the tourists.
and doesn’t like flies.
My friends told me
Not to tell outlandish tales,
And stop turning mellows into whales.
O! dear Carpet,
Be there for someone needy,
but not close to anyone greedy.
Fly me everywhere and anywhere
but take no one nowhere.

LOOK AT THE JUNGLE FLY FREE
Look at the jungle, its full of trees Be free!
Plus, it’s all free!! Just fly from the tree,
Look at it all O! you owl, you elegant fowl
You don’t need to phone or call Just fly around and prowl.
Only relax and watch it dear all. Feel free to glide,
You’ll find it a natural slide.
Look at the monkeys on the trees Just do your work
But in city, there is no free. Like a video game clerk.
Oh! What a clear sight, Just feel and fly
Where there are no fights and rights. Don’t you ever cry
It all will be torn out Hope you will be happy
If humans shout. Flying free in a flash snappy.
O! you owl, feel free
So, dear all, let there be claps And enjoy your spree.
And more flaps, for the jungle. BY AARAV MUTHA – 6I
Look at the animals cry,
Why don’t the birds seem to fly?
Look at the pure water
In city everything is slaughter.
Let it be as it is,
Let it live and flow,
So the life there grows.

THE NIGHT BEFORE
CHRISTMAS
The night before Christmas,
We had a night out
But before Santa came, FUN SCHOOL
It was already lights out. I know a funny school, that’s in my town
Its as funny as a circus clown.
We heard someone breathe, All in all it’s fun,
I know it was Santa. And the best part makes you stun.
But before I knew it, There they teach you wizard magic,
I drank a bottle of Fanta. And there’s ought to be no tragic.
For lunch they serve Sundae and Choco-
I made a loud burp, lava cake,
But didn’t make a sound of slurp. It’s also not poisoned like a snake.
I wouldn’t sleep, I wouldn’t weep, In sports they play Quidditch,
I saw the morning Sun peep. Very easy, just catch the golden snitch.
