My favourite cartoon is Tom and Jerry. It is an American animated series created in 1940 by William Hannah and Joseph Barbera. Tom and Jerry is a comedy show. It is the genre of slapstick comedy. It was first released on 10 February,1940 and it lasted till September 27,2005. The main distributors of the show was Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and currently it has been distributing by Warner Bros./Turner Entertainment. The total episodes released were 162 from 1940-2005.The first released episode was "Puss Gets The Boots" in the year 1940. It was the first cartoon to get nominated for Academy Award for Short Cartoons. First Episode: In this episode Tom always grabs Jerry with his tail where Jerry always tries to run away from Tom. The Tom chases the mouse into the flower stand where it cracks. The flowers and its pot get destroyed. Mammy Two Shoes is Tom's mistress, she enters the room and scolds Tom for its behaviour. She told if he again breaks anything then he will be out of the house. The Jerry mouse came to know about the weakness of the cat Tom. So Jerry always threatens him by throwing the glass from the top of the shelf whenever Tom tries to grab him. Ultimately Jerry makes it hard for Tom by throwing the glasses one by one on the floor. Tom tries to catch glasses with its plate from floor. After doing so much practice of catching glasses, an idea finally came to his mind and he keeps cushions on the floor. Tom again comes to Jerry mouse ; where Jerry again tries to threaten him but this time he becomes unsuccessful. He sees that Tom has find solution to his problem. Tom makes a terrified face to Jerry where Jerry gave a scary laugh to Tom and tries to run away from him. This is one of my favourite episode of Tom and Jerry series. Speechless action of Tom and Jerry with small fun activities connects children's emotion with their childish imagination.

Ruskin Bond used to spend his summer at his grandmother’s house in Dehradun. While taking the train, he always had to pass through a small station called Deoli. No one used to get down at the station and nothing happened there. Until one day he sees a girl selling fruit and he is unable to forget her.

What Is Great About It: Ruskin Bond is a writer who can communicate deep feelings in a simple way. This story is about our attachment to strangers and why we cherish them even though we do not meet them ever again.
