Once upon a time, in a mystical land where the flowers could talk and the stars could sing, lived a brave and wondrous young god named Muruga.
Muruga loved to explore! With his peacock friend, Paravai, he soared over rivers, climbed mountains, and danced around jungles. Zoom! Zoom! Zippity-doo!
But Muruga had a secret quest. He was on a mission to find the most ticklish, laughter-inducing feather in the whole wide world!
“Paravai, we must find the Silly Feather!” Muruga exclaimed. Paravai squawked with excitement, flapping her wings like a happy drum. Flap, flap, flap!
Through enchanted forests, where trees whispered secrets, they traveled. The trees would giggle as they passed by. “Hee, hee, hee!”
Under candy-colored rainbows and twinkling fireflies, they wandered. The fireflies blinked like tiny stars, “Twinkle, twinkle, flash-a-dash!”
One day, they met a wise old owl named Hootie. “The Silly Feather?” Hootie hooted. “You must go to the Giggle Tree in the Land of Chuckles!”
With a ‘hoot-hoot’ and a friendly wink, Hootie vanished into the night. Muruga and Paravai knew their journey was far from over. Hoot! Hoot!
Finally, they reached the Land of Chuckles. There, in the center, stood the majestic Giggle Tree, its branches vibrating with joy. Ha, ha, ho, ho!
Muruga found the Silly Feather! It shimmered with all the colors of joy. When he touched it, a thousand tiny giggles filled the air. Tee-hee! Tee-hee!
Muruga and Paravai flew back home, the Silly Feather in hand. They knew their adventure had just begun, as long as they were together. Whoosh! Whee!
And so, Muruga and Paravai lived happily ever after, always ready for the next whimsical quest. And they laughed forever more! Hee, hee, hee!
