Introduction
As discussed earlier, storytelling is a great way to teach any language. Keeping that in mind, I have come up with the next continued story of Raja and Rani.
This story is connected to the previous story of Introduction Raja and Rani. You can't grasp today's story without reading its previous one.
In this storytelling series, each story involves some activities on learning English.
Teachers can use these stories in their classroom activities. They can also use these stories to conduct Vidyagama activities. Vidyagama is a program introduced by the Government of Karnataka, Department of Public instructions for all the students studying in the government schools. This program is very effective for the students of remote locations and has no access to the internet for conducting teaching-learning activities during the Covid-19 pandemic.
You can access them all Vidyagama English Worksheets here.
Before going to continue reading with today's story, you need to please read the earlier story: Introduction to Raja and Rani.

The story begins..
Raja and Rani are on their way to school. Raja got late for school because he did not want to drink milk. But Raja’s mother would not let him go to school without drinking milk. She scolded him. He started crying but he had to drink up all the milk.
Rani was waiting for him near the gate. When she saw him she said, “I was waiting for you for 10 minutes. We are going to be late for school.” Then she saw that Raja was looking sad so she asked him why he was so sad.
Raja: I didn’t want to drink milk but Amma wouldn’t let me go without drinking it.
Rani: Oh Raja, you know that we have to drink milk. It makes us strong and healthy. I drink milk every day.
Raja: But I don’t like the tasteof it.
Rani: Mix some sugar in it and drink it. That’s what I do.
Raja: Ok. I’ll tell Amma to put sugar in my milk.
They both reach school. They study and play with their friends. When they return from school they are very excited because they have learned something new- the letters of the English alphabet which they want to share with you.
