My name is Somu Prakash Kumaran and as anyone always does, I will introduce myself. I am eleven years old and if I need to go in to the intricate details of it, I am short. I mean really short so if you are similar to me you can imagine how life would be at school as well as in the society. Being ridiculed, taunted, made fun of and of course the one and only "being bullied". You might wonder if I would even be having a single friend. Yes, I do and he is the tallest boy in class so again you can visualize me being compared with my best friend when I make my entrance into the class. I really dreaded my height until just last week when I understood that I really have to be grateful for it. It was a Saturday sunnier than the usual weather and so I decided to go swimming.


As I neared the pool I noticed that I was late in my observation of the weather as it was crowded. I was able to make out what was the exact description of a fish market. To add to this problem, one pool out of the two was damaged. There was a small hole into which the water was draining but the water in the pool didn't get over. I was shocked as it was miraculous. I went closer to observe how this was happening and at that moment Rajesh, the bully who loved bullying me and took pleasure from it pushed me into the damaged and mystical pool. At the same moment the security guard who was also supposed to do the job of life guard was in deep slumber. I kicked my feet hard and tried to reach the wall but the force of suction was much stronger. I swung my hands when my efforts to swim back seemed impossible.


I opened my mouth in my trial to shout out loud for rescue but was instantly choked by the water in the pool. I was pulled towards the small hole. It was very similar in sight to a whirlpool. I was scared that I would get stuck in between the hole and choke to death but instead me being small helped me get through but I had held my breath for long and therefore I blacked out. I actually thought that that was my last breath to be true. After around couple of h0urs or so I woke up to discover that I was floating on water so I assumed that someone had saved me but what confused me was the fact that they had left me on water instead of taking back on land but however I was grateful at that moment.


I tried to move but my body felt as though all the energy had been drained off and I couldn't move. I tried once again and it was successful. When I turned to swim back, I was bamboozled. The water tasted salty and there was an island nearby full of coconut trees on the creases and went lusher with a green forest covering as it went deeper. There was a small pointy hill which was actually quite tall as I reached the shore and looked at it. I was confused to the core. How had I reached here, what island was this, was it anywhere close in India like Andaman and Nicobar or in some other part of the world and was there anyone here who could help me out by answering these questions. I decided to go deeper inside and so I found myself walking past the coconut trees. While making my way deeper into the island I noticed a fallen banana peel that laid on a pile of dried leaves.


It made no sense at all to see a banana peel in the middle of an isolated island. I went closer without understanding that it was a trap and the moment I picked the banana peel, an arrow whizzed past me missing me by few inches. This made me come to a sure conclusion that whoever designed this trap was obviously bad at archery. I turned to the side of where the arrow had made it's appearance from and noticed a huge brown hat that protruded from the top of a bunch of shrubs. A moment later a man appeared wearing the huge brown hat. I went close to him and in the blink of my eye, he was behind me. When I turned to look back , he was about about to make his disappearance again but before he could , I held on to his small and stubby fingers and I assume that for someone who watched all this, I too disappeared with him but in my point of view I appeared in a pitch black hall or room with nothing except blackness and suddenly appeared on the summit of the hill I had viewed from the shore.


The view was just fantabulous. I was able to see a vivid image of painting of a lush green forest followed by a beach view with the sun standing bright and proudly spreading happiness in the form of sunlight at the center of the sky. I was only able to observe the man clearly now. He was obviously a creature from one of the fantasy books and from what I had read, he was a mix of a dwarf, an elf and a pixie capable of those special powers. I wondered if he was the antagonist of the adventure that I was actually taking part in but understood how kind he was right after that. He conversed with me in perfect English with a slight British accent and I asked all my million questions to him in a hurry. He answered everything briefly and calmly delivering all complete answers in simple sentences.


To explain what exactly had happened, the small hole in the pool had actually been an entrance into the sky which again made no sense to me but when I asked him again, he told me that the entrance led to the part of the sky which was the twenty - first cloud from anyone's location and that each cloud that humans saw actually consisted of magical universes that then had galaxies of there own. I asked him to drop me at the exit from the island which was the entrance back to my world but instead he dropped me at the shore and in the distance I noticed some logs burning with flame next to a coconut tree and the moment I blinked, a coconut fell into the flame and the flame was rushing towards me. I was frightened and when I turned towards him he transformed into a creature which was in description a cockroach with the head of a mosquito buzzing like a bee. He was still able to speak and he uttered some words in a high pitched noise, "I just gave the answers to your questions to make you understand this secret of the world before I could eat you because either ways you wouldn't return to where you came from but some other part of the world because the position of the clouds keep changing.". He began laughing in the same high - pitched voice with some buzzing tones in the middle.


The flame approached in a funny way with a coconut at the border of the flame which made no sense but after deep thought in few seconds I realized how the flame had been instigated to approach me and so I kicked the coconut with my toes. I did break my little s ejected from one cloud and into the twenty first one from that cloud. During this movement in the sky I saw dinosaurs on the barren land surface below and before I could make out where I was, I entered the cloud and fortunately reached the same damaged pool. This time I was able to reach the surface. The security pulled me out and apologized many times for being seconds late. I was shocked as I had felt that hours had got over in the other cloud but in my time, just few seconds had got over. Even then I was too tired to ponder upon the logic and stuff. Until now I never told this to anyone and I don't know if I ever will and that's why I decided that I would narrate this to you using my pen, my Dear Diary...
