The Story of the Jingle Bells

Once upon a time, on a Christmas tree, there lived happily a family of Jingle Bells - Father Bell, Mother Bell, Brother Bell, Sister Bell and a Baby Bell. They were all soo happy to live together in a same tree and rejoiced each others company by making sweet and melodious noise and twinkling all the time.

One day, a naughty boy, named Jackie, visited the Christmas tree. He was fascinated by the grandeur of the Christmas Tree and was observing all the nice tinkling, twining and shining decorations on the tree. His attention suddenly went to the set of Jingle bells, looking alike, but varying in sizes. Being inquisitive and naughty by nature, Jackie was curious to see the bells and decided to look at them more closely. So he first picked up the Baby Jingle Bell.

The Baby Jingle Bell, who was basking under the comfort of this family side by side, when suddenly removed from the tree was taken aback. The brother, sister, mother and father jingle bells too were shocked to see the baby bell in the hands of a stranger, but were totally helpless as they could do nothing about it. Jackie kept throwing the Jingle bell up and down and tried shaking the baby bell to see what sound it makes. So upset with being separated from its family, the baby bells, refused to make any noise. So how much ever Jackie tried hard to shake and bring out the noise of the baby bell, the baby bell just didn't budge but kept quite. So bored to see the baby bell not making any noise, Jackie lost interest on it. So he kept the baby bell back on the tree and decided to test the brother bell and pulled it out. 

The Brother bell who was already upset seeing his baby brother taken away, was only more upset and shocked when it released that the naughty boy has replaced him for his brother in his hands. So helpless as his baby brother, the brother jingle bell too couldn't to do much but to stop making any sound when Jackie tried to shake him. Jackie was disappointed with this bell too, so he decided to replace him with the sister jingle bell. 

When the sister jingle bell was taken away from the tree, she too felt very miserable and behaved the same way as her brothers. Jackie this was quite irritated and disappointed to see that all the three jingle bells aren't making any noise. He was getting impatient too. Then he laid his eyes on the big Mother Jingle bell, bigger and more attractive in size, Jackie felt that she might at-least would make some noise. So kept the sister bell back and picked up the Mother Jingle bell.

The Mother Jingle bell was so emotional seeing her children being whisked away one after the other by the mischevious boy. Now when her turn came up, she was like a full emotional baggage ready to explode. So when Jackie picked her up and tried shaking her to see whether she is making any noise, the Mother Jell not just made a noise, but she made a big sobbing wail, which was so unbearable to hear. Jackie could not bear the terrible (crying) sound that the Mother Bell was making, so he kept back the Mother bell back to the tree. Now almost restless and still a bit of curiosity lingering in him, Jack thought he would finally check on the father Bell. 

The Father Jingle Bell, who was silently watching all the spectacle-- unfolding in front of him, was it a fit of rage and anger on Jackie for making each of his family member cry. He was waiting for the most opportune moment to reprimand Jackie for his misdeeds. So when Jackie picked him up after putting back Mother Jingle Bell back on the tree, the Father Jingle Bell was waiting for the moment when Jackie would shake him to hear his sound. When Jack did that, the Father Jingle Bell, it all his might, made huge thunderous noise that Jackie ears hurt a lot and out of the sheer rudeness in the bell sound, he dropped the bell from his hand. The Father Jingle bell, came down with all his might and dropped himself very hard on Jackie's feet. Crying in pain, Jackie picked up the heavy Father Jingle Bell and put him back on the tree and ran home, vowing not to come back to the Christmas tree at all.

Seeing Jackie running so fast to his home, all the jingle bells felt very happy to be united again in the tree and lived happily ever after without any interference.
