I am daisy. I am eight years old. I live in Delhi, India. I study in St. Paul’s School. I read in class three. My father is a banker and my mother is a teacher. I have an elder brother. He is ten years old. He studies in class fifth. Our house is situated in Preet Vihar. It has four rooms – a drawing-cum-dining room, two bedrooms and a study room. It has a small lawn in front of it and a small kitchen garden at the back. I help my mother in cleaning the house. I also water the plants in the garden. In the kitchen garden we grow seasonal vegetables. It is simply wonderful to see these plants grow. I go to school regularly and do my homework properly. I get good marks in the exams. My teachers and parents are happy with me.

But like all children I also love to play and watch television. I like to watch cartoon serials. Mowgli, Mickie Mouse and Donald Duck are my favourite cartoons. I also love all the Barbie movies. My parents are fond of reading and so we have loads of books at home. Lots of children’s books too. I have read all the fairy tales and Panchatantra tales. My parents say that books can be a person’s best friend.
