the great escape kids stories



🌈 A delightful tale from The Guava Tales

It was Aunt Reema’s birthday! 🎉 The entire house buzzed with excitement.
Colorful balloons, ribbons, and confetti lay scattered all over the floor.
Everyone had an important job — and everything seemed to be going perfectly.

Rahul, a cheerful 14-year-old boy, had been assigned to hang the big “Happy Birthday Aunt Reema!” banner. His sister Mina was blowing up balloons as fast as she could. Their parents were busy arranging candles, snacks, and the delicate decorations.



The clock ticked, the music played, and laughter filled the air… until—


🎈 The Sticky Situation!

While Rahul stretched up to hang the huge banner, disaster struck!

He tugged a roll of packing tape a bit too hard.
Then another pull.
Then—snap!

Before he knew it, he had wrapped the tape around his arm, his leg, and then somehow… his entire body! 😱

“Uh-oh,” Rahul mumbled, trying to move. The more he wriggled, the tighter the tape became.
It clung to his clothes, his hair, even his shoelaces.



Mina rushed over to help. “Don’t worry, I’ll save you!” she cried heroically.
But instead of freeing him, she panicked and started wrapping him with even more tape!


Within minutes, poor Rahul looked like a walking mummy—shiny, sticky, and completely helpless.
He couldn’t even scratch his nose!

Mom and Dad tried to pull the tape off gently, but it stuck stubbornly.
“Arrey baba!” sighed Dad, tugging. “This tape is stronger than glue!”
“It’s stronger than Rahul!” added Mina, giggling uncontrollably.

But as the clock ticked closer to party time, everyone began to worry.
Would they miss Aunt Reema’s big celebration because Rahul had turned into a roll of tape?


🧴 Enter Mannu – The Quick Thinker!

Just then, the door swung open.
Rahul’s best friend, Mannu, entered with his usual grin. 😄



He froze. His jaw dropped.
There stood Rahul, stiff as a stick, shining like a silver robot.

“Whoa,” said Mannu. “Is this a science project… or modern art?”

Everyone stared helplessly, hoping he’d know what to do.
And of course, Mannu did!

He dashed into the kitchen and came back holding a large bottle of cooking oil.
“Time to fry the problem!” he announced proudly.

Before anyone could stop him, he poured the oil all over Rahul’s arms and legs.
The tape began to slide a little—but now Rahul looked like a greasy banana! 🍌

And that’s when the real chaos began.


☁️ The Flying Cotton Disaster

Just as Mannu was about to celebrate his success, Uncle Ramesh walked in—carrying a big pile of soft cotton for his craft factory.

But a sudden gust of wind blew through the open window—whoooosh!
The cotton flew everywhere like a mini snowstorm! ❄️

Everyone gasped as the fluffy cotton stuck perfectly to Rahul’s oily tape!
In seconds, he was covered head to toe in white fluff.



Mina burst out laughing. “Look, it’s a snowman! No, wait—it’s Rahul the Snow Monster!
Even Mom couldn’t stop giggling.


🎭 The “Snow Cool” Birthday Plan

The room was a total mess.
The family was running late.
Rahul was still stuck.

That’s when Mannu’s eyes sparkled again. “Wait—I have another idea!” he shouted.
“This isn’t a problem. It’s a party theme!”



Everyone stared.
He grinned.
“Today’s theme is… Snow Cool Birthday! 🧊❄️”


The family loved it!
Within minutes, they wrapped themselves with a few strips of sticky tape, rolled in cotton, and transformed into a snowy family.

They turned on the AC at full blast, scattered cotton around the floor, and decorated the house with blue and white ribbons.


Mom even added extra ice cream to the dessert menu! 🍦🍧



When the guests arrived, they were amazed.
“Wow! What a cool idea!”
“It feels like winter inside!”

Everyone laughed, danced, and enjoyed the chilly surprise. The party became such a hit that people talked about it for years!


😂 The Truth Revealed

Later that evening, Aunt Reema heard the full story of how her “Snow Cool Birthday” began.
She laughed so hard that tears rolled down her cheeks!

“Oh, Rahul! You gave me the best birthday story ever!” she said between giggles.

Rahul turned red with embarrassment, but deep inside, he smiled.
He looked at Mannu and said, “Thanks, buddy. You really saved the day.”

Mannu winked. “Anytime! Just… maybe no more tape next time?”

Everyone burst into laughter again.

And that, dear reader, was truly The Great Escape!

Even in the stickiest situations, a little creativity and teamwork can turn trouble into a joyful memory!
