Beneath the big oak in the sunny backyard, Siva Avaneesh crouches beside a sleeping brown dog, grinning warmly. Dappled morning light filters through leaves onto the boy’s face and the dog’s gently wagging tail.
Siva Avaneesh stepped outside and saw 1 dog sleeping under the big tree. "Hello, dog!" he whispered, grinning. The dog wagged its tail but stayed in dreamland.
On the park path beside a wooden bench, Siva Avaneesh stands laughing as two playful cats spin in circles, tails intertwined. Late-afternoon sunlight flashes off swirling leaves they chase across the dusty ground.
Near the bench, 2 cats chased each other's tails. Siva Avaneesh laughed, "You two love to play!" The cats meowed and bounced off after a leaf.
In an open meadow under a clear noon sky, Siva Avaneesh stretches his arm upward, smiling at three bright balloons drifting overhead. Sunlight gleams on their red, yellow, and blue skins against the wide blue backdrop.
High above, Siva Avaneesh spotted 3 bright balloons. "They look like colorful planets," he said. He waved at them as they floated gently.
Among blooming garden beds on a warm afternoon, Siva Avaneesh stands amid tall flowers, eyes wide with delight. Four vivid butterflies hover just above his head, sunlit wings casting tiny colored shadows on his cheeks.
In the garden, 4 butterflies fluttered above the flowers. "How beautiful you all are!" Siva Avaneesh admired. The butterflies circled around him before landing lightly.
At a quiet village road under bright morning sun, Siva Avaneesh kneels on the curb, hand outstretched in concern. Five fluffy chicks scurry across the dusty lane toward a waiting mother hen, shadows crisp beneath them.
Suddenly, 5 fluffy chicks crossed the road together. "Be careful, little ones!" Siva Avaneesh called gently. The chicks chirped and hurried after their mother hen.
Outside a small shop in fresh morning light, Siva Avaneesh stands admiring six bikes lined in a neat row.
Outside the shop, Siva Avaneesh counted 6 shiny bicycles. "Maybe I can ride one when I'm bigger," he wondered. The bicycles sparkled in the morning sun.
Inside the community garden during golden sunset, Siva Avaneesh leans forward to sniff seven vividly colored blossoms arranged in a semicircle. Warm light bathes his smiling face while flower petals glow crimson, orange, indigo, and more.
Siva Avaneesh entered the garden and saw 7 bright flowers blooming. "Each one is a different color!" he cheered. He sniffed them and felt happy inside.
Beside a dirt path on a bright afternoon, Siva Avaneesh crouches low, eyes level with eight tiny ants marching in a perfectly straight line. Sunlight sparkles on the crumbs they carry toward a shadowed nest entrance.
Near the path, 8 tiny ants marched in a straight line. "Where are you going, friends?" Siva Avaneesh asked curiously. The ants carried food back to their home.
At the calm pond on a breezy morning, Siva Avaneesh stands on the wooden dock counting nine ducks gliding across rippled water. Soft sunlight dances on green lily pads and the birds’ lifting wings.
At the pond, 9 ducks swam together. "Quack, quack!" Siva Avaneesh called as he counted each one. The ducks quacked back and waved their wings.
Inside the pet shop’s fluorescent-lit aquarium aisle, Siva Avaneesh presses both palms to a glass tank brimming with ten colorful fish. Neon scales shimmer, casting wavering reflections over his fascinated eyes and the plastic coral.
Inside the pet shop, Siva Avaneesh saw 10 fish swimming quickly. "So many colors and tails!" he giggled. The fish bubbled around, putting on a show.
In the cozy living room under evening lamplight, Siva Avaneesh skips toward a smiling woman in a yellow sari, arms open. Toys litter the carpet as he excitedly recounts the day’s discoveries.
Tired and happy, Siva Avaneesh skipped home. "I saw so many things today!" he told his family. He couldn’t wait to count again tomorrow.
At night in his moonlit bedroom, Siva Avaneesh sleeps beneath a patterned blanket, smiling. Transparent images of animals, flowers, and balloons swirl above the bed like soft glowing constellations.
That night, Siva Avaneesh dreamed of all the animals, flowers, and balloons. "Counting is so much fun!" he said in his sleep. He smiled and snuggled under his blanket.
