Nadim the Mathematician

by Samaira Jain aged 10

Singapore,
It was a small fishing village nestled by the sea
People lived simple lives
Nothing complicated
Day by day as time passed
Their peace was disrupted by a giant swordfish
With evil and wide open eyes
The wicked swordfish would attack and kill everybody
Who dared to ventured too close to the water
As this time passed the supply of fishes
Dwindled and dwindled
Village leaders along with the Raja decided
To take over and kill the cruel enormous swordfish
They prepared and trained but on the day
They went to kill the swordfish
The swordfish was fully ready for the war to start
It started killing the soldiers one by one
And almost none of them were left
There was complete silence
But then appeared a little boy named Nadim
Nadim was clever minded
And had a great passion for numbers
He went to the soldier and told him the idea
The soldier went to the king
And asked for the approval
The king approved and they prepared the catapult
They took it to the shore and waited for the swordfish
To come to exact coordinates of the shore
Which were (5, 4)
They waited long and then it finally came
To the exact coordinate
They launched the catapult
The swordfish was demolished and killed
Nadim was taken to the royal palace
The king awarded him by a trophy and blessings
He gave him the trophy of the
‘Best Coordinate Master of Mathematician’
Nadim thanked the king
He became a contributor to the royal palace
Nadim was awarded many trophies by the royal palace
