Gauri's attempt to dress a scarecrow in her favorite red frock leads to a gentle, humorous lesson from her mother about the true purpose of a scarecrow—to appear frightening to birds. The narrative beautifully captures the warmth of their mother-daughter relationship and the quiet magic of a moonlit countryside evening.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/","Story & Novel",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-scarecrows-on-parade-291644/291644/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-scarecrows-on-parade-291644/291644.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Maeve","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-17",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"Who wrote the book 'The Scarecrows on Parade'?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The story was written by Shamim Padamsee and illustrated by Tanaya Vyas.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"Why did Gauri want to dress the scarecrow in her red frock?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Gauri thought it would make the scarecrow look lovely, but her mother explained that scarecrows need to look scary to effectively keep birds away from the crops.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"What is the setting for the final scene of the story?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"The story concludes at night in their hut, with Gauri resting as a big yellow moon rises and illuminates the field.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},291644,1789646326,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",[84,87,91,95,100,105,110,114,119,122,126],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":85,"slug":86},90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":88,"show_sort_weight":89,"slug":90},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":92,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":96,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":101,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":121},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":125},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":129},19,"General","general",{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":131},{"doc_id":79,"user_id":132,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":22,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":127,"language":139,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":80,"read_time":143},5909877438554,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/5600025385ad2bf12a7?_k=1778553567797529272","The Scarecrows on Parade  \nAuthor: Shamim Padamsee  \nIllustrator: Tanaya Vyas  \nEnglish Story Book  \nThe Scarecrows on Parade  \nAuthor: Shamim Padamsee Illustrator: Tanaya Vyas Reformatted for Bloom By: Cara Ediger Pratham Books  \nEnglish  \nThe Scarecrows on Parade  \nAuthor: Shamim Padamsee  \nIllustrator: Tanaya Vyas  \nCopyright © 2014, Pratham Books  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

She put an old shirt over the sticks, and then stuffed it with hay.  \nGauri walked to the clothesline where the washed clothes were drying. She picked up a dress .  \n\"I will dress her up in my new red frock and tie her hair with red ribbons too! She will look so lovely!\"  \n“You silly girl. You can’t have a pretty scarecrow . Scarecrows have to scare the birds away, and so they must look scary! Like this!” said Mother, making a face and waving her arms .  \nGauri giggled.“You look so funny Ma!”  \nMother took the scarecrows into the fields and fixed them amidst the tall stalks of grain. \"There now, be good scarecrows and chase the birds away,\" said Gauri, patting them.  \nGauri and her mother returned to their hut.  \nGauri went inside and lay on her cot.  \nA big yellow moon was rising, bathing the field in a soft, white glow.","cbCaiqGEC9VAmGZf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqGEC9VAmGZf","pdf",33003334,"English","# Constructing the Scarecrows\n## Gauri's Creative Idea\n## Mother's Lesson on Purpose\n## Setting the Scarecrows in the Field\n## Evening in the Countryside","[{\"question\":\"Who wrote the book 'The Scarecrows on Parade'?\",\"answer\":\"The story was written by Shamim Padamsee and illustrated by Tanaya Vyas.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did Gauri want to dress the scarecrow in her red frock?\",\"answer\":\"Gauri thought it would make the scarecrow look lovely, but her mother explained that scarecrows need to look scary to effectively keep birds away from the crops.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the setting for the final scene of the story?\",\"answer\":\"The story concludes at night in their hut, with Gauri resting as a big yellow moon rises and illuminates the field.\"}]","The Scarecrows on Parade | PDF",29]
