Gauri initially wants to dress the scarecrows in her prettiest clothes, but her mother insists they must look scary to frighten birds. After the scarecrows are placed in the field, Gauri overhears them wishing they had something pretty to wear. They then decide to adorn themselves with the clothes drying on the clothesline, including Gauri's new red frock and ribbons. The scarecrows transform into a parade, enjoying their beautiful new attire and their reflection in the moonlight. The story emphasizes themes of imagination, transformation, and the joy found in simple pleasures, as the scarecrows, meant to be scary, discover a different kind of happiness through dressing up and parading. The narrative is brought to life with vibrant illustrations, capturing the whimsical nature of the scarecrows' unexpected celebration under the moon.","The Scarecrows on Parade Shamim Padamsee  \nTanaya Vyas  \n”Please Ma, may I help you make scarecrows?” asked Gauri. Ma was tying some sticks together to make a scarecrow. 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 adress . ”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 . Gauri 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. A big yellow moon was rising, bathing the field in a soft, white glow.  \nGauri saw a scarecrow look down at its clothes.”Why do we always have to wear these tattered old clothes?” said a scarecrow with a sigh. ”I wish we had something pretty to wear!””Yes, me too!” said another. The scarecrows looked around the field. Suddenly, one of them called out,”Hey, look at those lovely clothes flapping in the breeze . Why don’t we wear those?””Oo-oo! These clothes are so pretty. Let us try them on!” said  \nanother.  \nOne scarecrow tried on a lovely red dress with sequins on them. It sparkled in the moonlight. She tied the pretty red ribbons that were flapping in the breeze on her straw hair. Thrilled with her new clothes she began to show them off.  \nSoon, all the scarecrows were busy dressing up! They began to parade. They walked! They turned! They twisted! They twirled! They tossed their empty mud-pot heads, and smiled their crooked mud-pot smiles. They were having a wonderful time!","cbCaidSvTLRWj0Zp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidSvTLRWj0Zp","pdf",715639,3,16,"English","en",105,"# The Scarecrows on Parade\n## Making Scarecrows\n## The Scarecrows' Wish\n## The Parade","[{\"question\":\"What was Gauri's initial idea for the scarecrows?\",\"answer\":\"Gauri wanted to dress the scarecrows in her own pretty clothes, specifically her new red frock and tie ribbons in their hair.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did Gauri's mother believe scarecrows should look scary?\",\"answer\":\"Her mother explained that scarecrows are meant to scare birds away, so they need to look frightening.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the scarecrows get their new clothes?\",\"answer\":\"The scarecrows took the pretty clothes drying on the clothesline, including a red dress and red ribbons, to adorn themselves.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the scarecrows do after dressing up?\",\"answer\":\"They began to parade, walking, turning, twisting, twirling, and showing off their new outfits with smiles.\"}]",1783570982,25,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":89,"head_meta":91,"extra_data":93,"updated_unix":27},"the-scarecrows-on-parade","",{"@graph":35,"@context":88},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-scarecrows-on-parade/48789/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-16","2026-07-09",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80,84],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What was Gauri's initial idea for the scarecrows?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Gauri wanted to dress the scarecrows in her own pretty clothes, specifically her new red frock and tie ribbons in their hair.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Why did Gauri's mother believe scarecrows should look scary?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Her mother explained that scarecrows are meant to scare birds away, so they need to look frightening.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How did the scarecrows get their new clothes?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"The scarecrows took the pretty clothes drying on the clothesline, including a red dress and red ribbons, to adorn themselves.",{"name":85,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":86},"What did the scarecrows do after dressing up?",{"text":87,"@type":75},"They began to parade, walking, turning, twisting, twirling, and showing off their new outfits with smiles.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":90,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":92,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":95},[96,99,103,107,112,117,122,127,132,135,139],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":128,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":131},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":134},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":136,"slug":138},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":140,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":141,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":142},19,"General","general"]
