Here’s my entry, as silly as it may sound, I hope its ok

Not too long ago, in a faraway land called Indrapura, there lived a poor but rich old man, by the coast. He was absolutely qrzâz, and loved his money so much that he slept with all of his money and counted each of the banknotes before he went to sleep each night. One night, his nose got irritated while counting his money. This caused him to get into a sneezing bout till khnôna splashed onto his money.” Wîlî wili ” he exclaimed, as he frantically tried to clean his money. He waited till it was morning and he put his money out to dry within the garden of his house. Suddenly, a farâsha landed on some of his money. He tried to chase the farâsha away. Suddenly a swarm of farâsha came his way and started to attack him. The old man ran as fast as he could and tried to take cover. Unknowingly, he ran till he reached the jetty at the coast. There, a babbôr was about to move off. Desperate to escape from the swarming farâsha , the old man jumped onboard the babbôr . Soon after, the babbôr moved off. The old man then became frantic and jumped into the sea but he realised he couldn’t swim. And he was never seen again…..

The End.
