Bluebottles

Dear Children,
Most of you must be wondering as to what is so serious about the Bluebottles that the football match scheduled for today had to be cancelled. Well,Sudhanshu kaka was going to write about it but his internet is not functioning , so I am trying to explain in layman's words.
Despite its outward appearance, the bluebottles are not truly jelly fish. they have venomous tools. When they are touched, they inject the venom into the intruders body. This leads to severe allergies in humans and it can even be fatal.
Some newspapers have reported these bluebottles being sighted on the beaches of mumbai. It is rare for only a single bluebottle to be found; the discovery of one usually indicates the presence of many as they are usually congregated by currents and winds into groups of thousands. Given their sting , they must always be treated with caution. In other countries, their spotting in large numbers may lead to the beaches being cordoned off.
We parents really regret to cancell the scheduled programme but safety being of paramount importance we cannot take any chances.
