Definition  – Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It is 22/7 or 3.14

Once upon a time, a fish was swimming in the sea. And at that time, an owl was flying above. It had spotted a leaf with strange markings. There were circular patterns inside the leaf. This leaf fell into the water, where the fish found it. The fish was spotted with the leaf by the owl who swooped down and took the leaf with circular markings away. The owl took the leaf to her nest and the found out that the circles seem to be created through a compass. Some child who had a geometrical compass has most likely made the markings. The owl was looking for children with such geometrical compasses which made a circle and made it easy to calculate using pi. The owl had once been an ardent mathematician. Once he had calculated the value of Pi, for he had been there for a long time on Earth, as 22/7 or 3.14. Pi was the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
