The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers (Les Trois Mousquetaires) is a novel written by Alexandre Dumas, published in 1844. It is a story about a man named d’Artagnan who wants to be a guard of the musketeers. He is however not one of the three in the title, the three are Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. The three good friends are the ones who lived by the motto "all for one, one for all".

I am going to tell a story about another group of musketeers; Danial, Ilhan and Luqman.

Danial is the eldest, in fact he is the eldest son of the eldest son and the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson. Quite an honour I must say and with it brings a lot of responsibilities and expectations. Of the three, he is the quiet and shy one. Despite being reserved, he is very caring, evident in how he cares for his younger siblings. At the moment his life evolves around the TV, PS2, the internet, swimming and a bit of football. This musketeer wants to be a mathematician when he grows up.

Ilhan is the middle musketeer. He is the joker of the pack. Unlike his brother, Ilhan is talkative and friendly. He can make friends with anyone, anywhere. Being talkative, he expresses his feelings openly, often telling his mum how much he misses his often absent daddy. This musketeer loves animals, each and every one and he wants to be a veterinarian. Unlike his elder brother, PS2 and computers do not interest him much. This amazing boy is not afraid of dentists. In fact he went to the dentist at his school on his own, not once but twice! Once to pull out his baby tooth and the other time for a filling.

The baby musketeer is actually the bossy musketeer. Being the youngest, he tends to get his way. The elder brothers also tend to let him have his way. He has come to an age where he’s learnt to decide on his attire. Often, when he’s into a particular attire, he will insist on wearing the same outfit every day. Like his eldest brother, he is very much attached to the TV. This adorable musketeer is definitely a sight for sore eyes.
