Once upon a time, there was a young Odia princess named Rani. She lived in a magnificent palace surrounded by lush gardens. Rani was known for her kindness. One day, a poor villager came to the palace seeking help as his crops had been destroyed by a storm.

There was an Odia princess named Lila. She was very intelligent and loved to study. The princess was not content with just learning the usual things princesses were taught. She wanted to study astronomy. So, she convinced her father, the king, to let her study with the court scholars.

Well, she might be brave. For example, she could face a powerful enemy to protect her kingdom.
In an Odia town, there lived a family of artisans. They were famous for their beautiful pottery. The youngest son of the family, Raju, had a dream of creating something truly unique.

There was a new horror story in Odia folklore. A fisherman named Bulu was out at sea one night. The moon was full, but there were dark clouds gathering. As he was pulling in his net, he felt an unusual heaviness. When he finally managed to get the net on the boat, he saw not fish, but a strange, slimy creature with multiple eyes. It hissed at him, and then suddenly, the water around the boat started to swirl violently. Bulu's boat was being pulled down into the depths. He prayed to the local deities but it seemed no help was coming. Just as the boat was about to sink completely, he woke up in his hut, sweating. But he could still hear the hissing sound in his ears, and for days after that, he was too scared to go back to the sea.

It was love at first sight. They started meeting secretly, sharing their dreams and fears. Their love grew stronger day by day. They overcame many obstacles together, like Raj's family's disapproval at first because they thought Rani was from a lower caste. But their love prevailed, and finally, they got married in a grand ceremony attended by the whole village, starting their new life together.
Once there was a man from Odisha. He went to the market to buy a chicken. When he asked the price, the seller said, '50 rupees.' The man replied, 'But in my village, we get it for 30 rupees.' The seller said, 'Then go and buy from your village.' The man thought for a while and said, 'But I'm here now and I don't want to travel back just for a chicken.' And the seller just laughed at his simplicity.
I'm not very familiar with a specific 'first Odia story'. However, Odia literature has a rich history. It might be about the origin of Odia culture, perhaps a story of the first settlers in the Odia - speaking regions, their struggles and triumphs.
There is an Odia horror story set near a cemetery. In this story, a gravedigger noticed that every time he dug a new grave, the soil from the previous grave would shift slightly. One night, while he was still working late, he saw a shadowy hand emerging from one of the graves. He was so terrified that he dropped his tools and ran home. After that night, he refused to work at that cemetery ever again.
There was once an Odia farmer. He had a very naughty goat. One day, the goat ran into the neighbor's vegetable patch and ate all the cabbages. When the neighbor came to complain, the farmer said, 'Oh, that goat is so smart. It thought your cabbages were better than mine!' And they both burst into laughter.
Princess New Name in 'The Neverending Story' was often seen in the enchanted forest that was at the heart of the story's world. This forest was filled with ancient trees that could talk and magical animals. The princess had a close relationship with these forest dwellers.

With the help of a friendly unicorn, she managed to do it and continued her quest to bring peace and harmony back to the world of 'The Neverending Story'.
Love and family could be a common theme. For example, a story about a son who goes on a long journey to find a cure for his sick mother.
