My Dear children

Why not, my dear, Grandfather ? Open the secrets and let this world know what they have.
You know, my
white hair and
these beards
hide a lot of
secrets. Don’t
you want to
share what they
have?
M K Mishra, TGT English J N V Borai, Durg, India
I will definitely tell you something very special but tell me about yourself first.
M K Mishra, TGT English J N V Borai, Durg, India
How sweet is my village!
Well, I am Prem. I live in a village. People of my village belong to many communities. They don’t live happily. They poke their noses in other’s business. You know, last night what happened ? People of my village went mad. Why ? Because far away in a place a temple and a mosque had been burnt down. And they started fighting with one another here in this village.

I remained there for sometimes in my same condition. Then an old man like you with white hair, white beard and dark eyes came to me. He put some sweets in my mouth and gave a glass of cold water.
M K Mishra, TGT English J N V Borai, Durg, India

fine this old
man is !

He gently rubbed my legs. The pain of my legs was gone. I felt relieved.
He asked me
about my
whereabouts.
I told him
truthfully
everything.
He was shocked to listen to my story.

here in my life!
But here……this seems a very strange place !
Prem, I will tell you a story of
Pambutatti. You can take this
story back to your village. May be it

village.

Oh, Grandfat
her, don’t say
that. I never
want to go back to my
village. But that’s exactly why you must go
back.
I won’t argue him now. I want to hear his story.
M K Mishra, TGT English J N V Borai, Durg, India
It happened a long, long ago.
So long ago that there were no schools and
no teachers. Children lived in caves with their parents. At that time
there were no tigers or
elephants in Pambupatti
forest. There were only reptiles.
The old man narrates
the story.
M K Mishra, TGT English J N V Borai, Durg, India
Reptiles have scales on their bodies and they lay eggs.

Every month the reptiles of
Pambupatti had a big meeting.
Everyone came in this meeting.
They looked all grumpy because they were all out
of water. The President of these
meetings was Makra, the
biggest crocodile of the forest.

They all left the forest with their heavy hearts. But they had to follow the orders of Makara, the Leader of the Reptiles.
M K Mishra, TGT English J N V Borai, Durg, India
Now, Makara, with his relatives, lived in the forest happily. There were no other animals.
M K Mishra, TGT English J N V Borai, Durg, India
But their happiness didn’t last long. Soon the odds started happening.
There were bad smells of the dead bodies in the water. Turtles used to eat them up.
Rats became bold because there was no snake to swallow them up.
Ants started moving here and there. Sometimes an army of ants marched over their bodies.
Life became unbearable for them in the absence of these animals.
