Nahaia's Pretended Death
One day Nahaia came to the conclusion that he must find out who his true friends and well wishers were. He lay down on the Jhum-path pretending to be dead.
All the passers by saw him but none bothered about him and they merely observed that Nahaia was dead and continued on their way.
Lastly, Chhura came an saw Nahaia lying on the footpath. He was very grieved and then cried bitterly for the supposed death of his elder brother.
He then cancelled his day's programme straightaway and carried him home on his back.
On arrival, Nahaia stood up and said calmly, 'Now I know that it is only my brother Chhura who is my well wisher and true friend. In times of need, he likes to sacrifice his time and strength'.
So, from that time onwards, Naa decided to treat his younger brother with love and compassion and he tried his level best not to repeat his deceitful acts against his brother. |
