The
Loyal Squirrel
Once upon
a
time,
there
was
a
villager
named
Ramu,
he
had
a
pet
squirrel
called
Shengu.
He
loves
peanuts
and
actual
playful
in
nature.
He
likes
to
mock
children’s
and
makes
fun
of
them.
However,
his
kind
quality
of
serving
everyone
melts
Ramu’s
heart.
Ramu
being
a
gardener
spent
day
in
taking
care
of
his
master’s
garden.
Ramu looks at his kids and thinks, “one day you will make me proud, my children.” His face changed into calm and composed. He again thought petting one of his child’s head, “you will not work as a gardener.” He is sick yet carries food to his children.
Shengu knows Ramu works hard and takes care of his master’s garden. He decides to help Ramu in his work to reduce his overload.
Even so, knowing his naughty nature, Ramu commands him, “this is my master’s yard. You will not play here.” Shengu agrees and pulls the pipe to sprinkle water on flowers, but his over-excitement habit, wets Ramu.
He became furious and chooses to punish Shengu. Ramu orders him, “you will go and sit on the tree without saying a word” his temper didn’t stop here. He continued saying, “you will not disturb me.” Ramu is still wet so changes his clothes and continues work throughout the day. Shengu sadly sits on the tree. He looks at the kids playing under the tree and does not budge.
However, kids startled when Shengu didn’t jump on them. One of the kids asked, “What happened Shengu? Today you will not play with us?” Shengu unhappily shook his head but does not give them a hint. It was the first time, when Shengu didn’t make fun of kids.
The four kids decide to bring Shengu down to play with them. One of the kids said, “I will bring peanuts. He loves them. He will surely come down.” Other three kids excitedly agreed and wait until peanuts were bought for Shengu.
Shengu’s eyes twinkled gaping at peanuts. He wanted to grab his favorite food. Nevertheless, when glanced towards Ramu, he realized that he cannot get down until Ramu doesn’t command him to do so.
Kids plan failed. However, they didn’t stop here. They decide to bring Matur. He is a big fat kid harasses them. It’s only Shengu, who can stop him as he gets scared of him.
Matur came to know that these four kids require help to make Shengu happy. He chooses to take benefit and opens harasses those kids. He pulled one of kid’s hairs. Other three cry, “Help! Help!” they continued screaming, “Please someone help” When Shengu hears them for help, he thought, “I should help them” but another voice in his mind said, “no. no. I can’t go down. My master will not like it.” He became upset and felt helpless. Shengu is loyal to Ramu and cannot disobey his command.
These kids plan failed again but didn’t give up on their friend, Shengu. They called Ramu, “Uncle. Shengu is not coming down” Ramu well-informed them, “He is punished.”
Kids felt amazed and begged for reason. Ramu said, “Shengu became very naughty. I told him not to play in the yard, and so he made me wet.” He continued, “This is his punishment.” Hearing this, kids became sad and went back to their home.
Older Ramu neglected Shengu and went back to his home.
Shengu watches him and thinks, “I am here” he is heart-broken as Ramu is not talking to him.
Lalit and Sunil asked his father, “baba where is Shengu?” Ramu is stunned while looking around him and realized that he is still on the tree. He sprints and cries “come down Shengu.” Excitedly he comes down and jumps on Ramu. They both smile and laugh. Ramu says, “I am sorry son. I left you alone.” Shengu forgives knowing Ramu is getting older.
Shengu runs behind Ramu till home. Lalit and Sunil happily hug Shengu.
Next day, Ramu let Shengu assists him in gardening. He told Shengu to bring scissor. Shengu ran inside and bought it. He looked carefully without making a mistake and helped Ramu in his work.
Ramu and Shengu are happy and work together as gardeners.
Moral: Animals are harmless and loyal. If you give them love, they will never betray you.
