Friendship between Nandu and Vedant

A small town surrounded by hills and green forests, simple hardworking people who lead a simple life. The Sun, just waking up and spreading its rays over the body of velvety green earth, puncturing every bit and hole in the earth, its heat gives life to the little seed so that it can get up and see the beautiful world.

Mom, why is Gauri restless today? Why is it getting off? Is something wrong? Vedant asks his mother Meera anxiously. Yes, my son, she is suffering today, she is going to give birth to a baby at any moment. Meera said.

What? A calf will come to our house. Yee! I’m going to play with him. He runs around town beating a toy drum with great happiness. She sits near the barn waiting for the baby to be born, it was getting dark and dark and there is still no sign of a baby. He sleeps on the shell of the stable.

Meera takes him carefully in her arms and places him on her bed, covers a sheet and leaves the room; even she is waiting for Gauri to give birth to a baby.

It was late at night when Meera heard Gauri’s bellowing; She immediately wakes up her husband Raja.

Awake; I think Gauri is in labor pains, we must get to her. Meera wakes up her husband Raja.

Yes, come on, says Raja. They both rush to the stable.

Hears! A cute calf looks at how it is trying to stand on its own two feet. He’s so adorable, Meera squeals with joy. She gives Gauri some cattle feed and puts a hand on the calf very carefully, it is so sweet.

Okay Meera let’s go to sleep now, I have to wake up early to go to town, says Raja.

Meera reluctantly leaves the shed.

Wake up Vedant, a calf has been born, wake up now.

Meera calls Vedant, it’s early at 6 o’clock, but Vedant wants to get some more sleep.

Oh mom! Let me sleep some more, Vedant pleads with his mother.

Look, it’s a newborn calf you were waiting for, get out of bed and see how cute it is.

Vedant jumps out of bed as he rushes to the barn. What a nice scene, Gauri is feeding his little clutch. Both Meera and Vedant fell silent and enjoyed the calf’s activity.

Vedant, what you have to do is name it, it is your duty now.

Okay, sure mom is going to be my best friend, I’ll take care of him, says Vedant enthusiastically.

Vedant prepares to go to school; he is excited to tell all his friends about the calf.

He comes home early that day, slams his backpack against the door, and rushes to the barn to play with his new friend Nandu. Happy day passes Nandu is growing and also their friendship is getting stronger. Vedants avoid his friends from school and spend more time with Nandu.

One day Vedant’s parents returned from the farm. His father washed his hands and legs and called Vedant. “Vedant, will you go to the next village tomorrow?” asks his father.

“Yes, but what is the reason?”

“Oh! You remember Mr. Naidu, he owes money, I’m supposed to pay him 5000 that I took for agricultural purposes. He had come to see me at the farm and asked me for money.

Vedant asked “father, where are you going to get such a large quantity”.

His father replies: “Yes, we don’t have such a large quantity, that’s why I asked you to take our Gauri to his house.”

They were shocking words for Vedant, he asked, are you going to sell Gauri?

Father responds, Mr. Naidu, a very cruel person. He will throw away all household utensils if he did not receive his amount in the case and will abuse us.

There are tears in the vedant’s eye, ask, how can a child live without his mother? If you gift our Gauri to Mr. Naidu, how will Nandu survive? How can you not understand that he talks more? He immediately runs to the kitchen and informs his mother, mom, dad, he is going to sell our Gauri. Mother is aware of everything, the fact that she is trying to convince him.

The next morning, Vedant takes Gauri to the next village. When he opens Gauri, Nandu cries out loud, this creates pain in Vedant’s heart.

Begin to cry. He kept looking at Nandu helplessly, but he couldn’t do anything. Parents don’t sell Gauri; Let Mr. Naidu throw away all our belongings. I won’t let Gauri go like this. He bursts into tears. Even the father does not want to sell his adorable Gauri, but there is nothing he can do to save her.

Vedant’s father hardens his heart and leads Gauri to Mr. Naidu, Nandu cries aloud and so does Vedant.

Three days passed. Vedant did not want to eat his food. Keeps crying. Nandu doesn’t eat his food either.

One day Vedant’s friends come running to him and tell him that there is an animal fair in our village, we are all going to take our livestock and decorate it. Vedant jumps with joy and replies: I am even going to take my Nandu to the fair.

Vedant gradually forgets about Gauri, now he was busy in Nandu. He was more determined on the accessories he would need to decorate Nandu. He opens his piggy bank and counts the amount, but he runs out of money.

It means while your mother returns from the farm. He asks Mom: “Will you lend me some money?”

What is the need for money? Asked his mother. He tells the whole story and asks for some money that is not enough for him.

“Okay, I’ll lend you some,” her mother replies.

Vedant was very happy; He went to the market with his friends to buy the accessories he needed for Nandu to decorate them.

It was a day when Vedant and Nandu were enjoying the fair; They had a great time and came home late at night. Mom was at the door waiting for them to arrive and she could see both of them return with joy, she knew they were very happy.

After two days, Raghu, Vedant’s father friend, came to their house and asked for the money that Vedant’s father had belonged to him.

Vedant’s father wasn’t ready to return his money right away, so Raghu asked to sell Nandu to him, but his father enthusiastically said NO.

Raghu was very angry, he tried to take Nandu with him by force, but Nandu did not move from that place. He would cry loud enough and call Vedant for help.

This time Vedant was very angry because he could not tolerate Raghu’s action. His mother takes him by the hand and pushes him inside the house and after a while Vedant came out with a stick and showered on Raghu, his mother also joins him.

For Raghu it was so unexpected and he tries to escape being hit, runs away and never comes back.

Vedant and Nandu return home.
