Grandma stories for the young

in #parenting5 years ago

Sonu was a hard working man. He used to go to the forest daily, to collect firewood and sell it for the right price. He used the money to look after his family and also to farm the small piece of land he owned. He lived a simple life and was happy. He also had good neighbors which he considered a blessing.

One day, he went into the forest as usual to collect firewood. The climate was very dry and the dry leaves were scattered about. He went inside the forest and started collecting the broken branches when he saw the smoke.

He went into alert mode and started running towards the place where the smoke seemed to be rising. A twig had caught fire and the fire was spreading slowly towards the dry leaves. He quickly grabbed a bunch of green leaves and quickly beat the fire with it and tried to extinguish the fire. He also tried to cut the fire off but removing the dry leaves and formed an outer circle in which there were no dry leaves or twigs.

Slowly, the fire died down. Sonu sat down exhausted. He could hear people running towards him but he did not have the energy to open his eyes.

The villagers ran towards him and gave him water and made him get up. They took him to the village. Some of the villagers made sure that the fire had died down for sure.

Sonu was given a warm reception later that evening. If it had not been for his timely action, the fire would have destroyed both the forest and the villages nearby.

Sonu was glad he could avert a huge disaster and thanked the almighty for giving him presence of mind.
