| Homework |
Though her father could read and write and do basic mathematical calculations, he was not able to help in Kamali's homework. Some days Kamali came to the class without completing the homework given by teacher. Mellina did not like Kamali, but Kamali wanted to befriend her. Whenever Kamali tried to speak with Mellina, she turned her head away and left the place. This hurted Kamali but she did not tell this to anyone.
On a sunday evening, Kamali was returning back from her father's farm. In the school ground, Mellina was flying a kite which her father got from the town. Kamali went near Mellina and asked, " Mellina, may I also join with you to fly kite?"
Mellina replied," No!"
Kamali said, "I also like kite flying. Please Mellina, may I join you?"
Mellina with a hatred look replied, " I do not like people who arenot doing their homework regularly!"
Kamali with tears in her eyes, " My parents are not educated as like yours. They are unable to help me with homework!"
Mellina did not reply to this. Kamali sadly left the place.
Mellina was flying kite alone for sometime. Wind blew heavily and the kite's thread cut off and the kite flew apart.
After searching it for sometime, Mellina found the kite stuck in a tree branch. She do not know how to climb a tree and became worried about getting the kite down. Mellina is afraid to climb on the tree. Without knowing what to do, she stood near the tree. Kamali saw this from her home. She came out and climbed the tree easily . She got the kite from the branch and gave it to Mellina. She thanked Kamali and wondered how she could climb the tree without fear.
Kamali said, " I climb trees to pull twig of leaves for feeding our goats. I am not afraid to climb on trees and I am not afraid to help anyone who is in need."
Those words touched Mellina's heart. She also learnt that she should be helpful to one who is in need. Mellina and Kamali started to study together. Kamali was appreciated by her teacher for finishing homework daily. Mellina and Kamali became inseparable friends and successful in their classes.
Moral: Helping one in need is equal to helping God.
