A Visit to the Farm - By Aarush Karmakar

Once upon a time in Panvel, two children named Raj and Priya, during their summer vacation decided to visit an animal farm. They wanted to visit the farm as they had not seen one since childhood.

 

When they reached the farm, they were very excited and could not believe that they were finally in the place they wanted to visit since childhood. Both of them were brother and sister (twins) and studied in the VII standard .Whey they were small, their grandparents told them lots of stories about animal farms. The farm which they were visiting belonged to their grandparents. After the passing of their grandparents, there was no one to take care of the farm. Their parents had no time to visit or took care of the farm. It was their grandparent’s last wish to take great care of the farm as they loved the place and its location. From that day onwards, their parents promised to visit the farm at least once a month and see to its well-being.

 

When they reached the farm, they found the farm in a horrible condition. The animals were treated brutally, not given food on time and many animals were found dead. The chicks were running everywhere in search of food, the pigs were lying here and there in hunger, the trees had lost its greenery and the caretaker who had been given the responsibility could not be seen anywhere. Raj and Priya got angry and decided to do everything on their own. They cleaned the farm, watered the plants and trees, fed the chicks and bathed the pigs. Soon after that, all the animals started feeling energized and rejuvenated. The chicks were happy and running about as they had never done before.

 

Finally all the animals were fine and healthy and on seeing them, Raj and Priya experienced immense joy and pleasure. After returning home, they felt satisfied that they had kept their promise to their grandparent’s and now the latter’s soul would happily rest in peace.
