How sweet is my village!
Well, I am Prem. I live in a village. People of my village belong to many communities. They don’t live happily. They poke their noses in other’s business. You know, last night what happened ? People of my village went mad. Why ? Because far away in a place a temple and a mosque had been burnt down. And they started fighting with one another here in this village.

How mad of them! They have
set my village on fire. My

They fought vehemently. And finally they set fire to the village. Everyone’s house was on fire. All of them ran to save their lives. Only I was left alone in my village. Finally my house was put to fire too.

Then he took me to his house.
He gently rubbed my legs. The pain of my legs was gone. I felt relieved.

It happened a long, long ago.
So long ago that there were no schools and
no teachers. Children lived in caves with their parents. At that time
there were no tigers or
elephants in Pambupatti
forest. There were only reptiles.
The old man narrates
the story.

They all left the forest with their heavy hearts. But they had to follow the orders of Makara, the Leader of the Reptiles.

But their happiness didn’t last long. Soon the odds started happening.
There were bad smells of the dead bodies in the water. Turtles used to eat them up.
Rats became bold because there was no snake to swallow them up.
Ants started moving here and there. Sometimes an army of ants marched over their bodies.
Life became unbearable for them in the absence of these animals.
