We loved visiting our grandparents during our summer
vacations as they pampered us to the core. During story time there was only one
story we loved hearing again and again.
And this was grandma’s favourite story too. But wait it was
not a story, it was something that happened to her during his childhood.
In the village where they resided grandma and grandpa were
both lived in the same village in their childhood and were buddies. But the older children in the village
were bullies and used to wait near the big banyan tree for little children to
come to the swings so they could bully them and extort goodies if they had any.
Little grandma was a rebel even then while grandpa was a
timid boy. That afternoon Grandma had sweetmeats
made by her mom which she was carrying for her best friend – our grandpa. But she
was bullied into giving it to the older boy who was waiting near the
corner.
She was livid with rage and flung a stone at the boys from
afar. But the stone found its mark and hit the same bully on the head and he
began to bleed. All the children panicked and so did little grandma.
Afraid she ran and ran away from their village and soon was
lost. It was evening and it was growing dark. She was afraid and began crying
but soon great grandpa along with the others found her.
No one scolded her instead they all pampered her and this
made grandma happy.
And after that no one bullied grand ma and whoever happened
to be with her as they were afraid of her.

That's an interesting story:) We need to be brave & stand up to bullies and then they won't dare to bully us!
Congrats for your WOW badge, Fatima!
thanks anita
Fatima N, overwhelmed by your heart-warming experience of the reunion. The lucid but touching style you have adopted while recounting the event with minute details makes the piece all the more appealing. Words poured out straight from your heart. All the best for your group. Cherish the bond for the rest of your life, it will prove an asset and will stand you in good stead. My childhood too is replete with interesting experiences and anecdotes but am not as lucky to have anybody with me who could value them. All my school friends have gone into oblivion. Looking forward to read your childhood experience.
