Friendship Kids Indigenous

               it is the story of last year it was my first year of teaching in schools. As well as it was my first year of teaching also. I’ve joined it on 10th June and I was so nervous on that day. I am an introvert so I really don’t know how to communicate with anyone. But I am very good at communicating with children. Even now also I don’t talk very much with anyone. But I really appreciate the staff who figure it out and  made me comfortable by cracking some jokes. And I was so comfortable that my day went like butter, I was so relaxed after that add I didn't feel nervous again. 

             the character of my story also from these cool group name of the characters Mr Denial and another one is Mr Rajesh . Mr. Rajesh is an interesting character in my story, in his life he's playing several characters. That is make him very hard to understand him because if you're thinking of him. It makes you feel like is this kind of person can exist. Or even at least it can put you into circumstances where you will feel like how could it possible. Well, in school he plays the role of a teacher, but outside the school he plays several roles like,; tutor , Businessman Baker , bird breeder and manufacturer. If I tell anyone about him , Then I get Obvious reply that he’s faking to you. But I have seen all these things By my own eyes, so I know that Everything Which is mentioned by me is totally correct for him. 

            It’s obvious that if someone is doing so many things, it means …..he's having Or can say earning lots of money too. And after doing this much of hard work, he worth it. He's a bird breeder but how does he come to this point is just by an accident . Just few years back when one day, he was playing in his lawn with his child, suddenly a bird ; an injured bird grabbed the attention of his child. And there it all began , his child who was about 5 or 6 years old, he took the bird and start working for its cure. And to make his child happy Mr. Rajesh also worked with him . He searched on the Internet as well as he reached to his friends. And after curing that bird the bird didn’t left them. He remains with them, and he motivated him to have much more number of birds.

           Mr. Rajesh, he found out that there are several things which can be learn about the birds and other animals. He found out so many amazing things and relief from His freaking tired life. After that , he started working in the field of birds. He searched about different kinds of bird like Finch, African parrots,… etc. Honestly, I can’t even name those birds because, I don’t have idea about that. But he's having good collection of birds I’m sure at that. He always used to show me pictures of his birds, how they're growing, how they are laying eggs and all.

            Now let's move to the second character of my story, that is Mr Daniel. He’s a really genius guy who is having so much knowledge about everything . But, all these knowledge is just a bookies knowledge. So sometimes it feels like he’s a bookies parrot. Whenever you ask something from him, and you will find that he start chatting all about that thing in different ways. Even sometimes, it feels like how someone can bear him, he's a chatterbox. Just like the first character, he has also Something interesting in him. He has bin worked for so many posts in different schools. He has been teacher, he has been principal, then he become principal of an college ; Inter college probably and then he comes again as a teacher to our school. So his life is kind of a circle where he started at the same point. Apart from that He’s also having a great knowledge over different religions. Well, he's a Persian guy Who came to our country when they were brutally killed by The Muslims. He explains several time that how they had been killed in their own country by the Muslims, when they attacked country. Well I don’t condemn any kind of act of religion, honestly I don’t believe in any religion. But listening to him is an interesting thing. His explanation is great , with a great expressions. 

         Mr Daniel, he has a great knowledge regarding dog breeding. He knows so many different species of dogs and how they breed. He has a very big house add in that house he has a stable for his horse. Hi has a dog and a cat as his pets. So somehow these both characters are related with each other. But their knowledge are not in the same field . sometimes, they share their knowledge of Pets with each other regarding different kinds of breeding. And that’s how they are so close friend together .

         As I told you, it is the story of last year. It was the time of December. Mr. Rajesh he has to go for some work in nearby town, so he thought to give the birds to Mr. Daniel so that someone will be there to take care of them. Well , I can’t say it’s a good decision or bad. Because he needs to give the birds to someone to take care of. As Mr. Daniel has the knowledge of rearing animals. it’s not bad idea to leave their birds with Mr Daniel. So he did it. He left his birds to his home. And Mr Daniel he cannot deny him as he was the good friend of him, so it’s not possible for him to deny his friend. Well , Mr Rajesh who's so careful about his birds, so he gave a paper on which he has written all the instruction how to feed the birds , how to give them meal , how to give them water and medicines too. All these things are written on that paper.

            But we all know that reading something add practicing something have the different meanings. Both things are to be achieved. But Mr Rajesh had to do that, as if not for his friend but for those birds who are going to be with him for next few days . At very first it seems easy to him , but it didn't . The first instruction was to feed the birds after each three hour. And that is also some different things at different period of time. Very first, he boiled rice for the birds and eventually he cooked the rice very well. But the problem arose when It come to know that the rice was about to boil partially and now he had cooked it totally. But he thought that what does it matter if I serve the birds fully cooked rice. And he served the birds those rice. Guess, what happened the birds didn't bothered to eat that totally cooked rice. So Mr Daniel has to cook another rice until it partially boiled. And then he come to know that the birds don't eat very soft things easily.

         Now it was the turn to feed them medicine. The instruction was written in the paper that he needs to put one-one drop of medicine in each bowl of water. And he did it same. The problem arose when it was the time of night, Mr Rajesh has a feeder system in his house which continuously fills itself automatically. So no one else is needed to fill it again and again. But Mr. Rajesh had not such kind of thing, so he need to wake up in middle night to feed the birds.

           It was the time of December and it was cold. Mr. Daniel he needed to do something so that the birds didn't catch cold. At very first he tried to cover it up with cartoons. But as he awake in the morning, he found that the cover was almost removed by the air. Only a pinch of cover was attended to cage which had holded the whole cartoons. And it’s the only thing, who kept the birds alive in his balcony. But that could not help them forever. Mr. Daniel decided to cover up the whole balcony in the evening by the plastic wrap. I must say it was a tough decision because, he was living on fourth floor and covering up the balcony at that point was difficult.

             But somehow he managed and covered the whole balcony next day. And to warm them up he also put two filament bulbs of 100W. I must say it was a best decision to warm up the environment around the birds. Next day, he thought of making a box made up of cartoon and cover it up with silver foil and put a filament bulb inside it, but as he put bulb in and turn on the switch….after few minutes the cartoon caught fire. You can imagine, what misery could had happened if he had put those birds in that cartoon. But thank god it hadn’t happened.

             Next day Mr. Rajesh arrived from his work and directly went to his friend’s home to check his birds and to get them back with him. As he knocked the door, Mr. Robin’s wife opened the door and as she saw Mr. Rajesh. She welcomed him and had a breath of relief with Mr. Daniel . She was also working hard to full fill the birds need. Apart from their hard work, she was afraid of any misery to those birds. If something had happened to them, it would have impacted on their relationship. Well she was very much sure that they can rear the birds as they were rearing some dogs. But as it was their first encounter to birds, they were very nervous and afraid. But now it all was about to end. So she was happy. Mr. Rajesh had some talk to Mr. Daniel in his room and than he get out of the house and as Mrs. Daniel saw this, her face got pale and the happiness gone somewhere. But what could she do. She could not ask him to take the birds back as it would seems inappropriate an rude.

  She turned back and started working for their dinner. But eventually after sometime, again someone knocked the door and she opened it. It was Mr. Rajesh again . He went to get a new cage , which was fully protective for the birds as well as he has modified it for the purpose of winter so that the birds can stay safe. At last he took the birds and left their home, Mr. And Mrs. Daniel took a breath of relief.
