Once upon a time, a boy named Shivam was walking on the road. He was asked by his mother to bring rice and vegetables from the market. Mother had said that if she did not come home within an hour, he would be scolded. Shivam took a long time due to the excessive crowding in the market. The mother had to cook for some of the guests coming home, grocery items were over in the house. When Shivam was going towards the house after doing all the work, he saw that a helpless looking dog was moaning along the road. Upon getting closer to him, Shivam found that someone had run a car over his leg, which severely injured his leg. There was a lot of bleeding from his leg and perhaps his pain was unbearable. Shivam, without worrying about time, immediately bought bandages and medicine from a nearby medicine shop. He called his friend Shivani so that she could help a little bit. Shivani’s house was nearby and there was a dog at Shivani’s house as well, so she had some knowledge about dogs. Shivani brought the dogs’ food and some clothes from her house. Shivani and Shivam put a bandage on that dog’s feet first and then put him on some clothes. The dog could have gotten sick from sitting outside due to the cold. The dogs’ food that Shivani brought was fed to that dog and then she also fed him water. After this he called the animal care organisation, they came and praised Shivam and Shivani very much. They took the dog safely with them. While doing all this, the two to three hours passed and Mother was waiting for Shivam at home for so long. Shivam hurried home and saw that all the guests were eating delicious food. What happened is that Shivam’s mother called at Shivani’s home, then she came to know about the noble work her son was doing. Shivani’s mother brought items to Shivam’s house and the two together cooked food for the guests. Hearing about all this, Shivam was left shocked but he was happy for the cause that he helped a homeless animal and his mother’s work was also sorted out without any obstruction.
