Stories and all! - Village boy and the city boy

There once was a village boy happy playing with his friends in the fields. They would run through the fields, up the hill, climb trees and never tire. They laughed and played all through the day. They tied strings to the tail of dragonflies and shoo the rabbits from their holes. They sat on buffaloes as they swam in the village pond and ran with fans made of leaves and shoots of trees. Climbing on a tree they never were bored and always had some fruit or the other to eat.

One day his father was going to city on an errand and asked him to come along. Reluctantly he left. He slept en route. When he woke up he was in the city. He saw buses, autos and cars in large numbers. The clothes that people wore here made him ashamed of his clothing. There were huge malls and buildings with multicoloured lights. He was floored. He couldn’t take in all with his two little eyes. The smell of food on the street was so good. His father purchased him ‘pav’ (Indian burger made with Indian bread) and it was so delicious. At night they completed their work and took a bus towards their village.
