Story part 2

 

Once upon a time, in a village, there lived a boy named Chintu. He was about eight years old, just like you. He loved animals, just like you do. He would talk to them and play with them. He was friends with the calf, played with the goat kids, and even had long conversations with the parrots. He would climb the jamun tree, pluck the ripe fruits, and eat them while sharing some with his friends, the sparrows.

"One day, he befriended a mouse. He would feed the mouse nuts and seeds, and the mouse would follow him everywhere. Within a few days, the mouse grew fond of Chintu and would come to him, look into his eyes lovingly, and listen intently to what he said. Chintu named the mouse 'Raju'.

"One day, while Chintu was studying a world map, pointing out different countries, Raju the mouse sat beside him, listening attentively like a schoolboy.
