KALUWA AND DALE

Once upon a time there was a village called Rampur. The village was facing a famine; it was dry as there was scarcity of water since months. There was no water to grow crops; there was no water for people to live. Thus, everyone left the village and shifted to nearby villages. Otherwise Rampur was once known as the most beautiful village. A village of dreams, it had strong brown hills, beautiful river flowing across it and greenery all over. It was a place like heaven but due to the famine it had become like hell.

But be it heaven or hell there are always couples everywhere. Even here there was a couple, a male crow Kaluwa and a female crow named dale. Kaluwa had got her to Rampur as when he had come here months back he was astonished looking at the place and had decided that he would get his first date to Rampur and so he brought her here. But then when he reached here he was shocked to see the place it didn’t look the same it was totally deserted and was wondering what to do. He couldn’t even tell Dale lets go to another place. He was sad for a while but then took a positive approach to it. He thought that this was a good place for their date as there was no one to disturb them and they could be together.

Things were going well it was a sunny day and it was extremely hot. Kaluwa and Dale were enjoying the date when Dale said that she was extremely thirsty and needed water to drink. She said it was the matter of life and death. Kaluwa didn’t know what to do as there was no water around in Rampur and he couldn’t even say no to Dale as it was their first date and she was asking only for water.
Kaluwa searched the whole of Rampur but he couldn’t find water anywhere. Just then when he was getting upset and coming back to Dale he saw a small jar which was half filled with water. He tried tasting the water to see if it is pure and fit to give dale to drink but he couldn’t. He was all upset and thinking what to do to get the water up to the brim for Dale to drink. Then he got an idea of throwing something in the water so that the water level rises.

He saw pebbles all around but he wanted to put something in the jar that was as pure as his love. When he was searching around the place he saw a pearl necklace and he thought why not break the necklace and put the pearls in the jar and what can be more pure than pearls. He put all of them in the jar and then the water came up to the brim that they could drink it.
Then Kaluwa and Dale drank the water and Dale fell all the more in love with him.
