Small deeds of kindness

It was a hot summer sunday afternoon'. Mamma and Pappa were having the afternoon nap. Varun and Vardini six year old twins  were playing in their room.They feltbored playing inside. 

   'I am goingto the garden with my ball and bat. 'Said Varun ' Will you join me' he asked 'Oh it is so borng. You don't  allow me to bat. Instead I will bring my new storybook and read it for you .'

    'Crazy  Stop thinking you are Alice and  dreaming about  wonderland . Instead play with me  and you can improve your strength 'teased Varun. Don't  be so rude Varun  Ok I will play with You for sometime  . Later you have to listen to my story  '. Vardhini agreed.  You go   and  arrange the stumps to play I will go to the kitchen and get waterbottle for us. We may feel thirsty after playing. 

     Soon bothof them started playing under the shade of a mango tree in their garden   After some time Varun felt thirsty and asked for water. Wait Iam also thirsty. I will first drink and then give you. . said Vardhini  No I asked for water first. So saying he tried to snatch the bottle from Vardhini. But Vardhini also held firmly. and didn't easily give up. In their fight  both of them let the bottle down. Thecap was loose and water fell on the ground and made a puddle. Immediately a tiny bird from the branch of the mango tree  flew down and started drinking the water. 

   I think it is also thirsty like us. Said Varun . You are right. That is why wr have keep water inbowls in our house . It will help the birds ,squirrels. and other animals to quench their thirst. Said mamma.  She had been watching them for sometime.. Ok Mummy  I will go and get a bowl for this tinybird. I will see that it is filled with clean water every day Said Vardhini. 'Mummy give me some grains. I will feed it every day. Said Varun They both felt happy . Mummy was also happy to see them do a good deed  .
