Nash & Nimi

Nash: Come Nimi. Hold my hand and get up. Hey! Look, your hand - it's bleeding.

Nimi: Yes Nash!  It hurts, but it's just a small bruise. Here. Tie this hankie on it.

Nash: Nimi, Nimi! Look soon! That girl Tara - who pushed you down. She is running away as fast as she can!

Nimi: It's okay Nash. Forget it! Come on. Let's go home.

Nash: Nimi, I'm definitely going to tell dad about Tara. He, won't let her get away that easily.

Nimi: Rickshaw-man. Stop near that apartment please.

Nash: Nimi. That's Tara's house. Why do we have to go there now? 

(Nimi remained silent. The Rickshaw stopped in front of Tara's house and seeing it Tara's mother comes out to receive them)

(Peeping through the window, Tara sees Nash and Nimi )

Tara : (thinks) Oh no! I am dead duck today! I am sure, Nimi has come to complain about me to mom!.

Tara's Mother: Hey, Nash and Nimi! what a surprise?! Come in!.

Nimi: Aunty I found Tara's pen in the play ground. She must have dropped it there on her way home. We just stepped in to give it to her.

Tara's Mother: Thanks Nimi. That was sweet of you.

Tara: (thinks) What a nice girl she is!  I'm feeling lousy that I hurt a sweet person like her!.

(Tara came running out and gave Nimi a hug)

Tara: Nimi, I am sorry for pushing you down in school today. I felt jealous that you won the first prize in the Singing Competition. That's why I did that. Forgive me Nimi. I'm really sorry.

Nimi: It's okay Tara. The Lord Himself has forgiven you. Remember in future, we should not do evil to anyone.

Tara: I promise you Nimi. I will not harm anyone again. I will only do good to others.
