Rumki and a piece of cloud

Published : Saturday, 7 September, 2024 at 12:00 AM  Count : 2415
Rumki is reading a story book. She is smiling. Because the book she is reading at the moment has a girl whose name is also Rumki, named after her. Suddenly, the power went off.

Oh how hot! Rumki takes a chair and sits near the window. No, there is not even a drop of air.

Rumki looks at the sky. Sparkling sky White clouds are floating. No sign of rain.
Oh, if it rained!

How long it does not rain!

Rumki's rain is very dear. Who does not want to take a bath in the rain?

If it rains now, she will definitely get wet.

She will go to the roof holding her mother's hand. Mother will get wet with her. Mother will hum and sing. How fun it will be!

What are you doing Rumki? 

Who? Rumki looks around, can't see anyone.

Here I am. Look up a little.

Rumki looks at the sky through the window. She sees a cloud.

What do you think Rumki?

Who speaks? 

I am cloud.

Oh, you!  I don't talk to you.

Why are you stuck?

Won't you be upset? You sit like a cloud all day long.You don't care about making it rain.

Ha ha ha… The cloud laughed out loud.

Why are you laughing? Did I say anything about laughter?

Don't you see how hot! School closed. Education is not happening 

Hmm, I understand that. What is happening to you in school? You are not learning anything.

Who said that I am not learning anything? That day Rafiq sir said that rain is very important. If there is no rain, the crops are not good. If the crop is not good, there is a lack of food.

And Sir also said that this time mangoes jackfruits have also decreased due to lack of rain.

So?

Yes. I am very sad to hear this. Do you understand the cloud?

Why upset? The cloud wants to know. 

Hey mango is my favorite fruit. How can I eat if mango is less?

So Rumki is a disaster.

Cloud, it is very difficult in the heat. Give the rain without talking so much.

You are not allowed to rain.

Why? What did we do again?

You are human because of your heat. So this is your punishment.

Do not say what! What we did!

You are building houses by cutting trees. You are building factories without planning, and you are not throwing the garbage in the specified place. Therefore, the temperature is increasing in the air. It is not raining.

Oh yes Rafiq sir said where there are more trees there is more rain. Rafiq sir is absolutely right. You know that trees take water from the ground with the help of leaves and spread it in the air. That's why the air is cold. Yes, he said that too.

Do you know what the big problem is with your people? Cloud asks.

I don't know. But I understand that you are very angry with people.

The big problem of people is that they read the words of the book and keep it in the book.

How is that? Rumki is surprised.

You people know the importance of trees but don't plant trees.

These are the reasons why I am annoyed with people. They increase the temperature in the air and they are the ones who gasp for air.

So cloud you are right. I will plant the tree today and tell my friends too.

Well, if you plant trees.

I promise I won't be a cloud anymore. It'll just rain.

Goodbye Rumki. 

Goodbye.

When cloud leaves, Rumki closes the book and goes to her father. So her father is at home on Friday.

Dad, let's go to the nursery.

Why, Rumki?

I will buy trees. I will plant trees. 

Really? 

Yes, father. Planting trees will bring rain.

Ok let's go. Today our tree planting campaign will continue all day.

In the afternoon, Rumki and his father are planting trees. Rumki will go to school and tell her friends to plant trees. And in school, friends must make a garden together.

Rumki looks at the sky with a smile. She was surprised to see that the sky was dark. On the other hand, mother is calling.

Rumki, come home. It will rain.

I will go to the roof. I will get wet in the rain.
