Hiwi, the Naughty

Once upon a time, there lived a little boy, named Hiwi. He lived with his parents in a small town. He went to school in bus. He did not have friends at all. He was so hard and tough, that everyone hated him. He always troubled others and made them cry. His parents were very much worried about him.

One day, his teacher told the class students that they are supposed to do a project (real time project – project based on rescue of living things) for which the best student will be selected and given a prize. All the students, except Hiwi, were so happy and started preparing for the project, hoping they get the prize. Hiwi reached home sadly. He was so sad because he did not have any real time experience on rescuing anyone or anything in his life time. So he will not be able to submit a project on the same. He seemed to be worried about it.

Days passed by and the due date for project was nearing. Hiwi was nearly in a critical situation not knowing what to prepare for his project. He was not in a mood to play with his little puppy also. He left home and went to a pond, very near to the railway station.

While he was thinking about the project, he heard someone screaming. He immediately went the way following the sound. It lead him to the railway station where he saw an elephant struck in the rail track and it could not life its leg from it. Hiwi was shocked to see this and did not know what to do. He also saw a train coming fast in the same track. Suddenly he got an idea and immediately removed his red shirt which he was wearing and tied in a long stick. He waived the red shirt high so that the train engine driver could see it. The stick was too thick and heavy, that he could not waive it continuously. But Hiwi tried his level best. The engine driver saw this and he immediately stopped the train. Out of pain, Hiwi fell down on the track. People came running to the spot and saw the elephant and Hiwi. Immediately they released the elephant from the track with the help of the railway people and Hiwi was also taken to the hospital.

The Government and the forest department appreciated Hiwi for saving the elephant. Everyone praised Hiwi for his bravery. Hiwi shared his real time experience with all. His project was selected as the best project and he was given the prize. Not only he got the prize, but the Government also rewarded him for saving the elephant and for his bravery. From that day onwards, Hiwi changed his attitude and started helping others.
