I’ll Help You

Memna was a soft, white little lamb. One day, he wanted to drink some water, so he went to the nearby pond. Suddenly, Jabir, the big, bad wolf, came along.

Jabir: What are you doing, Memna?

Memna: I’m very thirsty. I’m drinking water.

Jabir: This is my pond and my water. You’re drinking my water.

Memna: No, it’s everybody’s pond and everybody’s water.

Jabir: No, no! It’s all mine. I’ll punish you for drinking from my pond. I’ll come back to eat you in the evening.

Poor Memna felt very sad and frightened. He was sitting on the doorstep of his house and crying softly. The fluffy, black cat, Mano, passed by.

Mano: Why are you crying, Memna?

Memna: The big, bad wolf is angry with me. He’s coming to eat me in the evening.

Mano: Don’t worry. I’ll help you.

Mano went inside and sat comfortably on the chair.

Memna kept on crying. The fat, brown dog, Moti, passed by.

Moti: Why are you crying, Memna?

Memna: The big, bad wolf is angry with me. He’ll come to eat me in the evening. Don’t be upset. I’ll help you.

Moti went inside and quietly hid behind a chair.

Memna was still crying. Kumet, the big red horse, passed by.

Moti: Why are you crying, Memna?

Memna: The big, bad wolf is angry with me. He’ll come to eat me in the evening.

Moti: Don’t be upset. I’ll help you.

He went inside and quietly hid behind a chair. Memna was still crying. Kumet, the big red horse, passed by.

Kumet: Why are you crying, Memna?

Memna: The big, bad wolf is coming to eat me in the evening.

Kumet: Don’t cry. I’ll help you.

He went and calmly stood near the pond.

In the evening, the wolf came to Memna’s house.

Jabir: Ha! Ha! Ha! Where are you, Memna? I’ve come to eat you.

Jabir went past the chair, and Mano scratched his face badly. He ran to the door, and Moti bit him sharply in the ear. He quickly ran outside, but Kumet gave him a great big kick, and the wolf fell into the pond and drowned.

Memna came out smilingly behind the bushes.

Memna: Thank you, Mano, Moti, and Kumet Thank you all very much.

Mano: My pleasure.

Moti: You are welcome.

Kumet: That’s all right.

So Memna, Mano, Moti, and Kumet all lived happily ever after and drank from the pond whenever they were thirsty.
