Freedom submitted by Nitish of class 8

There was a boy named Ravi. He received a Lizard cage on his birthday. He was very happy to have this gift as it was his hobby to catch lots of lizard from the garden. A day later he hunted a beautiful lizard whom he used to feed mosquito. One day he decided to clean the cage so he took out the lizard. But, suddenly the lizard shaking its body and twisting its tail quickly ran away in the jungle. He chased the lizard and he almost caught it. But, unfortunately by mistake he stepped on it and killed the poor creature. From that day he was so sad and lonely and always kept on thinking about the pet. One day in his dream he saw himself as a lizard. In the ancient time Bharat muni rescued a deer. But he always thought about the animal. Even in the time of his death he could not leave the thought of the deer. That's why in his next life Bharat muni was born as a deer. Here, the same thing happened with Ravi who was so possessed and obsessed by the thought of his dead lizard that in his dream he saw himself as a lizard. However, it was a dreadful dream, a nightmare. He was being chased by a big animal. He was running and running. Finally when the animal got very close to him, he woke up with cold perspiration. The next day he realized that every living being need freedom. So, he broke the cage and promised himself that he would never do that same again.

  1. The story has a good moral. It shows that freedom is the basic nature of every living creature. All enjoy freedom. No one wants to be captivated. Cage is cage, be it made of gold or steel.
