 There was a precious little time.I had to do something because I could see the train which was coming towards me as a large snake.My one leg was in the rail track and  I struggled to  drag it towards my self  as  fast as I could.I felt that my cheeks were wet with hot tears.I remembered my mother's figure that I had seen only once in my life and closed my eyes.

I was born,two or three weeks ago,but i don't know the proper month or date.My Mother was bigger than I and I could suck her her breast and drink milk to feed my little belly,only for one or two days.One day,a little mischievous boy took me to his home.I screamed as loud as I could because I wanted to have the warmth of my loving mother.Later,I realized that my mother was no more.The child who took me this home,treated me very well.I first thought that his house is too like the wretched slum where I was born in.My heart leaped in fear,when I first saw his mother.She was very cruel to me.She warned the boy not to take me in to the house.But,he loved me a lot and always used to play with me,gradually,I could wipe away my loneliness.My friend,the mischievous boy,soon began to be my 'Master'.He called me,'puppy',what a beautiful name it was?I loved to sleep with my master,his bed was very comfortable.I again felt the warmth of my mother,by my master's breath.But,when his mother saw that I sleeping with her child,she beat me and chased me from his room.

                     Days passed,I spent my whole time with my master.One day,I heard his mother saying that her child didn't do any home work because of me.

"..Our child always plays with that dirty dog,I will chase it away.."

I really afraided to be alone,I had only this little boy's love."no,I can't be without you..please don't make me alone..',my innocent heart whispered.

                                    When my master went school,I used to hide my self under his bed.I didn't even come out for anything,as I was very much afraid of her.But,one day,the boy's mother searched for me when I was hiding myself under his bed.She dragged me out by my ear an d began to hit me by broom stick.I felt dizzy as she struck on my head.Then,carried me and put me in to the rail track.

                             I know,my master would search me every where and he would repent of my loss.rays of the sun badly fell on my body.I couldn't even move as my paws were badly injured by his beatings.

                   Another minute,my bones would be crushed and I would die on the rail track.Though I struggled to take my paw from the iron track,I really failed to do so.I put my last glance at the coming train and closed my eyes..............

             Suddenly,I felt a great warmth of a hand instead of rough devilish touch of the coming train.Yes..it was my master whom I used to love a lot.He took me in to his hands and hugged me with a lot of love and affection.I glanced at his merciful eyes for a while.At that time,i noticed that his eyes were also full of tears as mine.
