Ramu's wish
Ramu is a good student. He used to top his class in studies and also he is active in sports. He is good in sports too. His parents were proud of him. But one day, Ramu returned from school. Went to his room to freshen himself. But when he came out, he was dull. Now h is not talking with anyone. He used to think of something. His parents are worried.
ramu's father called a doctor to check his health. But doctor said no problem with the health. Parents enquired Ramu's friends. They said nothing happened in school too. But Ramu is dull. Parents didnt know what to do.
A family friend of theirs came to Ramu's house. He saw Ramu's condition and advised his parents to consult a psychologist. Ramu's father went near a doctor with his son. Doctor wanted to talk to Ramu alone. After some time, he called Ramu's father for discussion.
Doctor said near Ramu's room there was atree. Its branches spread to ramu's room also. All birds were coming to tree to eat its fruits. Ramu was happy by listening to their chirping. He used to feed them also. He used to share all his feelings with them. They used to chirp as if they have understood everything. But one day Ramu returned from school.
To his horror, the tree was cut down for road construction. His bird friends are nowhere to be seen. This affected his mind. He was missing the chirping of birds. Doctor said all this to father. Father thought of a plan to cure his son's problem.
He brought a tiny plant with him and told Ramu that he will plant it outside to his room. It will grow and become a tree. Its branches will spread to Ramu's room. Again he can meet his bird friends. Ramu was overjoyed with this idea. He took the responsibility of watering plant.
As Ramu grew up, plant also grew and became a large tree. Ramu's bird friends are coming to meet him once again. Ramu was happy. He planned to plant some more tree samples in and around the city so that his bird friends will not feel that they are homelesss. Now ramu and his bird friends are both happy,

excellent story - tells a lot about now-a-days cutting trees indiscriminately for road-widening, even when some places it is not absolutely necessary.I hope when Ramu becomes a minister or forest officer, he will make rules that trees must be removed with the roots (possible with big bull-dozers) and replanted in government land.
