The Snowy Mountains
A long time ago on the cold streets of Kashmir, everyone was wearing sweaters, jackets, coats, etc. It was the harshest winter water would freeze in a few minutes if left outside. There was this hustling sound of the blowing wind was echoing. Everyone was rushing to the food stalls for fresh, warm food. The chilly and crisp weather was somewhat overcome by the hot soup that people were slurping down. Thick, sparkling snow was falling but soon it got all unsullied by cars and people. Even though people were lighting bonfires, it was still a harsh winter. The electricity was not good either as the blistery winds and the frost snow were messing with the wires and cables.
While all of this was happening, Rohit was sitting in his room and watching television which was sort of working. He was in thick clothing as the heaters were not working. Rohit was a 10-year-old boy who lived in a small house near the mall. He enjoyed sports as there was not much to do at home. His mother was an artist and his father was a scientist who worked in another country. Most of the time his parents were not home so he lived with his grandmother. Every day, he went to school and after returning he went to his tuition classes. On weekends, he also went to an art class. He was a very smart and kind boy. He would often help others. He normally helped his grandmother with the chores. His grandmother was very pleased with him and would often have delicious meals and sugarplums for him.
When he used to be free, one thought always came to his mind- What’s there up in the mountains? Every day he woke up he saw the snow-white mountains from his window. He always wondered if it was so biting cold on the plain, then how harsh would it be above? He always wanted to find out for himself by climbing the mountains someday. Well, right now he was stuck doing chores in his house.
The problem was, how would he get up? His elderly grandmother would certainly not allow him to go on such a dangerous expedition. On the other hand, his thirty-ish mother would be too worried for him to go alone.
One day, his grandmother fell sick and his mother and father immediately had to get to his house. They found out that his grandmother had a severe fever and cold. His parents had to take her to the hospital. Rohit would be left alone at home so, his mother hired Mr. Ram to take care of him for a month. This was a dream come true for Rohit! Mr. Ram was a well-experienced mountain climber! Rohit begged him to go on an expedition to the snowy mountains as Mr. Ram had been there many times. Mr. Ram merrily agreed to this and got all sorts of climbing gear. The next day, they set off on their journey. They faced many hardships but, in a few days, they were on the very top! Blistering snow was falling everywhere, and freezing wind was blowing about. The condition was frosty but there was still a small village with some villagers living. They were friendly and welcoming. Of course, they were friends with Mr. Ram and they were kind to Rohit. This was it- Rohit’s dream had come true.
