I’ve to take two
pills before my breakfast for a couple of weeks to get over my sickness. So, i took
those pills with a sip of water and was waiting for my turn in the dining
table. Had the breakfast and as there was not much on T.V, I just sat on the
cot thinking about nothing...
My college leave
lasts until today evening but I’m not sure if I could go.
I think it was
about 1o’ clock or something when my mom called me and my brother Shibili and
wanted to go check out our well and notice if there is anything dead in the
water. Both my dad and mom need spec to get a sharp site of anything, so I’m
the man at this point of time. We got near the well with much powerful
understanding that “we are needy too…”
I removed the net
covering of the well and took a glance and made sure there is nothing dead in
the water except some oily surface which reflects the sun rays entering the
well and a log floating on the water. I opened the tap outside the well and
took some water out and smelled it with my genius nose. All clear! I came about
the answer of a scientist Shinos.
But my mom had got
there by the time to make sure our result is true. She didn’t do anything
miraculous except just shaking the pipe which was attached to the motor which
unfortunately I forgot to do. “Just an old log mom nothing else…” she kept
hearing my words without any response as long as she made her probe continue.
“Oh my…..just a
log you…is that just a log? “ This is what I would get if I ever send you to do
anything... She began to say things to me.
Yeah! There was a dead Cobra in
the water which gave its look as a log to me……
Everybody came to
the place. I took it out and threw away. What a nasty smell! I searched for its
head but it was dissolved in the water some days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What!! So was I
taking all those pills this morning with dead cobrated water to
my empty stomach? A million questions came to my mind about last days. We got
Zamzam water from our neighbours and everybody took it in.
Now what? Have to
clean the well and make it as a new one.
Today’s message: Never misunderstand a Cobra as a
log
It's head dissolved?? Nasty! Um so are you guys all going to get sick? How did the cobra get in there? Eeeh :(
ReplyDeletecan not predict yet...let's see what happens. we are sure the Zamzam water would help us. It had helped a lot of people before
Deletewell, it must have gone down the well through the hole through which the motor pipe has been fixed... you know snakes are usual visitor in our fields and stuff, but in our well, i think it's first. Damn it!!!
