Childhood Memory

A mini story:Govinda's Dilemma
Bijoy and Govinda wre reading in class VII in Baisinga Government M.E School.They were bosom friends.They always move together and share each other's tiff in,pens,pencils and books.Little way from school,there was a big garden called Bagicha Bari,owned by Prasana Panda.There are many mango trees,Jamun trees and palm trees in the garden.He used to shout loudly against all tress passers.Students of school were very afraid of him.In a Saturday afternoon ,Bijoy and Govinda planned to creep into BagichaBari and pluck Jamuns which are ripe looking violet reddish.They could not resist temptation.They thought Prasan Panda would be sleeping in his house after miday meal.He stays a little distance from the Bari.So two friends entered the Bari through a second entrane nearer to school. Bijoy being little smarter than Govinda climbed up the Jamun tree and shaked the tree branches and Jamuns poured in.Goviinda collected them most happily in his Gamcha(a towel like).To their bad luck.Prasan panda anticipating students will be coming to Bagicha in secold half ,as school remains closed in second half. From a distance oberved that Jamun tree is swaying violently.In a very loud voice abused who the hell there.To day I will not leave you and take you to Police station.When Bijoy saw him coming angrily towards them,he immediately jumped from tree and told Govinda to runway.So both of then ran away taking as much jamunds they could collect.In the mean time,Gobinda swallwed a jamun totally along with its seed.He asked Bijoy what will happen.Bijoy told,let us run as quickly as possible and we will think about this at night.Prasan panda could not run and returned back heaping all nasty abuses on them.Bijoy slept nicely,but Govind couldnot thinking about the consequence.
In the night he brought his science book read abut germination in biology section. Next morning,they went to school.But Govinda was looking very sad.He asked the teacher how long it will take for a seed to germinate and take a tree shape. Teacher told about seven days.He became very worried if the seed grows into a tree in his stomach and he will die.At night Bijoy enquired about his friend's misery.After lot of hesitation he told him the story and he will die when tree will be big in his stomach.On hearing the funny story, to make situation grave,he said,yes it may happen.On hearing his friend,he became more melancholy started crying loudly.Other friends gathered aroud Govind.Hotted arguements took place among students.Head master passng the corridor asked the students about the commotion.After hearing the story he loudly.and explained to Gobinda not to worry at all,because jamun seed has passed out away through stool.After hearing from head master,he stopped crying.Now both are grown up.still when,they meet,they laughboisterously recalling the event.
