Once in a small Village in Himachal Pradesh, lived a boy named Shyamu. He was very mischievous and always created some or the other problems for the villagers. The villagers were totally sick of his activities as sometimes he used to loosen up the cattle out of the farm, break water-pots of village women and even burn crackers in front of cattle.
One night the villagers heard a loud noise popping out from the nearby forest. All the villagers thought it to be another prank by Shyamu to scare them. The next day the village head asked Shyamu that why he was making loud noises in the midnight on the streets of village. Shyamu refused that he didn’t do anything. Finally after a couple of arguments he was warned by the villagers for not playing such a prank. But, that night the villagers again heard that weird noise and it became frequent every night. At the end of the day, Shyamu was held responsible for all this.
Then one fine day, Shyamu went to his cousin’s place for few days. And that night they again heard those scary noises. The next day the village head collected a few people and went to Shyamu’s house for taking an action against him. After reaching his place, they found that Shyamu was not in the village since the previous morning. This scared the village head he thought that Shyamu was right it was some ghost which was making these noises. The news spread like fire in the village. The very next day a small boy was found missing from the village. The villagers gathered and went towards the forest to search for the boy. On entering the forest, they found the boy’s clothes. This indeed scared the villagers and they did not try to go further for searching the boy. Now, there was a rumor spread in the village that there is a ghost who lives in the forest, he roams on the streets of the village for hunting kids.
After a few days, Shyamu returned his village along with his cousins. He was told about all the happenings taking place in the village by his mother. Shyamu felt weird after listening this but, the same night he heard those noises and the very next day another boy was missing from the village. Now, this created a hassle among the villagers. The village head reported this to the police and they started their investigation. At, night two policemen were sent by the local police station in the forest to search for evidence. The next day they didn’t return. This created more fear within the area. This made Shyamu plan out an expedition for knowing the truth. He planned to go into the forest at late night with his cousins. After the clock tucked 12 at night, Shyamu left with his cousins for the forest. The scary noises started and they saw a small beam of light coming through the forest. They followed the direction of beam and crossed the lake. On going further, they saw a hut outside which the two missing boys and the two policemen were tied up. They looked around and saw a tape recorder with speaker. They came to know the secret of noises. Shyamu advanced towards the hut and peeped through the window. He found four men sleeping in the hut. Shyamu locked the door of the hut from outside to avoid their escape, while his cousins untied the policemen and the boys.
They planned to get these dacoits trapped. The policemen hurried at that moment, went back to the village and gathered a huge crowd for trapping the dacoits. As soon as the one of the dacoits woke up he found the door locked from outside. He woke up the other dacoits and they saw the village crowd coming towards them. They picked their guns and shot the lock and broke open the door. Now putting their guns on Shyamu’s head they demanded a safe escape, while all were stunned to see Shyamu in such a risk. The village head warned them to put down their guns else they will attack them but, one of the dacoits fired in the air and the villagers ran away from.
Meanwhile, the policemen were hiding in the nearby bushes. As soon as they turned for collecting their looted money which was placed in the cowshed, the policemen dodged them and took away their guns. Seeing this even Shyamu dodged the dacoit who had placed the gun on his head. The fourth dacoit was shot on his leg by one of the policemen. Meanwhile, the police jeep arrived along with the village head and other members. The police arrested the dacoits and put them in the vans. The village head praised Shyamu for his bravery and the police rewarded him with some cash since, these dacoits were the wanted criminals. The next day Shyamu was appraised in front of the whole village for his bravery.
Moral: Finally, a small boy teach that superstition is a hazard in life, it makes one coward and hopeless. One should always follow the truth and be bold enough to face it.
