Story of Little Boy

Father Rebello sat in his investigation, his immense mass 

filling the ample rotating seat. 'Wash, wash', 

went his pen as he composed. Tick-tock went the 

clock over the bookshelf. Something else, the room 

was tranquil. The windows were closed against 

the chill mountain air. The blinds were drawn. 

On the cover beneath lay Father's pooch, Raja. In 

the daytime, Raja acted bone-lethargic. Indeed, even his 

suppers must be pushed directly in front of him or 

he wouldn't eat. Be that as it may, around evening time a change came over 

him. In the event that the breeze to such an extent as blended Father's 

hook, Raja let out a profound snarl. 

The clock had quite recently struck ten when Father 

marked the remainder of the papers. As he put down his 

pen, he heard a low thunder. "Grrr, grr " 

"Calm," said Father and Raja put his head between 

his paws. Quiet. 

And afterward Father heard a delicate footfall. A few 

more. . . Gradually they came up the staircase and 

on to the arrival where they halted. Raja was 

yelping angrily as Father strolled to the entryway 

what's more, tossed it open. "Who is there?" he called. In 

the dim he could simply make out a little shape.

"Come in," he said so anyone might hear and by and by the light 

shone on the substance of Norbu, the new Tibetan kid 

from Standard III. 

Norbu shuddered marginally as Father Rebello drove 

him into the examination. He sat crouched in one corner 

of a seat, his panicked eyes shooting about the 

room. Father Rebello held up so the crashing 

of the kid's heart had sufficient energy to ease. Finally 

he spoke, "What is it, Norbu? Let me know," 

Norbu attempted, yet the words wouldn't come. He 

ignored his tongue his lips once, twice, three 

times, before he discovered his little voice. 

"Father," he stated, "I can light some joss-sticks 

in house of prayer each night? Truly? You wouldn't fret?" 

Father was shocked. "Obviously, Norbu," 

he answered. "Be that as it may, why?" 

"Since to reveal to God I am here." 

Norbu talked without severity, yet on Father's 

ears the words fell cruelly. He put an arm round 

the young men's shoulders. "Why child, what makes you 

think God has overlooked you?" 

In any case, Norbu would not state much else, and 

Father did not have any desire to squeeze him, for as of now the 

kid's face had gone extremely white. They had a container 

of hot drain together. Afterward, Father took a light, 

furthermore, saw Norbu to his quarters, mostly down 

the slope. 

Norbu came each day, specifically in the wake of night 

think about, while whatever is left of the young men went tearing,
down to the eating lobby. He stole past Father's 

room and entered the house of prayer. What's more, five minutes 

afterward, Father Rebello could notice the joss-sticks. 

Norbu appeared to be content, however Father realized that 

this was not the end. 

The downpours had traveled every which way early that year. 

Harvest time nightfall trailed over the land, pink and 

dabbed with stray white mists. Father Rebello 

adored the nighttimes—a period when he could take 

his brain off the everyday issues of running 

the school. He never missed his night walk, 

beginning from the school over the slope, down 

into the valley and up again to the little glade 

that disregarded a running stream. Here Father 

would sit and watch the sun sink to rest among 

the pines. 

One day Father Rebello came later than regular. 

As he crisscrossed up the way to the highest point of the 

glade, something got his attention. A blue-clad 

arm, sticking out from behind a shrub. Somebody 

from the school. In uniform. Father Rebello 

enlivened his pace, for he knew the glade was 

outside the field of play at that hour. "Who's there?" he 

said forcefully, drawing level with the figure behind 

the bramble. And afterward he saw the startled face 

of Norbu. In one hand the kid grasped a pencil, 

in the other, a pile of papers. He had been 

drawing the substance of a young lady, a Tibetan young lady, and her 

similarity to Norbu was remarkable to the point that Father, 
regained some composure. 

"I never knew you could draw so well," 

he said. "Also, who is this young lady? Your sister?" 

Norbu gestured. Father sat down on the grass 

next to him, thankful for the tears that shone in 

the kid's eyes, for they implied that his resistances 

were down and he would be prepared to talk. 

Father Rebello paused. Before long, the kid wiped his 

confront and dove into his story. 

"I seven years of age when Chinese come to 

Tibet. And still, at the end of the day I have no father, no mother. 

My grandma she take me and my sister and 

rushed to India. We abandon our everything, house and 

garments and goats. My sister and I little. Can't 

walk much. Grandma old. Can't convey. By one means or another 

we drag alongside the rest. Many 

Tibetans, all coming to India." 

Norbu took a full breath. "Some time later, 

one night Grandma rest and never get 

up My sister and I go ahead with the group. 

Numerous moons after, we discover us in an expansive house. 

Heaps of different Tibetans there as well and a few people 

we don't have the foggiest idea. They give us little white dishes 

to eat porridge. 

"One day they reveal to us we go to class. Next 

morning two transports come. I put in one with young men. 

My sister put in the other with young ladies. They—they 

take her away. I not seen her once more." 

There was a long hush. At that point Father talked,

tenderly, 'Norbu, you need to search for your sister, 

don't you?" 

Norbu's eyes met his and he stated, "Yes." 

"All things considered, do you mind on the off chance that we do it together? 

I could make enquiries through our central goal. 

Maybe your sister is in one of our schools. 

If not, different missions will help. Obviously, it will 

require some serious energy 

Yet, Father Rebello never entirely completed what 

he was stating. For, rising like a little hurricane, 

Norbu had flung two little arms round his neck. 

What's more, Father held him tight, while over the clean 

of dark colored hair he watched the last tad of the 

sun sink gently to rest.
