Stories - Beauty of the sky
The school premises of Ramu and Somu is quiet busy with so many kids around as competition going on for drawing. Both Ramu and Somu stay in same colony and they are also participating along with all other friends.
The theme is “How beautiful is the sky!!”
Ramu won the price for his beautiful painting. His painting was kept on notice board. His painting was really wonderful with amazing colours of Dawn.
Somu is also a good painter but could not draw such a beautiful sky. While going back home, Somu asked Ramu “How could you draw such a wonderful painting”.
Ramu said “I saw it in real and I remembered while painting.”
Somu got surprised and said “Where did you see?”
Ramu said “From my balcony!”
Somu said “Are you joking. I always watch sky from balcony but never saw sky so beautiful.”
Ramu got surprised and said “That means, you never saw sky in the early hours!!! How sad it is?”
Somu felt sorry for not getting up early and able to see the “beautiful sky”. He was surprised to hear that in the early hours the sky looks so beautiful every day. He requested Ramu to wake him up next day early morning to see.
Next day in the early hours both Ramu and Somu got up early and took bath. They went up to terrace and saw the beauty of early morning. Somu was happy to see and realized what he was missing. He heard the sounds of birds chirping and the whispering cool breeze passing on and touching him gently. The trees were waving their branches and finally he could see the colour of dawn and the rising Sun. Then he realized how Ramu could draw such a beautiful painting.
He felt fresh and calm and while coming down he saw his parents praying and he also felt like praying and sat for sometime.
As he got up early, he found lot of time for study and he could read more. He continued the same everyday and finally he got good marks in exams.
MORAL: Rise before Dawn.
