THE SORROW OF A COCONUT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         

   M y  story   began  as   a  sweet   and  lovely   bud, full    of darkness. I    began   to   grow   slowly. I   thought   that  this   entire    world    existed    only    as  a   huge   room  of darkness.  As   i   kept   on   growing,  i  became  a  fleshy  coconut. I   was   dangling   on   my   mother's   neck.  One  day   suddenly   someone   separated   me   from  my  mom,  very    painfully. I   was  taken   to   some  unknown  place  and   was   thrown    around  .I    felt   a    burning   sensation   all   over    my   body   even   then   i   felt   delighted,   because   i  believed    that  at   the   end  i  would   be   able   to   find   at   least   a    dazzling    gleam  of   light.  I   sincerely   wished   and   longed   for  that moment.

                  After   long  days   a   sharp   knife   was   thrust  into   my   body.  I   suffered   that   pain   awfully. I  had  long   been    waiting   for  that  wonderful   day  . My   skin  was   ton  apart    and   i   tried   to   imagine   that    it   was   tickling  . At  last  it  happened . After   waiting    for   a  long   time   i   got   released    from   the   shackles   of  darkness .I  found  many  fellows  around  me.I  found  a  heap    shells   near   to  me   too. I  tried    imagine    my  initial    form     and    shape . Now   i   had    a   lot   of  friends  . I  realized    that    how   far    and   wide   is   this  world    How    beautiful   i  am   today   I   felt   my   skin  shining  .

               One  day   all   of    us    were    placed   in    an  open    space. There   we   spent   many    days    chatting  and    laughing.  The    bright    son    smiled    at    us.I  felt  getting   dried . It   was    like   i   was   detaching   my  self   from   my   shell .On   the   next   day   someone   came   and   completely   separated   me   from   my   shell  .  Even   then  i   felt   happy.  I  believed  that   everything    is  going  to  be  fine.

                   One day   we    will   all   taken   to   be  squeezed   in   a   giant   machine  .                                       ALL DREAMS    ENDED!                           I  came out  without  any  blood and  threw  me  out....
