He was too young and about thirteen 

Yet, the boy helped his parents in the land 

That early morning he had seen

His father went for sowing peddy with hand

There were twelve women with his father 

They worked for wages to sow peddy

From the village the land was not farther 

But, its between the water, all were ready.

A red flag was flying above their heads

A pair of coconut was hanging on a bamboo 

Father was distributing seedlings to their hands

They all were singing folk like kuckoo 

The Sun rose a little high in the sky 

It was almost ten 'o' clock on the watch 

They were frequently watching with shy

Towards someone, who brought edible much.

His mother prepared bread and tea for them

He had to carry them carefully 

He was excited to carry each item 

A cattle in one hand, breads the other freely.

As soon he went out of the village 

He slept and fell down on the ground 

Breads went inside the mud, he couldn't manage 

The boy found nobody around.

He was afraid! what would happen?

If he couldn't reach them with the food

He thought to wash bread in a pond adjucent 

And the idea was too good.

He reached there where all had been waiting 

They ate all bread happily as they were hungry 

Yet, the boy saw the traces of dusts glowing 

But nobody knew it, otherwise they might be angry!

The flag and the coconut were put down 

They broke the coconut to eat its sweet carnel

Till today the secret is totally unknown 

But the boy remembers it, that's not a normal!
