| The last time I went back to visit my village in Pakistan something dramatic happened, which affected the whole village. I was walking in my fields looking at the fruit trees and I heard some people shouting. Then we all went to see what had happened. There was a big commotion in the field because a beautiful, precious cow had fallen into the well. At that time everyone was worried about what to do and what would happen to the poor cow and everyone was giving their own advice. Several of the men tried their best three times to pull that cow out of the well using strong ropes and a tractor but three times that big heavy animal fell back into the well. There were a few men helping and waiting by the well who were very distressed because the animal was, in fact, a bull that one of the men had borrowed from another farmer. He knew that if he could not save this animal then it would be impossible for him to repay the cost of the bull to its owner because he was just an ordinary farmer with no other source of income or savings. After trying to work out how to save this poor, valuable animal, the villagers came up with an idea. They slaughtered the animal as it lay in the well and then they cut it up and sold the meat to everyone in the village. Obviously they paid the money to the man who had borrowed the bull in the first place so that he could repay its owner. This event showed me how good it is when people unite to help each other. On his own, that man would have been ruined, but with the help of his fellow villagers he was saved from ruin. |
