The secret of darkness:- Story
“I don’t know who has done this unforgivable crime. But let me make all of you aware that the day when I get to know the criminal who has killed my friend in the darkness of night, I will not leave him to take a breath in the fresh air of the jungle,” said a loud and dangerous voice in the peaceful environment of the jungle. King was terribly angry as in the middle of the jungle all the animals were gathered, listening to the king with full attention. The crowd was gathered in order to find out the criminal, who has killed the most honourable, truthful and loyal member of the jungle and who had been a very old worker of the palace where he was working as a minister (minister cow).
Due to his death, every animal in the jungle was in sorrow and no one knew who killed the voice of the forest (minister cow). He was a voice for the voiceless, he had the medicine for each sorrow of the jungle. But one dark night took all the adorableness of the forest, shine and voice in a flock. The jungle was gifted with a king who justified nature and well behaviour was well-known all around, the king was in a big shock after losing his beloved friend. He was terribly angry and repeated the same question “tell me clearly who has done this?” Neither anyone said anything nor anyone was capable of speaking a single word in front of the king. King fell into a deep silence, he gave a look at everyone and said, “I know all of us have lost our jungle’s charm. I promise that I will not leave my soul’s murderer to live peacefully in the jungle. “After a while from the back of the crowd a voice was heard “My lord! I will not let my lord, my king, sleep at night to find the killer of his friend,” said a wolf (he is a minister and one of the closest friends of the king, he has been working for a long time with the king).
Minister wolf: I have found the murderer who has murdered our friend.
King: who is that?
Minister wolf: He is this Stupid.
“What Mr deer”, the whole crowd. “No no he can’t do this”, said everyone.
King: I have never expected this from you. I never thought you could do this.
Mr deer: No my Lord believe me I have not done this, please believe in this poor servant of yours. I can do anything but not murder.
Minister wolf: I know it is hard to believe it easily but I have brought two witnesses if you don’t believe. They were present there at the moment when Mr deer and our friend were fighting on a problem.
Two witnesses: yeah! My lord! We were there at the moment when the minister cow and Mr deer fight was going on. Mr Deer was saying that he would kill him and he said that he would show him.
Mr deer: I agree with my honor, I said it but I can’t cross my limits. I was angry with him but I didn’t see him after that fight. Please! leave me, really I have not done anything.
The king ordered to kill him after listening to the two witnesses (it was the rule of the jungle if two witnesses would witness for the event then the king took the decision without thinking anything else) and he was killed with the same words of forgiving till his last breath.
Same as everywhere the audience watched the going things with full enjoyment and was just about to leave before a sound of trembling lips raised from the crowd “I also want justice”, said a very poor goat .” No no don’t say anything leave this matter”, said all the goat’s family members.
King: What is the matter Mr goat, I will give justice.
“Yes, don’t be afraid of anyone we all will help you”, said all the crowd
Mr goat: (after a deep breath) My Honor we ask for a peaceful life from you. For a time we are under the feet of pressure and can’t step out on our own. We have lost our thousand lives but couldn’t raise a voice to get justice for them. My poor sister was killed in his order. We have nothing of our own. I ask for justice, nothing more or less.
King: Who is that?
Mr goat: Minister wolf.
After hearing this name everyone took their feet back.
King: What Minister wolf……
After a long discussion, the king finally punished the minister and snatched all the power of the wolf. Everyone became happy and the king’s name sounded all over the forest. Everyone went to their homes happily, the sunset and all the things were covered with a dark blanket. The beauty of the day was filled with the darkness of the night and things were silent. Everyone was sleeping under the shining stars of the sky. A baby elephant was looking at the sky with question full eyes and turned to his mother.
Baby elephant: Really it was a justice today mom.
Mom: Yeah it was why do you have any doubt?
Baby elephant: Mom, are we safe in the darkness of the night under the rule of our king?
Mom: What stupid questions, couldn’t you see how he punished his soul mate ( minister wolf ) for us. Now don’t ask anything.
Baby elephant: Who knows what secret night has a mom.
Mom: shut up, it is not your age to discuss such things.
In the middle of the night from the palace of the king, sounds were coming out. King was very angry and talking to someone.
King: I have always told you to be careful about everything, you never listen to me. Now look if I hadn’t seen minister cow that night then he would have told everyone our reality. This darkness has only saved you yet.
Minister wolf: I’m sorry for everything but you saw how I handle the situation.
King: People think I have kicked you out of the palace then be careful now before coming here.
(Knocked the door)
Servant: Lord, someone is coming to meet with you.
King: send him in.
Wolf: Who is coming?
King: Welcome our friend, he will help you to find your prey.
“Your prey is sleeping very far from his family in a corner of the house that’s why it is easy for you to catch him easily”, said a goat (he is from the family of that goat who complained against the minister wolf in the gathering).
Wolf: very impressive.
The wolf went and killed Mr goat like the minister cow in order to keep him silent forever. In the darkness of night once again a voice was killed. His story also ended the brightness of another day.
