Save Environment: inspired by The Last Truck Ride by Ruskin Bond

Nathu a sturdy boy, Comes to the valley to work instead of playing with a toy. He says that for the daily essentials for his family he has to come down, But still misses his hometown. When he sees the uprooting of a tree, He is in an awe that what will happen to the vegetation in his hills which are free. When Pritam Singh was driving recklessly, Nathu looks out of the window fearlessly. He saw the sky above, And the valley below. He saw the deep valley below go by, And watched the movement of the free sky. During the accident he lies on the bed of thorns, Pritam Singh goes to the hospital and meets Nathu who warns. The true meaning of being a human is to plant on land, And not to blast things out of the land.
