Reading Comprehension
I used to have a pet peacock called Miru. I loved him very much. Our village has lots of large fields around it and Miru used to wander in them all the time. In the evening he would comeback home and dance beautifully.
One sad evening, Miru did not come home. I was worried and wanted to search for him. Miru might have found a friend, laughed my father. You will see, tomorrow he will come back with his friend. I did not sleep for a moment that night. As soon as it was morning, we started searching for Miru. I went to his favourite tree. He was not there. I went to the bushes near the pond. He was not there. Then I went into the fields. I called Miru, Miru. He did not come. Then I whistled, but there was still no Miru. A farmer was ploughing his field. What are you looking for, Saifullah? he asked.
My pet peacock, Miru, I said. He did not comeback last night. Have you seem him anywhere?
A peacock? I shot one last night because I like eating peacocks, he said. Was the peacock wearing a silver ring on his foot? I asked tearfully. Yes, he was, replied the farmer. Oh, my poor Miru, I started sobbing.
I cried and cried. My eyes were red. The farmer wanted to console me but I could not stop crying. Then farmer said, I am sorry, little boy. I promise never to shoot a peacock again. My Miru was dead but at least other children’s peacocks in my village were safe now.
