Peace: A necessity

srishti.verma0015

Once upon a time, on the planet of Pimpopo, people lived with peace and brotherhood who were very friendly to each other and treated someone as if they were a part of their own family. They had respect for others' thoughts and talents. Everyone was happy and caring. This went on for a few years but, all of a sudden, the whole scenario changed. People divided themselves on the basis of their way of thinking and different looks. People of different environments were provided a part of the land while others were given another area. They established their rulers and had contempt for the people of another land. The kings were greedy for money and kept trying to capture others' parts of the land. They were no more brothers and sisters but aliens for each other. This is how, Babatom, the only continent of Pimpopo, was divided into two blamados that we call a country in our language, namely Pitidosa and Nanadosa. Both King Elbert of Pitidosa and King James of Nanadosa were heartless and kept breaking a war against each other to capture an area for their covetousness. In these wars, thousands of people were killed and their families shed tears for them; there was no peace but violence; everyone was in a miserable state. If this would continue for a long time, Pimpopo would come to an end. Once, a deadly disease broke in Pitidosa. Millions of people passed because of it and all the people there were busy finding medicine for it so that everyone could get cured and return to their ordinary life. Although the individuals worked from their fingers to bones to find a brilliant solution, they were unable to do so. The people of Nanadosa also were trying to make out a remedy for that disease and finally discovered a capsule that could cure it. However, they did not want to give it to the people of Pitidosa as they loathed them. King Elbert begged King James to give him the medicine as the people there were yearning for it. After a lot of pleas, King James got fed up with them and threw the capsule in the hands of King Elbert in a sinful manner, but still, King Elbert thanked him well with the greatest admiration changing the king’s mind, and this melted his heart. He hugged King Elbert and sobbed as the two had acquired the lesson that they should not have fought with each other. This had given them only sadness and violence. All the people there too realized the same and they clasped each other. They had now made peace and now, once again, on the planet of Pimpopo, the people lived with peace and brotherhood. They were very friendly to each other and treated others as if they were a part of their own family. They had respect for others' thoughts and talents. Each one of them was cheerful and affectionate.
