***It was another hot summer day and Jake was outside, playing with his new puppy,

a chocolate pointer
puppy. The puppy is called Rocky. Jake was an accountant and has finally got time during this vacation. Jake
was busy playing with the puppy and suddenly the puppy vanished and Jake couldn't find him anywhere. Jake
was very angry. He yelled at the puppy and gave him a small slap so as to bring him to his senses. However, the
puppy didn't show any sign of coming back. Oh, I wish I could find him, thought Jake. He started searching all
over his neighborhood. Jake looked all over the street, in the houses and jungles nearby. He had searched the
whole of his village and the neighboring village and he couldn't find Rocky anywhere. The neighbors and the
villagers came out to his help, but to no avail. Jake was really worried and didn't know what to do. He got very
restless and started looking around. Suddenly, he met a little boy around 9 years old. The little boy was very
beautiful with black shiny hair. He was wears torn clothes and running barefoot on the hot scorching road. His
eyes were so nice and innocent. They were shining like bright stars. He looked very innocent. He looks about 9
years old and skinny. 'Sir' began the little boy. 'Do you know where Rocky could be? I haven't seen him for
over a year.' 'Where are your parents?' asked Jake. 'There was a forest fire recently in the countryside and
our house was burnt down and both my parents died in the fire,' said the little boy looking up at the sky. 'I'm
lost. Is there any house nearby?' Jake smiled: 'Listen, surely there must be a house nearby where you can stay
for few days and then look for a job. I'm very worried about you. Come, I'll offer you some food and give you a
bed near mine.' 'Maybe you can take me there right away. Unfortunately, I have no money to buy food,' said
the little boy. Jake responded: 'Here, put this money in your pocket,' and gave him the company's wallet. The
little boy took the wallet and thanked Jake. Jake wanted to know who the little boy was but the little boy could
not remember his name. In the evening, Jake was worried about the little boy. He knew that the little boy can't
afford food and so he brought him some food inside his house. A few days passed and Jake had also got used
to the little boy staying in his house for the night. At these nights, Jake was trying to be more gentle and kind to
the little boy.
