The Ripe Strawberry

A Short-Story by Pratyusha l Monday Blossoms by BE TALES l

I would like to present today one of the most memorable sweet stories “The ripe Strawberry”, which happened in the present Mahishmati Kingdom - Moinabad.

It was the month of June – my favorite month when I was going along with my friends on the bus to strawberry self-plucking fields. Suddenly the bus got stuck in the mud, and two tires were flat. The driver got down to check and said he could not drive further as there was only one extra tire.

We all got off the bus and started walking to the fields, which were about 4km from there. On our way, we saw many tiny rabbits and squirrels, while enjoying the natural background music of the flowing water from the mountains. Because there was no network, we used mobiles just for taking pictures and capturing beautiful visuals. I was more interested to enjoy nature, so I started walking in front, leaving my friends behind, who were on a slow pace.

Then suddenly, a giant rock came rolling towards me, and I closed my eyes as I ran, as if it was a dead end, not sure if I could come out suddenly, I felt as if I was floating in the sky. To my surprise, when I opened my eyes, my hand was held by a handsome supreme guy, none other than Amarendra Baahubali, who was holding the tree roots, and we were flying between the mountains.

Then when I saw down, it was fully green with red dots, then did I realize that it is the Strawberry field that I wanted to go to. We safely landed, and I thanked him for bringing me safely there. He said only one word – Jai Maahismati! I was walking in the front, and he escorted me to the fields were the strawberries were ripe, and then I went, and we both plucked as many as we could, and ate there and bought the remaining to do Strawberry jam at home 😊

When I said we are done, he held my hand tightly, and we flew back, holding the roots of trees. We landed at the place from where he saved me, and I got down and wanted to thank him. But to my surprise, nobody was there, and I was on the floor in our home. Next to me were Ripe Red strawberries.
