Birju, the Brave

There was a small village the mountains. The name of the village was Surajpur. There was a big forest all around Surajpur. People in Surajpur were happy. They worked hard and grew good crops.

Birju, a young man, also lived in Surajpur. He was tall and handsome. He was wealthy, too. But he was not brave. He was afraid of even a mouse. He never went out at night. The children ’teased him, “Birju, the Coward.”

Once the village sarpanch received a note from some dacoits. “We are coming to your village tonight. Keep all your money and ornaments ready.” The sarpanch called the villagers. He showed them the note. Some villagers wanted to attack the dacoits. Some others said, “We shall trap them.”

Birju was also there. He stood up and told the sarpanch, “Sir, don’t worry about the dacoits. I will teach them a lesson.” The Villagers laughed. The sarpanch said, “What! You will teach them a lesson ! Birju, you are afraid of even a small mouse.

How will you teach them a lesson ?” Birju replied, “Give me ten strong young men. I have a plan.” The sarpanch agreed. He asked ten strong young men to go with him.

After sunset, Birju and his friends gathered at the village gate. They carried a bundle of wire and sticks. They tied the wire to the trees across the road. Then they hid themselves behind the trees.
It was dark. They did not see anyone for a long time. Late at night the dacoits came on horseback.

They did not see the wire in the dark. One by one they fell down. Birju and his friends came out. They caught the dacoits and tied them to the trees. The next day the sarpanch called the police. The police arrested the dacoits. The sarpanch and the villagers congratulated Birju and his friends. Now Birju was not “Birju, the Coward”. He was “Birju, the Brave”.
