A short read for Class 3 before you play. These notes are written for this page and are not copied from the textbook.
🐶 A puppy in the cold
Badal lives with his mother in a village. One evening, on his way home from school, he sees a puppy shivering in the cold. He brings the puppy home and promises his mother to take care of it. They name the puppy Moti.
🐾 Best friends
As the days go by, Moti grows up and loves Badal. They eat together, play their favourite games and go everywhere together. Moti even follows Badal wherever he goes.
🌧 A rainy day
One rainy day, Badal slips on the muddy lane and falls into a deep pit. He tries hard but cannot climb out. His mother gets worried when he does not come home, so she gathers the neighbours to search for him, and Moti goes along.
👃 Moti to the rescue
Moti catches Badal’s scent and follows it to the pit. He starts barking, which alerts the neighbours. They use a rope to pull Badal out. Everyone is relieved, and Badal hugs Moti and thanks him.
