Hairpin

 Writer: Abdullah Fazli

Three friends: Shagofa, Behishta and Parwana were living in a green village far from the city.

One day Shagofa went to Behishta’s garden for playing but Parwana and Behishta were playing under a big tree beside flowers. Shagofa did not see them. Parawana and Behishta called her to go near them for playing but Shagofa did not hear. Parwana and Behishta went near and greeted her but shagofa was not hearing. Behishta mocked her and said that if she is deaf. Shagofa became sad and went with them and started playing under the tree. Behishta and Parwana were talking to her but Shagofa was not replying. they asked her about the cause of not talking to them.

 Shagofa did not reply. Parwana and Behishta got angry and excluded her from playing.

Shagofa became sad. Meanwhile, Parwana was itching her ear with her finger but it did not work and she brought out a hairpin from her hair and when she wanted to itch her ear with it, Shagofa prevented and told her that if she enters the hair grip into her ear, she might face the same problem as Shagofa is faced with.

Parwana wanted to tell her story. Shagofa said that three days ago when she was taking bath, water got into her ear and as she could not suffer if, she wanted to clean it her hairpin. When she entered the hairpin into her ear, suddenly she shouted and she was not able to hear any voice.

Her father took her to the doctor and after medication, she got better but I she is still not hearing well.

Parwana thanked her for informing her of the danger of cleaning ears with sharp object.
