Horrible Sounds of the Cold Wind

 Written by: Abdullah Fazli

Najib and Wahid were two friends living in a green village far from the city. They were classmates too and they were always going to a learning course together.

One winter day when the snow was falling, Najib went to Wahid’s house and asked him to go to the course with him. Wahid took his books and pen and wanted to go with Najib. Najib saw that Wahid had put on his old shoes without socks and he had not worn on his warm clothes.

Wahid told him about the cold weather and horrible wind and asked him to go back home and wear his new shoes and warm clothes but Wahid said that he doesn’t care about the cold weather.

When they went half of the way, the snow went inside his shows and the cold weather caused wahid’s trembling. Najib asked him to go back home and wear his warm clothes but Wahid said that he would buy warm socks in the shop near the course.

Wahid could not go anymore.  Najib took him on his back to the course and he wanted to buy socks for him but the shop was closed on that day. Wahid and Najib entered the class. Wahid was still trembling. After the end of the course, all students went to their houses but Najib and Wahid were still in the course. Wahid was coughing and he asked Najib to take him home but Najib was not able to take him alone on his back. Meanwhile, Najib saw another student, Qudrat and asked him inside the class. Najib asked Qudrat to bring shoes, socks and a warm jacket for Wahid from his home. Qudrat brought those items and they took Wahid to the nearest clinic. The doctor prescribed him some medicines and said that Wahid is suffering from pneumonia.

Wahid promised that he would always put on his warm clothes in the winter.
