Reema, a beautiful young woman from the village, was taking her three-year-old child to the zoo. Five or seven college boys were chatting among themselves, glancing at her frequently. They followed the beautiful, lonely village girl. Reema, sometimes holding her child in her lap, sometimes holding her finger, took turns showing her the animals. Completely oblivious to the vagrant boys following her...
Singing the film song and making inappropriate comments, they cut past her, laughing uproariously. Reema paid them no attention. She was showing them her child near the deer enclosure. The child was watching them, giggling. The vagrant boys were staring at the young woman. They were making lewd remarks at her near the lion enclosure nearby.
One of the boys was in high spirits, sitting on the grill above the enclosure, singing lewd songs. Reema, carrying the child, went ahead to show the lions. It seemed as if she wasn't afraid of the boys at all, or was ignoring them. The young man became overjoyed. Everyone was laughing. Reema had reached the enclosure. Just then, the boy, climbing over the fence, stumbled and fell inside. Everyone was stunned.
The lion, sitting at a distance from the enclosure, had risen. Growling, it slowly made its way towards the boy. His friends stood helplessly, screaming. A guard came running and called out to the lion, telling it to leave. Within a minute, chaos had erupted. Seeing the lion approach, the fallen boy trembled with fear. Perhaps his senses had faded along with his excitement.
The cries of "Mother... Mother... Save... Save!" were steadily increasing, as did the lion's pace.
Just then, Reema, the village girl, took off her five-and-a-half-meter-long sari and hung it in the enclosure. The boy who had fallen into the enclosure immediately grabbed the end of the saree tightly. Then, with the help of people, he was pulled out. The guard, while holding the young man, said, "First, your mother gave birth to you, today this young woman has given birth to you again."
Standing in just a blouse and petticoat, the half-naked young woman now appeared to the boys as their mother.
So, if possible, don't harass anyone unnecessarily. You never know when they might come to your aid. Always respect women.
