Tarla's Best Birthday Gift
Born 2001, F, from Ahmedabad, IndiaTarla was on her way to her house, just until she saw a stray puppy on the street which was hurt. Tarla was very kind and helpful, she then picked up the dog and took her to the Pet adoption center. Tarla always wanted a puppy, but she cannot afford it, nor would her mother allow her to keep one as her mother used to say that pets may give diseases. However her friend Mia decided to let her come and spend at least some time with Mia's puppy Pearly. In the adoption center of the pets, the keeper said that this dog is badly bruised, and before the adopting period she has to show the bruised dog to a professional veterinary doctor. She also agreed and took the little puppy to her friend's uncle's veterinarian called "Paws & Claws". It was one of the very best organized hospitals for pet care. She asked the doctor what was the problem with the little stray puppy. He replied that the puppy is weak due to dehydration, food and shelter. He said, "Do not worry Tarla, you have done the right thing bringing the puppy here, if you had not done so now it would have been too late. It just needs 2 weeks care in the veterinary care room for dogs." Tarla excitedly replied to him, "Doctor, thank you so much, I want to keep this puppy with me, but my mom just would refuse, she does not like pets I think." "Everyone has a different opinion Tarla, you just have to face it."
When she returned home her mother scolded her asking why was she late, Tarla however had to make an excuse so she randomly told her, "I went to my friend's house to take help from her for our school project." Her mother believed her. "Okay that's fine as long as you talk about your school related things." Just then she got an idea. "Mom, um can I go to the circus? I'll be back soon, by 7:30 sharp." "Okay but do not talk with random strangers and do not go to a place you do not know about." "Yes! I get it. Bye mom." she left hurriedly and went back to the veterinary doctor for pets. "Doctor, how's the puppy now?" "She's all fine now but she feels alone here." "Don't worry about that, I will keep her in the pet adoption center." She gently picked the puppy up in her arms and made way for the adoption center nearby. When she reached there she asked, "Uncle, can you please put this sweet little puppy for adoption? Hope she finds a home soon." "You just do not worry kid, we are all here for her."
When Tarla was on her way home, Tarla's father had arrived at the adoption center. He thought for a while, Hmm, Tomorrow is Tarla's birthday and I have the best gift for her. But her mother would not allow him to buy one pet. "Hello, how may I help you sir?" It was the same keeper where Tarla had come before. Her dad had successfully brought a pet for her. Knowing her mother would shout At home-: "Psst, Vandana come here!" Vandana was the mother of Tarla. Tarla was upstairs playing with her dolls. "What's in that? And why are you so late? Have you seen the time?" Vandana's husband opened the lovely parcel. "What? A Puppy? You know I do not like them, Plus they spread diseases." "You know right, tomorrow is Tarla's birthday and she has always wanted a puppy?" "Oh yes!" "Please let's gift this to her, with this I'm sure she will be happy." "If so, then I won't stop you."
After some time they slept along with Tarla. In the morning time-: "Good morning Tarla, Happy birthday dear!" Tarla was excited, "Oh my, thanks mom and dad! What's in that huge box?" "See for yourself." saying so they handed it to her, to her surprise when she opened it: "Oh my god! It is the same puppy I kept for adoption." "You did? Anyways, here is your puppy. You can keep it, but also you need to take good care of it. Promise me you will!" "Yes I will dad, and I'm so naming it by Muffin."
And she loved the puppy and kept her promise.
