For a Better World....

"Oh God!” Deny said. “What will I do? All my friends have almost finished their English assignments, and I only have a vague idea about what I am going to write on, which is animals. But what role will I play?”

She looked at her dog Fluffy and asked him, “Oh! My dear Fluffy, can you give me a suggestion?” The dog told her, “Look Deny, I am a dog, so I can ask you to play the role of a dog. You know dogs are faithful animals and their masters love them a lot, their lives are more comfortable than that of other animals. But wait, I have an idea, I have a magical charm that can convert you into any animal of your choice. That way you can experience it yourself.” Deny was happy and impatient to turn herself into a dog. When she opened her eyes, she was shocked to see what had happened. “What do I have to do now?” Deny asked Fluffy.

“Nothing, we pet dogs have a very comfortable life. We just rest, bark, move around and wait for the meal provided by our masters.”

Soon Deny got bored of just sitting around, and she wanted to try something new. So this time she turned herself into a rhino. As soon as she made the transformation, she saw many people trying to take pictures of her. She felt proud when the tourists gave her so much importance, but she had to struggle hard to steer clear of the poachers. She felt sad that in these days of science and technology, why would a superior species like man believe in the superstitious use of a rhino horn. Who will make people understand that the horns bear no medicinal value for which our species is about to get extinct? A few years down the line, people will only be able to see us in the form of a wooden model or a photograph.

After being a rhino for some more days, and having collected a lot of information on them, Deny turned herself into her original form. She realised what she had to do, so, she promised to make people aware about protecting and conserving the rhino species, and such other species like vultures, golden langurs, pygmy hogs, tigers, etc.

She also pledged to spread this message among the human community to save animals, plants and the Planet Earth as a whole. Let’s join Deny in her race to make the world a better place for all living beings.
