Village Girl Story for Kids: Nandram lived in a village with his wife Sunanda and daughter Khushboo. Nandram had a small farm. In which he used to do farming.
They had built a hut nearby in which they all lived. One day at the time of Ram, all three were preparing to sleep in the courtyard of the house. Khushboo used to sleep with her mother. Both mother and daughter were talking.
Fragrance: Mother, why don't we have lights at home? Most of the houses in the village have lights.
Sunanda: Daughter, one day we too will have a permanent house and lights will be installed in it. Now look at the benefits of not having lights, one is that we complete all the work during the day, like we cook and eat food during the day. This keeps health good. Second we go to sleep early. This helps us wake up early in the morning.
Fragrance: But mother, it gets so dark at night.
Sunanda: Daughter, look at what beautiful light the moon is giving us in the sky. Then where are we in the dark? And yes, this light will remain with you throughout your life, wherever you go. Whenever you grow up and look at the moon, remember your mother's words.
Time was passing like this. One day, Khushboo's mother Sunanda's health worsens. She is taken to the hospital but she does not survive. Khushboo hugs her mother and cries a lot.
Nandram is also heartbroken by his wife's death. After a few days, they sell their farm and house and come to the city with Khushboo. With this money Nandram opens a small shop. They get Khushboo admitted in a school.
Khushboo was very quick to read. She would go to school and come home in the afternoon, cook food and give it to her father at the shop. Both father and daughter eat together. Nandram used to cook food in the evening after coming from the shop.
Now they lived in their small rented house. While sleeping at night, Khushboo would miss her mother a lot. She used to run to the terrace to see the moon.

Fragrance: Dad, I have some good news to tell you. I have been transferred to our village. Now let us go to our village.
Nandram: But daughter, what is there now? Anyway, I don't feel like going there at all. After your mother died, I didn't feel like going there, so I came here.
Fragrance: Dad, I miss mom a lot. Let's go there and see our house, who knows if we get it back I will buy it. Mother's memories are linked to that house.
Nandram: But daughter, what will happen to the shop here?
Fragrance: Father, now you rest, you have worked very hard, you will sell this shop and buy a farm in the village and will get laborers to work on it.
