Bus was Flowing Right Behind Me

I stayed a night at Sakhuwa of Gati VDC because a landslide near Baseri had blocked the road,
The next morning, I hopped onto the bus with registration number Ba 2 Kha 4013 that was on the
way to Barhabise from Tatopani.

I took a seat by the doorside and remember that there were around 35 passengers, including me.
The driver started the bus. A kilometer into the journey, I noticed a ditch on the road.
The driver tried to avert the ditch. Before I could know what was going on, the bus started
hurtling towards the Bhotekoshi.

I had given up hope of surviving, but found a ventilator glass broken. I came out of the shattered
glass and plunged into the Bhotekoshi.

The river carried me for about 35 kilometers and left me on the shallow surface. I passed out after
that. The rescuers took me to a hospital when I regained consciousness.

I heard later that all except four passengers had survived. I have sustained injuries on the face,
hands and other body parts. Nonetheless, I feel that surviving was my destiny.

_Two men were walking through the woods and come across a very big deep hole. "Wow...that looks
deep." One replied,"Sure does... toss a few pebbles in there and we will see how deep this hole is." Then
they pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait... no noise "Geeez. That is really deep... here..
throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise." After that, they pick up a
couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait... and wait. but no noise they heard.

Wow.. They were really impressed with how deep hole it was. They look at each other in amazement.
One gets a determined look on his face and says, "Hey...over here in the weeds, there's a railroad tie.
Help me carry it over here. When we toss that sucker in this hole, it's must make some noise."

The two men drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. But, not a sound comes from the hole.
Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men,
then right past them, running as fast as its legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole.
The goat disappeared into the deep hole.

The two men are astonished with what they've just seen. How could a goat jump into the hole? Then,
not long after that, out of the woods comes a farmer. He seemed to seek something and asked to the
two men, "Hey two guys... have you seen my goat out here?"

Feeling amazing with what they saw of a goat jumping to the hole, they answer straightly,"You bet we
did! Craziest thing I've ever seen! A goat came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!"
The farmer thought a moment and said, "That could not have been my goat. Because my goat was
chained to a railroad tie." Then he left the two men.

_Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting.I did not
enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking very
loudly.I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned around. I looked at the man and the
young woman angrily. They did not pay any attention.In the end, I could not bear it. I turned
around again. “I could not hear a word” I said angrily.“It’s none of your business” the young man
said rudely. “This is a private conversation”

*Once upon a time, there lived a kind hearted man and his wife. One morning, his wife found a
poor little sparrow. She took it gently and fed it. To show its gratitude, the sparrow stayed with
them and sang every morning. But there was an ill-tempered old woman who didn't like the
sparrow. She cut the sparrow's tongue. That's why the bird flew away to its previous nest.

Knowing that their sparrow flew away, the kind man and his wife looked for the sparrow. They
walked a long way, crossed the bridges, climbed the mountains and passed the woods.

At last, they could find the sparrow's nest. The sparrow welcomed them and provided a feast for
them. Before they went home, the sparrow brought two baskets; one was large and looked heavy,
and the other one was small and light. The sparrow asked them to choose only one. They chose
the small and that was the best choice. There were many rolls of silk and piles of gold in it.

Being jealous, the ill-tempered old woman did the same thing as the kind man and his wife did.
She chose the big basket which actually contained wasps and venomous crawlers, such as
scorpions, centipedes, and other horrible creatures. Finally, aaathey stung and bit her to death.

* The Purse of Gold

A beggar found a leather purse that someone had dropped in a market place. Opening it, he
discovered that it contained 100 pieces of gold. Then he heard a merchant shouted, "A reward! A
reaward to the one who find my leather purse!"
Being an honest man, the beggar came forward and handed the purse to the merchant saying,
"Here is your purse. Will you keep your word to give a reward now?"

"Reward?" scoffed the merchant greedily counting the amount of gold. "The purse I dropped had
200 pieces of gold in it. You've already stolen more than the reward I'll give to you.! Go away or
I'll tell you to the police."

"I'm an honest man," said the beggar defiantly. "Let's take this matter to the court!" In the court,
the judge patiently listened to both sides of the story and said, "I believe you both. Justice is
possible! Merchant, you stated that the purse you lost contained 200 pieces of gold. Well, that's a
considerable cost. But the purse the beggar found had only 100 pieces of gold. Therefore, it
couldn't be the one you lost."

And, with that, the judge gave the purse and all the golds to the beggar.
