Draft 2

“Do you think it is easy to support a family of three. It is not your fault that u are not able to give birth but why must we adopt a child”, are always the furious words coming from Ravi to his wife when a issue about adopting a child comes about.


Ravi and his wife were farmers in India. They were childless and Ravi never agreed on adopting a child as he had a feeling he will not be able to support it. That was the time when the British sent Ravi and his wife to work in tea plantations in Sri Lanka.

After one tiring woke day, Ravi was going home in the night. As he walked along the dark valley to reach his small hut, he heard cries of a baby. When he looked around he saw a few months old baby in a rubbish bin. On top of the baby was a letter. The letter had some information about the baby. From the letter Ravi got to know that the baby is child of a Sri Lankan and the baby was left there as the family wasn’t able to support it. Ravi thought of raising it as he own child for the satisfaction of his wife. They named the baby Surya.
