An Unbelievable Cave

There were three friends. Their names are Fahim, Rahim and Jasim. They were very good friends among them. They love floating in different places. They have gone to many beautiful places together. So this time they plan to go to Mahasthanagarh.

So they packed their clothes. Then, Fahim said, I will pack the clothes but how many days we will stay there? Jasim said, it is better if we go for three days. We can look the whole place carefully. Then Fahim said, then we will go for three days. But where will we stay there? Rahim said, we will rent a hotel for three days. Then they rented a hotel. The next day they started to go to Mahasthangarh. After reaching Mahasthangarh, they rested. And started wandering around Mahasthangarh. They have some foods. They thought that they would eat the food after walking around. And there was a big carpet with them.

After walking some time they saw a strange cave. But in front of the cave there were a lot of small stones. So they could not enter inside the cave. Fahim said, we should not enter inside the cave. There can be some danger. Then Jasim and Rahim said we really want to go inside the cave. But Fahim did not say anything else. Then they moved the stones together. But it took a long time. It was almost evening, then Rahim said, it would not be right to go inside the cave. So they went to their rented hotel. They spent the night at the hotel.

The next day morning, they decided to go inside the cave. They also bought more foods for their safety. Then they started their walking inside the cave. The another point came out of the cave after walking a long time. They go outside and find that they have come to a jungle. They started exploring the jungle. But the problem is that they came to the jungle through that cave they forgot the way to go back to the cave. It was afternoon, they thought they have to make a camp to spend the night. But how to build a camp is not known to them.

Then Fahim said, I saw my uncle’s making a camp. So I can try. After that, Fahim made a camp that is not so good but useful to them. They spent their night at the useful camp. The next day, there was shortage of their foods. Then they were thinking how to find out the way of the cave. Rahim said, when I was walking through the cave I saw a sharp stone and I marked the way to the trees. But I didn’t give  the sign for a long time. So we have to find that marked trees. And we have to collect some foods. And Jasim knows about jungle very well. So Jasim started to collect some foods from the jungle. On the other side, Fahim and Rahim started to find the signed trees. They said that they must have to return before the evening. 

Jasim collected some fruits and got a fish. But Fahim and Rahim have not yet found the signed trees. But they found another cave. They thought they should check the another cave because that can be the another way to go out from the jungle. So, they entered the cave. They were surprised when they entered the another cave. They saw the cave was fulfilled by gold and diamonds. But it was almost evening, so they returned from the cave faster. And they said to Jasim everything that happened. Jasim was also surprised. They haven’t got a lot of foods. But they ate some foods and spent the night. And they kept some fruits and canned water for the next day.

The next day, they all went out towards the marked tree. And brought them each one flutes for entertainment. The three flutes had different sounds. They are three. Goes three sides towards and says that if one played flutes twice then he can see the marked tree. After a long time Rahim found the trees that he marked and he played his flute twice. Then Fahim and Jasim heard the sound of the flute and they came fast to Rahim. And they came out of that beautiful forest.

But they thought what will they do with the gold and diamonds. Rahim said, we should inform the government gold collectors. So they did that. And the three friends came back to their home happily. Those three friends are rewarded for their informing to the government gold collectors. And the wealth of the cave will be used for the honor of our country.
