and thrown into the water. Besides, the branches seem
to have been carefully detached from the trees, and
piled up on purpose with the logs. The loud sound of the
river has been muffled now and a small pond is beginning
to form. Karim has started to think that these things are
not happening by chance. It is as if someone is working

hard at the river bank every day and doing so with a
purpose. So who is this mysterious person?
Karim makes a plan to satisfy his curiosity. He intends
to go to the river bank very early, to find out who is doing
all these things. He tells his brother about this and

convinces him to come with him. The next morning, they
carry out their plan.

You must be
wondering
what this pile
of logs is
doing in the
water. So just
continue
reading. What
you will learn
will be both
surprising and
enjoyable.
