In a small village in India, there is a very special river. This river is different from other rivers because it can sing. Its song is like the most beautiful music, sometimes clear and cheerful, and sometimes melodious and gentle.
There was a little boy named Raju in the village. He was a curious and very kind - hearted child. Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the river surface, Raju would run to the riverbank and sit under the ancient banyan tree, quietly listening to the river sing.
The river's song seemed to hide countless stories. Sometimes, the song seemed to be telling ancient legends, those stories about gods and heroes. As Raju listened, he seemed to be able to see brave warriors riding horses on the battlefield, and also seemed to be able to see beautiful fairies dancing in the sky.
Although Raju was young, he was very clever. He found that when the river sang, everything around would become different. Birds would fly higher, flowers would bloom more brightly, and even the old oxen in the village would become more energetic.
One day, the village suffered from a drought. The crops were almost dying of thirst, and the villagers' faces were full of sorrow. Raju thought of the singing river. He believed that the river's song must have a magical power. So, he led the villagers to the riverbank.
When the river saw the sorrowful faces of the villagers, its song became more passionate and powerful. The song seemed to be summoning the clouds in the distance. The clouds heard the song and slowly gathered. It began to rain heavily in the sky.
The drought ended, and the village regained its vitality. The villagers were very grateful to the river and also to Raju. And Raju also learned a lot from the river's song. He knew that nature has infinite wisdom, and as long as people feel it with their hearts, they can gain strength from it.
Since then, Raju has cherished the river's song more. He often shares the stories and wisdom he learned from the river's song with his little friends in the village. His little friends would also follow Raju to the riverbank, listen to the river sing together, and feel joy and wisdom in the song.
