The mother reprimanded her son who went out to play with the tap on,

"Son! Turn off the tap. Know how precious water is.

The son who was going to play in a hurry spoke,

"Mother! Forget it .. you have to stop for a while! I have to go play. "

The mother looked at her son and stood up to turn off the tap. Looking past the past as if coming from the water tap. The game of water has been watched since birth.

Bhano of Porbandar, Pano ne Rano i.e. niece Loveji Ghiwala, Patthar and Rana Bhavsinhji were praised but that time became a glorious but past time. But it is still well known that even the sheep men here are still alive with the same morale as water. A small village of the same sheep. Two sounds echo in the middle of the night.

'' Daughter Queen! Some water in white? ”

The queen spoke with an effort not to make a sad noise in her eyes,

'' Haji ta malak se bapa! Be di ta nihri jahe ... ''

"Queen!"

The queen replied to Ajanpo with fear in her mind,

"Speak, father!" What does Kav see? "

Seeing the courage of his daughter, even in the midst of such a situation, Bapa Manoman laughed twice and said,

"Hey, if my daughter is watching, then why should Atane come?" My dinonath kare e hasu hev to. Baki dikari mi ta have aha sodi muki se ke koi avahe ayathi mani ne tuni basava ... ''

Today was the third day. The queen and her father were sitting in front of the water. Almost every year, if we call the flood in the language of the sheep, then the 'cell' will roam the whole sheep.

The sheep area must be flooded every year. If there are people with raw hearts, then when has the mother left her homeland and migrated? But these are men made of sheep's clay. He has never learned to retreat. Despite spending three consecutive months in the bat, he never criticized the land. When Bhadar, Ozat and Madhuvanti all become Ganditur, its roaring form can only be signed by a sheep man. Otherwise, the man will migrate and leave. The queen was made of the same clay ... a wheat-colored and nymph-filled dam. Unique patterned tattoos on both hands and feet. A gentleness that flies and catches the eye. Pride on Mer's daughter puts four moons in her form. Seeing even the Queen's cow does not seem arrogant, her creator may also feel like taking revenge. Who knows who will be healed from the throat but whoever will be healed will know how to cut a wound into two pieces. The dress of the daughter and the bride is also different, the underwear of the daughter is white which is called ghahiyu in Talpadi language and the bride is called red dharvo so that any stranger who comes will know that this is the daughter of this house and this is the bride of this house. The queen adorning such a dress speaks boldly to her father.

"Father, don't lose any courage ... the one above has to save thousands, the one who saves and the one who kills. Alakhno dhani kare e khari. The leaves do not move without its will. But we also have to have courage, father. Kik the rihe tami aha na melo, mani mara bhagwan par bharho se .. ''

This was not the first time that villages were turned into bats. Such a flood would often come and ruin everything. Not flowing water, but stagnant water. Which is not the case. The same thing happened this year. People like the queen and her father who were in the seam got trapped there. Those who were in the village stayed in the village.

Like the queen who had crossed the threshold of youth, all the girls were going to their father-in-law. But the queen had decided that she would not get married. The queen's kinship with the kingdom was decided at a time when the pragmatism of her youth was still erupting. What Jamraj also saw was that he lived with a stork duo. Leaving the kinship with the queen incomplete, Rajo passed away in a short illness. The queen was in love with Manoman Rajya. He decided not to do two bhavs in one bhav anymore. When the queen looked young, one by one superior manga started coming. The queen said, "I have taken my name as a witness to my God, now there is no change in it." Everyone was very persuasive but Rani Tuss didn't mind. From farming to housework, driving carts, driving santi, the queen began to get on her father's shoulders. The whole village used to say that if you leave this and start someone's house, you will be shaved, but the queen will marry someone without a king?

One year later, the queen and her father were trapped in the seam. Her father also lost courage that it is not possible to get out of here now, he will probably have to go to the shelter hungry till Kok arrives. But the queen was the queen. Who cares about this cell? It was a little light, so he encouraged his father and said,

"Father, if you believe me, let's swim slowly and get out of this. If you want to die, you have to die from nowhere ... "

He encouraged his father to go out and go to the village. The father and daughter held each other's hands and swam towards the village. The road is not marked. Take a look at the sea. If his feet get stuck in the bushes that come with him in this water, Ram will play. Toi Rani and her father went ahead. Gradually the water receded into the village so the village was visible from afar. But there was so much water in the seam that no one dared to come into the seam. The queen heard the sound of a baby crying when she was halfway there. The queen insisted on going to the voice. Her father told her not to take any risk in such water. But the queen was the queen. Philanthropy was woven into his blood. He swore to his father and stood there, because one of them was exhausted due to old age and was out of breath due to swimming in the water. Despite his request, the queen did not let him go. Began to move in the direction of the sound itself. Going inside a house half submerged in water, he sees a small child sitting on a high iron horse with his mother covered under the palva. Despite the amount of water, the sweat on his forehead made him feel that he was not feeling well at all. However, the mother did not allow the baby to touch even a drop of water. What do you care about the one whose mother is doing it? As the queen moved forward, she saw Phanidhar sitting curled up next to her mother and child. Rani's Ram went to play. Maa speaks to the queen,

'' Bean, don't come this way. Blackout This is the second day that I, my Arjan, have come to this Nagbapo Tayneya Aya. The lizard of my lizard has also moved the animal, it does not move or move. But if he knows more, if he runs to scare the scarecrow, then it is not right ... "

A snake also came along with the water as many animals came and went. Only those who have experienced it know how many people live in horrible conditions, are constantly in the middle of the water, their feet are rotten, when night falls, your horrible noises will rumble, the house is full of mud, there is no drinking water. Forget about eating there. The whole house is soaked. To those who are trapped in the water, only Jamraja can be seen. The day is still gone but the night seems like a ghost. Don't decide when the legs will bend. If the silt of the rivers has come to a standstill after the last landing, then sorghum or chickpeas are looming in the whole area. Farming is also easy, only sowing and reaping. No weeding or spraying. But for that we have to face the flood. Sometimes even the seeds that are sown are sown. You have to have the courage to live in the water at such a difficult time. One year the queen was in Ghodia and the house was flooded. Somehow the house was full of chickpeas all year round. There were mud houses. The soaked chickpeas swelled and the whole house collapsed. Anne's mother used to say this to the queen many times. What a heartbreaking situation it will be .. The season is gone and so is the house. Thousands flock to Venice, a city floating in the middle of the ocean. But many such villages are standing here in the middle of the water. Where no one even cares to come and the people here don't even care about anyone.

In such a situation the snake was so full here. Seeing a little space, he also took refuge. The child was constantly grumbling with hunger. Seeing Mano's face, he seemed to have lost his courage. Seeing the snake, the queen passed by in a daze. But there was no turning back now. He asked Bai,

"Come on, float ..."

Bai nodded. The queen gestured that after holding the child on her shoulder, the woman would slowly come down and defeat him so that the snake would not be disturbed. Otherwise, if the snake falls into the water, it may bite. The queen placed Arjun on her shoulder with amazing dexterity. Realizing that the child was also a granddaughter, he sat quietly. Bai slowly descended. As the queen was drawing, she started following him. The queen's father was waiting. Seeing the queen coming, life came to her. The baby's father took the baby on his shoulders. The queen took Bai's hand. Even in the middle of the water, Bai's body was burning like a furnace. Gradually the four of them reached the village after a long struggle of eating porridge. The queen was going to say to Zanzoli Bai, "Leo has reached the village ..." but her words remained in her throat. Now it was noticed that the left hand had become like ice. The queen stared at the stranger's dead body and at the sad eyes of her little child.

"Mother! Where did you get lost? "

There was a flood of tears in the eyes of the queen when the petitioner hit the queen in the present. Forgetting the years gone by, Rani Arjan kept on chanting Haiya Sarsi.
