"Welcome to the third chapter. Let me continue describing the incident. Yesterday, we saw how a child, who had gone into the bushes for the toilet, returned after a long time and told everyone something that terrified them.
What did that child say? When the principal asked him, 'Son, tell us what happened? Why did you take so long? And why are you so frightened?'
The boy stammered in fear, 'Sir... Sir! I saw... I saw him there.' The teachers urged him, 'Tell us son, tell us what happened?'
The boy said, 'Sir, when I went into the bushes for the toilet, I saw a mango tree nearby. It was laden with juicy mangoes. Seeing them, I felt hungry. After finishing my business, I went near the tree. As soon as I reached it... I saw that without any wind or storm, and for no reason at all, mangoes started falling one by one. I was very happy. Since it was dark, nothing was clearly visible, but I started picking up the mangoes.
I was standing right under the tree when my gaze suddenly went upward. I was terrified because someone was sitting on a branch! Sir, it wasn't a monkey or any other animal. It was... it was definitely a ghost! As soon as I saw it and screamed to run away, a huge branch of the mango tree fell right where I was standing.'
The boy continued, 'I moved a little distance away from the tree, and gathering my courage, I looked back. I found that in the darkness of the night, someone from that tree was gesturing with their hand, calling me towards them.'
'I was terrified, Sir, and I started running fast from there, but I don't know why, I felt like someone was following me.'
Friends, let me tell you that this is a true incident that people still talk about today. They say that if that child hadn't run away from there, his dead body would have been found the next day. I have already told you the events following this—how the children were so scared that one child even wet his pants, the driver jumped back into the bus abandoning the tire, and everyone began to scream as the principal and teachers broke into a cold sweat.
But the trouble had only just begun. Another child now urgently needed to use the toilet. He was petrified. He had two choices: either go into the bushes like the first child or follow the other boy's lead and do it in his pants. The principal thought—why take a risk? If the pants get ruined, so be it, but at least his life wouldn't be in danger. Thinking this, the principal did not give him permission to go. The result was as expected—the child's trousers were ruined.
The principal had just taken a sigh of relief when he noticed that the driver was refusing to come out of the bus. He was so scared that he had left the tire change incomplete and sat shivering inside the bus. Actually, a similar haunting incident had happened to this driver during his childhood. Since then, deep-seated fear had taken root inside him.
But the question is—if the driver doesn't fix the tire and won't drive the bus, how will the children and teachers reach home? And it had only been a short while; how would everyone survive the entire night in this deserted and haunted place?
Will the driver find the courage to stand up again and fix the tire to get everyone home safely? I will tell you in the next part of the story.
Until then, stay connected with us. Thank you!"
