- (Jamal businessman. he is very hardworking and honest. he goes to nearby park everyday in the evening for a walk with his favorite dog tommy) Write a story based on the prompt and give it an appropriate title.
Jamal was a businessman in a small town in the Middle East. He used to get up early in the morning everyday & then sell toys in a nearby city. He was really hardworking & honest. He also loved children, which was the main reason why he invested in a toy business. After this tiring routine of selling toys, he used to come back home & then go to a nearby park everyday in the evening for a walk with his favourite dog, Tommy. Now, Tommy was a mischievous & playful dog who used to get into trouble always. One such fine day when Jamal took Tommy to the park, he saw a huge banner which read 'Support these homeless children. A little of your money means so much for these kids.' Underneath the banner stood about 7 children dressed in shaggy clothes with bruises on their skin. Jamal was really upset. He loved children & was disappointed when he saw that these orphaned children were not given good clothes or proper nutrition. He stood there watching the kids not realising that his dog had wandered off aimlessly from him & had gone for a stroll in the park by itself. After some time, when Jamal turned his head he saw that Tommy was no longer with him. Poor Jamal was near the verge of tears. Tommy was his favourite dog & even though it was a menace most of the time he really loved the dog as it had always been of great help. Jamal ran around the park in search of his dog but it was in vain. Tired, he sat down on the beach with his head low. Just then, a small girl approached him with Tommy in her hands. Jamal recognised the girl as one of the orphaned kids under the banner. The girl asked, 'Hello there sir, is this cute dog yours?' Jamal was happy to see his dog & replied by saying that it was indeed his & then carressed the dog in his arms. The little girl stood there watching the reunion with a smile on her face. Jamal turned around at her & asked 'Where did you find my dog?' The girl replied 'I found him walking in the park without an owner. I understood it was a tamed dog loved by its owner by the way it behaved. So then I started searching for the owner & that's you. How nice must it be to be loved by someone.' Her last words stung Jamal. He became really upset by hearing the words & seeing the girl's condition. Jamal at once took the girl's hand & went to the place where the huge banner stood. He asked the authorities if he could adopt the little girl. When the authorities agreed, Jamal took the girl to his home. Though Jamal liked children, he didn't have any. So, even his wife was happy to see the little girl. She took the girl in as her own daughter. The girl was delighted. She was happy that she now had a family where people as well as a dog loved her. They now lived together as a happy family.
