Long ago in Indus Valley, there was a city called Harappa. It was the capital of Indus Valley. In Harappa, there lived two brothers called Indran and Aryan. Both brothers were humble, kind, clever and very brave. They lived with their parents and grandmother. Their father was a craftsman. He made many toys with wood and clay. Their father made and gave a few toys to Indran and Aryan. Indran and Aryan enjoyed playing with the toys. The brothers helped their parents in their daily chores. They had a happy life.

Aryan and Indran lived with their parents in a beautiful house made of clay and mud blocks. Their house had beautiful carvings on its walls and they had a huge well. Their house was near the Indus River, which flowed through their city. There was a big market that sold pots, fruits, vegetables and clothes. Their village was surrounded by a dense forest, lakes and huge mountains.

One evening, it was raining very heavily. Aryan and Indran couldn’t play with their friends, Arjuna and Dhrona.

Aryan said, “Oh brother! Now that it’s raining, we can’t go and play with our friends.”   

Indran said, “Well, our luck is bad today.”

Then Aryan said, “Hey, let’s play in the rain!”

Indran said, “Yes, let’s play in the rain!” The brothers went out to play in the rain. It was raining so heavily that nothing was visible.

The brothers were completely blinded. They did not know where to go. The brothers just ran and ran and found themselves in the forest.

“Oh no! We are lost in the forest!” Aryan said.

“I am very sleepy. I am going to sleep here,” Indran said. Both the brothers slept on the forest floor. The next day, Aryan and Indran started walking when they heard a sound, “Drip, sss, shsh!”

“Oh I can hear water! Let’s go and drink it!” said Aryan.

“Yes, let’s go,” said Indran. The brothers followed the sound and found a stream of water. They drank some water and continued to walk.

The brother came across a hill. They climbed the hill and found a farm on the other side. They ran through the farm and saw a few houses. They ran towards the houses where they found their friends and parents. The brothers were so glad to see them that they never left their village again.
