The man thanked me greatly and went away towards the bus stand. After two days, I was to come back. I took a taxi from my uncle’s house and came to the bus stand. Suddenly I saw the same man talking to another man. I overheard their talk. This man was again requesting a person for money. He told him also that his pocket had been picked up and he had no money for bus fare to Jalandhar. When I approached this cheat, he ran away. In this way, I was cheated.

My Experience At The Nss Camp
Last year, I attended the NSS Camp at village Kashipur. This camp was organised by the NSS unit of our school. The aim of the camp was to educate the villagers about cleanliness and adult education. The duration of the camp was fifteen days. We found that the villagers were illiterate. We taught them how to read and write. We met the Zamindar of the village. His name was Shibu Babu.
We asked him to work for the welfare of the villagers. We taught the villagers how to keep their streets neat and clean. We went into the houses of many persons. We also met Gafur. He was a very poor villager. But he was a kind man. He offered us tea. We enjoyed our NSS camp greatly. Time flew very fast. At last, the camp came to end and we returned to our homes.

A number of organizations came to the help of the flood-affected people. A number of camps were organised. Here, people were given free food, shelter and medicines.

A Visit To A Historical Place (From: Sheetal)
Last week, I went to Agra with one of my friends. We saw many buildings there. We went to see the Red Fort and the buildings at Fatehpur Sikri. But I was charmed by the beauty of the Taj Mahal. We saw the Taj in a full moon night. This glorious building was shining beautifully. Inside the Taj, there are graves of Shah Jahan and his queen Mumtaz Mahal.
Shah Jahan built this great building in the memory of his queen. When he died, he was also buried in the Taj. This grand building stands on the bank of the river Yamuna. The marble for the Taj Mahal was brought from Rajasthan. Every year a great number of tourists from all over the world come to see the Taj Mahal. The Agra City itself is not beautiful. The streets of the old city are narrow and dirty. But Agra is world-famous because of the Taj Mahal.
