"A Mysterious Old Map......"


It is time for adventure and fun activities as Rohan's summer vacations started from today onwards. This time, he decided to go to an old house near his home. There lived an old man who is quite learned and a man of Wisdom. He had many wonderful stories to tell. One afternoon, Rohan entered inside his house. He saw the old man reading a book. To him, he, the old man looked familiar but he could not recognise him. Rohan greeted him with Namaste and told him that he lived near his house. The old man looked at his face and responded with a smile, "Yes, yes, I know you very well. You are the son of Mr Rajesh. Tell me why you come here?" 
Rohan replied, "I came to know that you are quite learned and a man of Wisdom. That's why I want to talk to you." The old man asked, "What kind of things you like to talk?" Rohan replied, "I want to know about great Indian warriors and I am in search of an ancient book which has the record of the fights of all the brave Indian warriors of past."
Apprently, the old man showed a serious gesture. He told Rohan, "Wait I have something for you." By saying this, he moved inside a dingy room. After two minutes, he brought an old map. He gave the map to Rohan and said, "This is a mysterious map. With the help of it, you will find the ancient book having all the stories of great Indian warriors." By receiving it, Rohan felt quite excited and thrilled. He showed his reverence to the old man and left the place. 
Next day, he told his mom and dad about the mysterious map and sought permission from them so that he could find out the ancient book. In the beginning, his parents were reluctant to allow him but later, they allowed him with a condition that his elder brother Aryan would also accompany him in this venture. Rohan agreed. Next morning, both Rohan and Aryan started their journey for the search of an Ancient book in a motor bike. Rohan read the map and told Aryan about the direction to follow. By following the mentioned directions, they reached near an old and dilapidated castle. Initially, they frightened to see the haunted and isolated place. Rohan told Aryan to go back home but Aryan refused. However, Aryan too was frightened but he resisted and told Rohan that they must complete their venture. 
Finally, they both went inside. When they entered, Rohan was perplexed and scared. He saw the same old man holding the Ancient Book of Indian Warriors there. The old man smiled and told, "So finally you completed your journey." Rohan asked the old man, "How can you be in two different places at the same time?" The old man told him that he died many years before but his soul didn't get salvation because he didn't get any responsible person who could preserve this Ancient Book. He further told, "Aryan and Rohan, you both are worthy to safeguard the legacy of Indian Warriors' History because only a brave man can truly be an honest man and you both are brave. So take this book and follow the same direction as mentioned in the mysterious map." They carried the book and came back to their home in the next morning. They showed the book to their parents and told them about their mysterious venture. But the parents were surprised to see them. They said, "About which book you both are talking, we can't see any book in your hands?"
