Mahesh Saves the Slum

Mahesh was a poor but brave rickshaw puller. He lived in a slum with his wife and children. One day, he was having lunch when there was a loud noise from their neighbour’s house. The woman who lived next door came running out, screaming ‘fire’! The gas cylinder in her house had started leaking. Now her house was also starting to burn. The fire started when she lit a match stick to turn the burner on. The kitchen contained leaking gas. She needed help. Mahesh knew that in a few minutes the cylinder would explode, and there would be a huge fire. The fire would spread very fast. The whole slum could be destroyed. He ran into his neighbour’s house and pulled out the burning cylinder. He dragged it to an abandoned tank near by and threw it inside. The cylinder exploded with great force. By then the people had put out the fire in the neighbour’s house. Mahesh’s arms were burned but thanks to his bravery the slum was safe.
