the window-wall

It was a gloomy afternoon. In front of a big wall there is a window. A little girl is sitting there facing the window. On the body of the wall there are many small plants that have grown on their own. She was wondering, "Wow, there are so many plants. How do they grow there! We never water them and there is no soil on the body of the wall. Then how?"

While she was lost in her own thoughts then someone entered the room. She called the girl by her name, "Rahi! Are you even listening to me? Why are you up? I told you to sleep quietly." The girl didn't reply. Then the woman went near her and tapped on her shoulder. The girl silently moved her head towards her and said, "Sorry I didn't listen to you. But why were you in uncle's room mama?" The woman stepped back with a shocking expression on her face. And asked her while shuttering, "H..how do you know that? Y..you went there? B..but the d..door was closed! How on earth..." She couldn't complete her sentence. The little girl said without being nervous,"No. I never went there. I just saw that in my dream. And when I woke up you were not here. And when you entered the room I heard your thoughts."

That woman looked puzzled and shocked. She went near her and held her both shoulders with her hands and asked,"Are you telling me the truth? You really didn't go there? No, that's not important right now. Have you told anyone about this? Tell me only the truth Rahi." She glared at her. The little girl said nonchalantly,"I have not said anything to anyone. But why mummy? What will happen if I tell anyone about this?"

That woman looked at her for some time then she let go of her shoulders and sat beside her. Then she said,"My dear, if anyone listens to this nonsense then they will think you are mad. I mean how can anyone dream about an incident that is happening, and how can anyone hear others thoughts? Tell me will anyone believe in you? And you know what will happen then!"

"What will happen mama?",she asked timidly. "Then no-one will play with you and talk with you. You will never have a friend. So don't even utter this kind of imaginary thing in front of others. Okay dear?", the woman said and kissed the girl's forehead. With teary eyes Rahi said,"Okay mama. I will never talk about my dreams to anyone."

Then her mother left the room. Rahi was wondering,"Why did she lie to me! I heard her thoughts clearly. She was thinking if I tell about this to papa or granny then she will be in danger. Ofcourse, I do not want mama to get in trouble because of me. So I am not gonna talk to anyone about this."

She noticed the outside of the window it started to rain. And she realized that's how the plants get water from Nature. Then she thought,"But what about the soil?"
