Gillu - Long Answer Question

The narrator gently lifted the squirrel up from the ground and brought it to her room and wiped the flood from his wound try by using cotton wool and applied pencillin ointment. The narrator tried to feed the squirrel by somehow putting a thin cotton wool wick, to dip in milk in his mouth but the squirrel was unable to open his mouth and drips of milk only slid down from both sides but after few hours the narrator tended to manage to pour one drop of water in his mouth. But on the 3rd day, he becomes much better and assured that he would use his two tiny claws to hold her finger and gaze all around with his blue glass beads like eyes and in 3-4 months, the squirrel astonished everyone with his smooth fur, hushy tail and naughty, refiuegent eyes.

When the poetess (the story writer) found the tiny baby squirrel, lying wounded on the flower-pot in her verandah, first, she Washed the blood from his wounds with cotton wool and applied pencillin ointment over it. A light-weight flower-basket was used as a nest to reside him. It was fitted on the window. He was given all sorts of delicious and nutrient food mostly kaju and biscuits as his meal. The story writer gave him full affection. He even dared to eat in her plate. She had immense intimacy with him. When she did sit to write down, he used to attract her attention by his naughty acts. She was highly pleased with his funny behavior and loving him like her son. Thus the reason behind Gillu’s being hale and hearty was his utmost care, ruitrious food and the affection of the story-writer.

The story-writer had saved his life. She had given all possible comforts and pleasure of life to him. She had an extraordinary affection for him. He even dared to eat in her plate: He was provided with Kaju, biscuits and all sorts of nuitrient and delicious food to eat. Gillu became very’ familiar to her. When she would sit down to work he used to attract her attention by his naughty acts sitting closer to her feet. Sometimes the story-writer, out of joke used to hold Gifu and put his tiny figure in a long envelope.

All these facts suggest that Gillu was so much influenced by her compassionate fealings for him that during her indisposition he used to become aggrieved. He wanted to share her illness. He did not like anything during the period of her indisposition. So, he was taking little food at that time. It also suggests that all the animals and birds have a compassionate feeling. So even the tiny baby squirrel, Gillu had naturally such feeling and excessive attachment as well as love for the story writer.

Yes, I have got a parrot as my pet bird. I have kept it in a cage. It has got deep intimacy with me and my other family members. Even if I get him out of the cage it does not fly away and comes closer to me. It could touch my feet by its beak showing its love. A few months back, when I was sitting on the hanging chair in my garden, suddenly. I saw a little baby parrot lying on the ground. Perhaps it had fallen from the mango tree. I quickly went there and found it injured. The blood was coming of its little body. I nicely lifted him up and brought it in my room. Washing the blood from its body. I applied some ointment over the wounds. I could manage to pour a few drops of water in its mouth. It became alright within a couple of months.

During day time I arranged its cage in the garden. In the evening, it is shifted in my room. It is very fond of taking bread etc. It would inform me by twittering “chik-chik” when hungry. Whenever I return from my school and open my room, it will express its pleasure by twittering “chik-chik”. During the period of my indisposition it becomes sad and expresses its concern by, twitering in a peculiar manner. If it (parrot) would be kept out of its cage, it will come to me and sit beside me to show its concern relating to my indisposition. I have also great love and attachment with him.

Gillu spent two years with the story-writer living in a flower-basket hung on the window as his nest. She was very much perturbed by his death because he was so much closely associated with her. Whenever she was present in her room he would sit near her feet or remain on the table leaning the wall, for hours and watch her activities with his eyes. She had also never dreamt of his being separated. But after two years of his association with her, he took his last breath.

The story-writer witnessed his departure from this world from her own f eyes. She was highly aggrieved by his death. It shocked her much. Gillu was buried under the Sonjuhi creeper because he loved the creaper most and because of her satisfaction. It is her believe that some day she will find him flowering and blossoming in the outward form of a tiny yellow. Juhi flower. Thus it is observed that she was so much aggrieved, as if she had lost her own son. Which was really genuine and but natural.

One morning when the writer entered the verandah from her room, she saw.two crows were pushing sharply their beaks in a funny manner at the flowerpots as if engaged in the game of hide and seek. All of a sudden she saw a tiny baby squirrel lying hidden in the middle of the wall and the flower pot, who must have fallen down from a nest. The tiny baby squirrel sustained two wounds due to the violent attack by the pair of crows.

She gently lifted him up and brought in her room. She first wiped the blood from the wounds and then applied penicillin ointment. Then she tried to feed him milk with the help of a thin cotton-piece. He became alright in thrte-four months. He was named Gillu. She arranged a flower basket, which was hung on the window to be used as his nest. It had become his new residence. She took his all care.

He was provided Kaju, biscuits etc as his meal. He became very familiar to her. Whenever the writer was doing something in her room he used to sit near her feet. Gillu died in about two years. The writer was greatly aggrieved by his death. His body was buried under the Sonjuhi creeper. She was so much loving him that she believed to find him flowering and bloosoming in the outward form of a yellow “Juhi” flower in the next spring season. Thus the writer had given him her motherly affection and care as if he was his son. I shall also express the same gesture of love as the writer had shown with Gillu. I have got very much compassionate feeling for all living beings. There is a pet puppy in my house to whom, I am loving most.
