Summary — The Fight

Ranji had recently moved to Rajpur and spent his summer roaming the nearby forests
because school had not opened yet and he had no friends. One day, he discovered a
beautiful, clear forest pool, very different from the dirty, muddy pools he had seen in the
Rajputana desert. He loved the pool and came again the next day to swim.

While relaxing on a rock, Ranji noticed another boy staring at him angrily. This boy was
older, bigger, and hostile, and claimed that the pool belonged only to him. Ranji refused to
be scared, and soon both boys started arguing, calling themselves a Warrior and a Fighter.
Their pride led to a physical fight. They slapped, punched, and rolled into the water, but
after several minutes of wild struggling, neither won. They finally agreed to continue the
fight the next day.

Ranji reached home bruised and struggled to hide the fight marks. Still, he returned to the
pool the next day because not going would mean accepting defeat. The other boy, Suraj,
was already there and challenged him again. Instead of fighting immediately, Ranji
showed off his excellent swimming and diving skills. Suraj was amazed because he could
not dive or swim underwater. Ranji taught him patiently, and Suraj began to admire him.

Slowly, their anger disappeared. They talked, laughed, and shared things about
themselves. Suraj told Ranji that he wanted to be a champion wrestler and promised to
make Ranji strong too. They decided to become friends and claimed the pool together,
saying no one else could use it without their permission.

By the end, the two boys realised that cooperation was better than fighting. Their rivalry
turned into a strong friendship, and Ranji felt proud because he had “won” by gaining a
friend instead of defeating an enemy.
