THE CHANGING WORLD
Somewhere in a jungle, there lived a boy named CARL LEAN.
He lived with his family in the middle of a jungle. His family consisted
Of seven members including his mother, father, Carl, her sister Castor and
His grandparents. When Carl grew up to a child's age his mother sent
him to a school. His school was in a close city, but the school was located
in the middle of the city. Carl faced many problems in going to his school,
firstly there were many problems with the transport, no bus or van came
in that jungle to pick him up Carl. Second his parents were very afraid about
sending Carl alone. His sister was very small to go to the school with Carl so
that he would have company of someone. The last problem was that the school
teaching was very expensive and Carl's family came in the middle of rich and
poor. But, then also his parents managed to pay the school fee. One day,
Carl's dad came to him and said that they cannot afford the school
fee any longer. So, after Carl's ninth class his father didn't sent him to
school. He said that he would go to the school after one year. Carl asked
his father why but his father didn't tell him. After some days Carl
heard his parent’s conversation. After hearing that the family cannot
afford to send him to school anymore, he cried quietly and remain
standing there. When his parent's conversation was over he knew what
he had to do. From that day on his parents noticed a difference in him.
He stayed out from home for long he went in from the morning and
returned at night. After two months Carl left home and setteled in the city
alone.HIs parents thought that he was dead.Knowing this,they lost all the hope and happiness.They settled in a city far awaw from the jungle. The close city
expanded itself.They cleaned all the jungle.Carl was in the hope to surprise his
parents by going in front of them graduated from a college. When Carl reached
his older home, he got in a shock. The whole jungle was cleaned and there was a
large buildings on place of his house. He returned to his apartment and spent
half of his money in finding his family but he didn't got any success. That
night he had a dream of his family being killed while the bulldozers were
tearing tree apart. He saw in his dream that his old house with his
family were stomped, crashed and blasted. He thought that he was a orphan
now.He donated much of his money to poor people and lived with the
rest of the money. In the opposite far city his parents were very much
discriminated, so they moved in the city where Carl was living. Carl’s
father was a news reporter. When Carl saw his father on the television,
he felt so happy and screamed in joy saying ”I am not an orphan”.
Indeed that very moment Carl checked the phone directory of the
T.V station and he found his father’s number but there was no adress
given. He returned to his apartment and called his father. His father
was delighted hearing Carl’s voice. Carl took his father’s address and his
father took Carl’s address. Carl packed all of his bags and money, he pick up

from the other way. After a steep cut both of the cars were moving in very high speed. Unfortunately, Carl’s car and his family car both collasped in each
other and there occurred a very big explosion which can be seen from a far
away. Carl lost the opportunity to meet his family again and the Carl’s family
