24 Shrawan, 2072

Barpak, Gorkha.

Dear friend Rani,

I received your letter yesterday. I am sorry to hear about your village. Flood
destroyed the crops and fields. Many villagers had become homeless.
But, I am proud of you that you and your friends have collected clothes,
foods and money from your school and donated them to the flood victims.
Nedless to say, we should help each other during disasters. As you know,
I am also an earthquake victim.

Natural disasters such as landslide, flood,
earthquake, etc. usually put us in trouble.
We cannot stop them. But, we can
minimize the big losses caused by such
disasters. For example, we should plant
trees at the bank of rivers and the barren
hills around us. So, the negative effects
of flood and landslide can be reduced.
Besides these, we should not play with
fire during windy seasons, mostly in the
months of Chaitra and Baisakh. Our minor
mistake or carelessness may cause the entire village to face the unwanted

danger. We have already experienced such accidents in past.
Rani as you told you had suffered from flood recently. Let me tell you that
we had been the victim of an earthquake.
