Bina works as a maid in her masters’ house. Everyday she leaves for there almost before dawn. While leaving her small hut Bina leaves her one month old baby alone confined inside that small hut. Bina keeps only one security for the kid a luminous flickering light of a lamp inside the room and a small ordinary lock on it’s door of aluminium sheet.
The innocent kid remains happy with that illuminant lamp in her mother’s absence and she constantly keeps playing by instinctive actions with the light.
That ill fated baby lost her father just before her birth. That man was a blacksmith who just out of poverty lacked any medical support and lost life in his disease. Hence forth Bina started keeping struggled with her bad luck.
However, it was going on very smooth and happy since after the baby’s birth.
That day after Bina left the baby locked in the hut some smothering dark smoke billowing from the gaps of the aluminium door. A monkey who was very loyal to Bina and Bina also was very fond of the monkey, didn’t miss this fatal scene to watch. It without any delay clambered the thatched roof of the cottage to tear the hays away and slided on the hut’s muddy floor. The monkey clinging the baby in it’s grip very firmly again started clambering out of the cottage…..yes, accidentally the lamp overturned on the baby’s bed which slowly started getting burnt to ashes.
In the mean time Bina came back home and found the hut on engulfing fire but she found her baby nowhere. She got scared to look around all sides. At last she started crying aloud by calling her baby’s name ”Putul Putul, where have gone my baby? Come back come back my daughter…”
Suddenly Bina could sense someone getting down behind from the jamun tree. Bina stared back to see her kid in the grip of that loyal generous monkey coming down from the tree. Now the monkey handed over the baby to Bina and Bina now hugged the monkey to give thanks to it and started feeding the thirsty baby.
