Answer:
The Meeting Pool' is a beautiful short story written by Ruskin Bond about three friends who take a pledge to return to their favourite pool after ten years. The best part of their childhood revolves around a pool, which was discovered by Rusty (the narrator of the story) and thus came to be known as Rusty's pool. As soon as Rusty discovered the pool near the ravine, he was excited to convey the news to his two friends. The secret pool became their meeting point. They indulged in activities like fishing, swimming, wrestling and buffalo rides. The pool not only symbolized the bond of friendship between them but also became a part of their consciousness. They decide to return on a fifth of April 1964 at midday, i.e. ten years later to the pool again. Rusty keeps up his word and comes to the pool. Rusty was the only one who went to the pool on the scheduled day. He was disappointed that his friends did not keep up their promise. However, there is no bitterness or rancour as he understands that with the passage of time, their needs and priorities. To his amazement, he discovers another pool and another group of friends splashing about in it. He imagines himself and his friends in their place. The story thus conveys the message that life goes on, come what may.
Full story:
It was Somi's idea that we should meet at the pool in ten years time.
“When we are men,” he said, “we must come back to this place. Ten years from today, Rusty-at midday on the fifth of April 1964-we must return to the pool. No matter where we are, or what we are doing, or if we are married and have children, we must meet at the pool. Promise?”
“Promise,” I said.
“Promise,” said Anil.
It was a schoolboy's pledge, and made in deadly earnest. As boys, we usually mean the things we say. And so we shook hands on it, and dived back into the water. The pool had been discovered by me a few months earlier. I remember that it was going to rain... I could see the rain moving across the foothills, and I could smell it on the breeze. But instead of turning homewards, I pushed my way through the leaves and brambles that grew across the forest path. I had heard the murmur of water at the bottom of the hill, and I wanted to see the water and touch it.
