DATE

DAY

DEAR DIARY,

I still remember the morning my father went to check the signal lamp. That morning I was asleep and when I woke up my father was about to leave to check the lampstand. The area where he had his duty was rumored about a tiger called 'man-eater'. When he went to the lampstand he heard the voice of the tiger and started sharpening his ax as my father used to carry an ax. When the tiger leaped on him, my father attacked the tiger with the ax on his shoulder. In this fight, my father was also attacked by the tiger that killed him. I still can't believe what happened with me.

I am feeling devasted. I was very sacred. The only thing I was thinking all the time was what will happen to us now.

I told about the incident to my mother. she was in deep shock. We can't change what happened with us but ,

Now, I have taken that job after my father's death as we had to survive and my father was the sole provider of our family. I hope to be as brave as my father.

Answer 2

Baldeo’s family was plunged into grief for two whole days after Baldeo died in the tiger attack. However, life had to go on and the entire responsibility of supporting the family now fell on Tembu. Three nights later, he was at the cutting, lighting the signal-lamp for the overland mail. He sat down in the darkness to wait for the train, and sang softly to himself. He was not afraid of anything, for his father had killed the tiger, and he had his father’s axe with him which he knew how to use.

hope help u mate ✌
