Ronn and his pet lamb Ben
Ronn was an eight year old boy whose mother had died when he was born. His father was a veterinary doctor and was bringing Ronn up single handed. Ronn always accompanied his father to his chamber and helped him treat the animals. Two years ago a pregnant sheep had come to deliver her lamb. Unfortunately the kid survived but the mother died. Ronn brought the lamb home and nursed it with his old feeding bottle. Soon the lamb grew up and he named him Ben.
Ben became a part of their family. He accompanied Ron everywhere. One day a gang of robbers came to Ron’s village. They wanted to robe rich old Mrs. Khaitan. The old lady lived alone and was very rich. As the robbers tied her up and placed a gun against her head, Ronn and Ben entered her house to deliver some medicines for her sick parrot Tota.
Seeing Ronn, the robbers jumped on him and tied him also. They did not notice Ben. Ben slipped out and ran home. There he tugged at Ronn’s father’s shirt sleeves and bleated continuously. Sensing something strange, Ronn’s father took a few villagers and ran after Ben. They soon came to Mrs. Khaitan’s residence and pinned the robbers down. Thus clever little Ben had saved his master and Mrs. Khaitan’s life.
