The Jungle Hospital by Saroj Mukherjee

The Jungle Hospital by Saroj Mukherjee is a touching story about a grandmother named Amma who runs a hospital for injured animals in the forest. Her grandson visits her during his holidays and helps take care of the animals. A young fawn with a bullet wound becomes the centre of attention. With the help of Bapi, a doctor, they treat the fawn. The story shows the importance of kindness, care, and respect for animals.

In the gentle embrace of sunrise, an elderly woman sits serenely in a village courtyard, feeding birds that joyfully flit around. Nearby, a water tub and small animal enclosures add to the peaceful atmosphere, as nature comes alive with morning songs.

Amma lives in a peaceful village called Madhopur. Every morning, birds gather in her courtyard, chirping joyfully. Amma feeds them with love and care. Her home is not just a house—it’s a hospital for animals!

One day, Amma finds a little fawn lying weakly by the stream. He is hurt and cannot walk. Amma gently lifts him and brings him home to care for him.

Amma keeps the fawn in a special room with soft grass. A white rabbit peeks from behind a pile of hay. The animals feel safe and warm in Amma’s jungle hospital.

Bapi, a kind doctor, sterilizes his tools and treats the fawn’s wound. Amma holds the fawn’s head in her lap. The narrator helps by handing over bandages and warm water. It’s a team effort!

Bapi gently removes a bullet from the fawn’s back. Amma is shocked. "Who would hurt such a gentle creature?" she asks sadly. The fawn was not harmed by nature—but by humans.

After days of care, the fawn begins to recover. He steps into the courtyard, where the rabbit and birds welcome him. Amma smiles with joy—another life healed in her jungle hospital.
