1. A potter & a washer man were two close friends those started
their lives since birth till now of their ages respectively of
twenty four & twenty five .Both daily woke up early in morning
to make new attractive pots for entire township which was
potter’s job & to wash & dry clean dirty clothes of families of
that area which was the job of washer man .
Potter’s hobby after getting free of his pottery work was to
search new thingsaround him ,to read fiction & to think deeply
on these topics whereas washer man liked outing for lakes,
hills, forests to know more about nature & atmosphere.
Washer man was alwaysseen busy in free hours in reading for
pollution,sun, moon, layers of gases in atmosphere seems may
be studied from scientific subject in school ,college, in contrast
potter ‘s hobby depicted that he must be educated with
literature .Two educated men but opted simple works as career
to run their families ,so being a washer man , was expert in
recognize the techniques of clothes knitting,weaving, type of
fabric either it is silk ,rayon, cotton ,woolen so it can make his
work perfect by selection of soaps ,detergents & appropriate
technique& methods which he may choose only by touching
clothes on fingers tips.
2. Another man potter was having perfection in identify clay &
soil types so that can designed attractive pots, art works.
When it would be night hours, both friends were dressed in a
way that they were identifiedas a washer man & potter.
Same their houses were well identified from far by clothes
horse with hanging clothes while these get dried. His wife was
roam around that courtyard to protect those from get stolen by
thieves, after being dried, she wrap all in a big sheet to iron
those for kept ready to return to their customers with
reasonablewashing charges as his earning for family needs so
looked more satisfied & trying for earn more than present
alwaysto buy new things for family, to made his house more
sophisticated .
Potter with his wife dailyworked in their small pottery was an
shaded area around his house which was an attraction of
buyers came to buy dished ,pots, mugs, plates, toys, art pieces.
His wife painted on pots & other objects to decorate with more
beautifullook after those get dried so can be sold in best price
as well.
Both families once, twice or thrice had dinner together , both
wives cooked different variety of roasted, fried , boiled meal
for whole family of their choices . Like a restaurant style ,they
enjoy till late night keeping continue talks for hours on different
3. topics, potter was describe about his book reading on fiction as
his favorite whereas washer man was describe aboutscientific
searches, days passed & once both families with dinner in same
way ,far in dark sky ,bluishmoon appearedshining in between
clouds .Washer man’s vision was so keen & he suddenly
watched a falling star keep continuetalking on comets,
galaxies, tides & eclipses.
Washer man & potter friend moved & reached very close to
that shining moon in few seconds where rocks & valleyson
moon landin front of their eyes to felt like walking on moon
surface where potter was testing soil in shadow of rocks on
ablaze moon with emitted silver colored light rays as an
astronaut do. This moon was absolutelycool & brighter than
Now here they left acacia tree far back in warm jungle where
small yellow flowers on them was assuming like tiny drops of
water .Acid rain showers stopped falling seems like whole
jungle would be captured by this lighted moon so that entire
environment was assumed completely neat & clean.
Both friends shake their handswith commitment of healthy &
clean environment all around making that night memorable
once on that blue moon.
On returning from there having fresh memories of
moon surface soil smell stuck a back cloth on moon painted
4. with beautifulsceneries & ventilatedhouses so that it looked
like a stage where back cloth fixed by them had signature to
promise in words ‘save environment’ unforgettable moments
Spent by potter’s real soil testing never did before it & for
washer man as real wash of pollutedplanetonce on a blue
moon.
