Night Fair on the River Dock

While decorating the riverside stage under moonlight, Nira exclaimed, 'This damn plug slipped again!' They fixed the event date for next Friday. Nira's dear friend Arif delivered the printed banners. To clear the group's old debt, they first repaid the neighborhood shop. They called it their best deed of the year. Arif said, 'No one should deny their fear; get on the stage and speak.' During sound checks they munched on light diet snacks to keep energy up. Children giggled as they dropped every dime into the donation box. Labannya played an old disc while rehearsing songs. The swimmers marked a safe dive zone before jumping in. At dusk they hung lights along the river dock. Little Naushin waited with her favorite doll for story time. Doctors at the health camp explained a small dose of vitamins. To manage the crowd, Sumi placed tape and painted a down arrow on the floor. The artists had kids draw posters about saving the river. The nightly session covered anti-drug facts. Workshops ran on a dual track—art on one side, health on the other. A curious duck suddenly waddled onto the pier. Arif laughed, 'We will never let the event go dull.' In the end everyone vowed, 'We won't label any idea as dumb.'
