6-year-old boy who took chicken he mistakenly ran over with bike to hospital gets honoured

A young Indian boy named Derek Lalchhanhima has won over the admiration of many people with his action. He was said to have offered 10 rupees to medical staff to help a chick he had accidentally hit with his bike. This deed of genuine concern was recognised after a family friend posted a photo taken by nurse on Facebook.

Derek C. Lalchhanhima who hails from Sairang in the northeastern Indian state of Mizoram begged hospital staff to save a chick he had accidentally ran over with his bike and this has made him a viral internet sensation in India.

In a photo, he was pictured holding the dead bird in one hand and a 10-rupee note - all the money he had - in the other with which he hoped to convince the hospital to treat a chicken which was already dead.

It was said by family friends that the concerned young lad had first begged his parents did not to take it to hospital. In the end, he took the dead body to the doctors himself. As he got there, a nurse could not help but fall in love with his sad face. She pictured his expression in a photo, shared it and it has since gone viral.

The post was also seen by Derek's school in India's Mizoram State and many were so impressed with his compassion that they handed him an award certificate for his kindness.

Another family friend Sanga Says posted the photo on Facebook after Derek's father Dhiraj Chhetri, a police officer, showed it to him and told him the heartwarming story. "I'm laughing and crying all at the same time. He did not understand that the chick is dead and begged his parents to take it to the hospital. His father told him to go himself, which he did with ten rupees,"" he wrote.

Eventually, the hospital staff told Derek they could not help the poor bird. Upon hearing this, he returned home in tears. But this did not deter the young boy. He was determined to go back and get help again, this time with 100 rupees in his hand.

Mr Sanga said his parents had to step in. They "had to explain to him that the chick is dead and that there's nothing they can do at the hospital."

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
