The story is about a boy named Ranji who had just shifted to a new place. It was a hot summer day and he was walking in the forest as usual in his vest and shorts. Then one day he discovered a pool in the forest with translucent water, smooth pebbles at the bottom. He was seeing such a clean pool for the first time so he jumped in to swim. Next day when he was swimming in the same pool, he noticed a boy staring at him in a quite angry way. The boy was taller and more broad in comparison. He enquired what he was doing there in his pool. He also told he was a warrior and would not entertain such villagers. Ranji also told he was a fighter. Both involved in an argument and at a point, the toleration limit was crossed and the warrior slapped hard on Ranji's face. Ranji too punched him in return. Then they got involved in a full fight. They grabbed throat, tumbled, rolled, cursed, struggled. They fought even in the pool. It continued for few minutes but nobody won actually. They were exhausted and breathing heavily. They both decided to continue the fight the next day. Ranji went home and could not explain the bruises on his body to his mother. He went to bazaar for a lemonade and jalebis when he saw the warrior coming towards him. They both stared each other and the warrior went.Next day Ranji was tired from last day's fight but he found the warrior sitting on the other side of the pool oiling his body. The warrior asked him to come to the other side and fight. The same challenge was given by Ranji. Then again warrior challenged him. Ranji took a dive into water and reached the other side. The warrior was surprised by the way he dove. Ranji offered him to teach him how to dive. The warrior took a failed attempt. Again Ranji dove and circled him inside water. The warrior again took an attempt to swim under water but failed. Ranji told he could teach him if he liked. They both sat on the rock and introduced each other for the first time. The warrior's name was Suraj. Ranji informed Suraj that he is strong like pahelwan. Suraj wished to become the world's champion wrestler. He told Ranji that he is strong but lean and he needs to have good food with him and drink milk. He told if Ranji taught him swimming, he would make him a pahelwan. They both became friends from that day.
