The dam said,"OK, I will let you go. But first, you have to be a friend of mine. I don't have any friends. " I said,"OK, I am Godavari. What's your name, my friend?" The dam replied," My name is  Sriram Sagar." "Oh,it looks like that you are a very famous dam." "Yes, I am a dam belonging to Telangana. Hey, can I call you Gautami?" "OK, can I call you Pochampadu?" OK, bye Gautami!" "Bye, Pochampadu!" Next, I flowed away to a village. Some naughty boys threw pebbles on me. But. the pebbles didn't hurt me. Suddenly, a boy trip...
