The Little Boy in the Cave

By Mrs. Chandra Amerasekare

Set in the coastal town of Mirissa, Sri Lanka, the story follows Simon and his young son, Samudra, who narrowly escapes the devastating 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami by chance, while his mother is tragically lost to the waves. With their home destroyed, Simon and Samudra find shelter in a cave on a cliff, where the boy becomes known as "the little boy from the cave."

As they struggle to rebuild their lives, Simon fights to secure Samudra an education. Samudra excels, drawing the admiration of Arundathi, a wealthy girl whose father strongly disapproves of their bond. When Samudra is offered a scholarship to study medicine in New Delhi, Arundathi urges him to follow his dreams-promising their story isn't over yet.
