The Stone Boy (TV series)

Ajith and his sister Archana have to shift to a new country as their father's job gets transferred for an year to write about the history of Mauritius. They get admitted to a new school. Initially they find it difficult to befriend their new classmates and end up fighting with Bholu and his group. They seem envious of Ajit and are not ready to accept him and try to bully him always. During a school mountain trekking event Ajit learns of a mountain called Stone Boy as a big stone on the top of the mountain resembles a rock. The rumors were that whosoever goes to the mountain vanishes. During that night, Ajit climbs that mountain and sings a song "Aaa gaya hoon paas tere, chod ke sab yaar mere, karle mujhse dosti, Stone Boy". Miraculously a friendly boy appears in front. The stone boy immediately befriends Ajit and informs him that he had been cursed and every 50 years he would appear for only three days only by a call from true heart of friendship. Ajit asks Stone boy about his story and Stone boy recites that long, long time ago his name was Dhinu and was son of a poor farmer/milkman. He was very wise. He owned a cow and selling that cow's milk was his only source of income. Every day he used to milk his cow and went selling that milk. One day when he was returning home from his business, he saw a group of very beautiful fairies who were dancing and singing. He saw their whole "leela" by hiding behind a large stone. Eventually a fairy happened to see him. The head of the fairies got very angry and gives order to kill the stone boy. But the poor boy pleads for forgiveness. One of the fairy feels pity on him, and asks for forgiveness to the head fairly. As the curse could not be taken back thus the Head fairy asks stone boy to make a promise of not telling about the fairies to anyone and that would in turn give him riches else he would turn into stone and only once in 50 years for three days he would turn back to life. The fairy says "From now onward, you will get prosperous. All your problems will get solved. But only while you keep this secret that we fairies visit this place on earth. You shall have to keep this secret. If you ever tell this to anyone, all your prosperity will be lost and you will get transformed into a stone. You can only appear on being called as a normal human being once in fifty years, for just three days. After three days of your coming back to humans you shall again be transformed into stone for another fifty years waiting for someone to call you. This would be your punishment for not keeping our secret."

As days pass Dhinu starts getting rich as his cow starts giving more milk. This makes the villagers jealous and envious of Dhinu and family. The villagers decide to find the truth. One day during his return from work Dhinu is stopped by the villagers and they threaten to beat him and his family. Fearing this Dhinu starts telling the truth about fairies and no sooner than he utters the secret his body is transformed into a stone of arbitrary shape. That mountain has been called the Stone Boy ever since. The stone boy then informs Ajit that only Ajit can see and hear him.

Ajit takes stone boy home where stone boy finishes up the entire ration of the house as he was very hungry. The next day Ajit and stone boy visit the supermarket and later that day Ajit introduces stone boy to his sister as well.
