This poem is written by Indian poet Raj Arumugam. It is about a little boy named Raj whom his mother asks to go to the shop run by Muthu to buy some spices like cinnamon, betel leaves, ginger and garlic. However, when Muthu asks what Raj wants, he rattles off a different list of items like sesame seeds, onions, tomatoes and pickles instead of what his mother asked for. When Raj returns home with the wrong items, his mother twists his ears in frustration.
