SINGING ALL THE WAY
AND WHEN MUTHU ASKS ME
WHAT I’D WANT
I RATTLE OFF A LIST:
“SESAME SEEDS, ONIONS
TOMATOES AND PICKLES

the way. When he reached Muthu’s shop,
Muthu (the shopkeeper) asked him what
items he wanted. Raj recited a long list
on his own! He had forgotten what his
mother had asked him to buy. He
seemed to be dreaming of his own list of
spices. He changed the entire list and
said he wanted sesame seeds, onions,
tomatoes and pickles! His mother
mentioned none of these items

MOTHER TWISTS MY EARS
OUCH!
EXPLANATION

ITEMS, AND HIS MOM TWISTED HIS EARS.
HE SHOUTED “OUCH!” IN PAIN. HOPEFULLY,
HE REMEMBERS THE CORRECT LIST THE
