We Bought a Zoo Page #5

Chikku, hope this isn't

one of your pranks!

Look at that.

It's very big; isn't it?

What's going on?

Huh, who is this?

Go on take a guess!

I can't. Come on, who is this?

Let go of me!

Atkan batkan dahi chatokan,

(Lord Krishna's childhood couplet)

lf you're Yashoda, then who am I...?

(Lord Krishna's childhood couplet)

Mohan!

Mohan!

Kaveriamma.

Mohan... it's you, it's really you!

I can't believe my eyes!

Do you know who this is?

This is Mohan, my Mohan!

The one I keep talking

to you about.

Come...

Stop! Wait right here.

Do not step inside. I'll be back.

Now you can come in!

Kaveriamma.

- Yes?

Oh... what are you doing?

I can't express how happy

l am to see you Mohan.

Let Gita come.

I'll tell her I've won the bet.

Bet? What bet?

Gita always said

"Your Mohan has forgotten you, Amma."

Really?

But I would always retort:

"No, he will come to meet me."

And then we had a bet!

If you did come, she would have to

treat me to an ice cream.

Ice cream? Kaveriamma!

Why?

- Because you haven't changed a bit!

You haven't lost your

appetite for ice-creams!

Why not?

Why not? Are ice creams meant only

for kids? Can't we oldies enjoy it?

Sit!

All right, you win. And by the way,

who says you're old?

So... who is this Gita?

Don't you remember?

You often played with her as a child.

She used to visit our Delhi house

with her mother.

Gita...

Are you referring to that

'Gitlee' by any chance?

Yes!

You called her that.

And this is Nandan

Gita's younger brother.

But we lovingly call him Chikku.

- Chikku! Hey Chikku!

He has faked a tummy ache today

so that he can miss school.

How old are you?

- Eight.

Which school do you go to?

I study in Navjeevan Paathshala.

My roll number is 6

and I am in the fourth standard!

The motto of our school is

Books are a source of knowledge

and knowledge is strength.

Your school seems to be a good one.

Why haven't you gone today?

- I had a stomach ache.

Really?

Was the pain here?

Or here?

Would you like to see my school?

- No, not now.

I want to talk to Amma.

- No! Let's go right now.

All right Chikku.

Mohan, why don't you

go visit the school with Chikku.

You can meet Gita as well.

She teaches there.

Ok, but I thought Chikku had a

stomach ache!

Ache? Oh yes!

It was there, but it just went away!

Let's go to my school now!

That's Uncle Postman!

Not just postman my dear

...I'm the plough and the bull, field

and seed, crop and the grains.

I am everything here!

I sort the letters, seal them

and distribute them as well!

When on my bicycle, I'm the Postman

and in my chair, Postmaster.

The name is Nivaaran Dayal Shrivastava.

How can I help you?

Can I call America from here?
