A Challenge For The Kids
Suresh took charge. "Looks like, we have a mystery and a task! We need to
cheer up Uh-Oh and figure out why he is so sad. Santa wont tell us because
he cant betray Uh-Oh, by telling us what Uh-Oh has told him in confidence.
So we need to figure it out ourselves."
"Excellent! I am staying at the Maurya hotel down the street for 3 weeks.
Let me know if there is any way I can help." Then Santa left with Akshay.
The kids thought for a few moments about how they would approach the
problem. "He is usually less mean to girls than to boys." Payal pointed out.
"I know, I have an idea." Nidhi bounced up and down in delight. "Santa
said he loves strawberries. My mom is planning to distribute the first batch
of strawberries from our garden tomorrow. I can take him a few, and a
runner too for his garden. What do you think?"
"Brilliant Nidhi!" Rahul patted her on the back and Nidhi glowed. She
loved appreciation from the older kids.
The next day Nidhi packed a small wicker basket full of fresh strawberries.
