them spotted him, they would exclaim Uh-Oh, and rush off to warn the

Suddenly Suresh, a tall plump boy, joined Mahesh, Rahul and Payal. He
was flushed and panting hard. His curly hair was sweaty. Evidently he had

him.

"Because I know that no one near by drives a red Mustang. Trust me. I'd
know." Suresh said smugly.

"A red Mustang? Really?" Rahul's eyes, were wide as saucers, and looked
wider still because of the spectacles he wore. "Wow. I have never seen a
real one. Only in pictures and on TV."

Just then the Mustang stopped right in front of them. Even Payal, who
cared little about cars, could not help but feel impressed.
