A Visit From Santa

A jolly faced man popped his head out of the window of the Mustang and
called out to the kids. "Hey little ones. Can one of you help me? I am
looking for a particular house."

Suresh being the oldest stepped forward. "Which house?"

"Plot number B-33" The main said checking a sheet of paper.

The kids gasped. "You don't want to go there." Nidhi said shaking her head,
as her two little bushy ponytails bobbed along. She had just joined the
group on her cycle a moment ago.

"Why not?" The jolly man was intrigued.

"Uncle Uh-Oh lives there." Mahesh whispered.

"Uncle Uh-Oh?" The man laughed a booming hearty laugh. "Is that what
you kids call good old Professor Narayan?"

"Professor Narayan?" Rahul raised his thick eyebrows. "Is that his name?"

"You don't even know his name, and he has been living here for a month!
How strange! Just point me there please."

Just as Suresh finished giving the directions, he noticed the little boy in the
car. "You are not taking that boy with you, are you?"

"Of course I am. He is my son. His name is Akshay."

"Even if you must go, leave him here. Uncle Uh-Oh hates children." Payal
urged him.

"Hates children! What utter nonsense. I must go and see him. Thanks for
your help."

Akshay looked terrified, after what the kids said, but his father patted him
reassuringly.
