Biju didn’t know what he could do and how to play properly with Bubbles. He felt shy,
clumsy and a little silly.
Suddenly, in one corner, he saw a spinning wheel. Now that looked familiar! Here was
something he could work very well, just like his mother and sisters. When Bubbles saw
Biju looking at the spinning wheel, he turned it round and asked, ‘Do you know how to
use this? My uncle brought it from an exhibition at Red Fort. He gave it to me to play
with but I don’t know what to do with it.’
Biju’s shyness and wonder left him. He put on a serious and important air. ‘This is a
charkha. Do you have some cotton?’ he asked. Bubbles did not.
Biju went back to his father and dug deep into the bag lying beside him.
