Munia had only one night to prove the elephant bird’s
innocence. “Think, Munia, think!” she whispered to
herself. “The milkman saw Vayu gallop away on the road
that goes to the lake. But the road takes a turn before it
reaches the lake and goes towards Chandesara. What if
Vayu had gone that way?”
Munia’s parents were angry with her and sent her to
bed without speaking a word. Once they were asleep,
she got out of bed, took the hanging lamp and stepped
out of the house.
