Little Kishore spent all day at school touching his nose
every now and then with trepidation.
“Caught a cold, kishu?” asked his bum chum Swami.
Deeply troubled, Kishore decided to share his secret with
Swami. “I lied yesterday about my homework and my grandma said that now my nose will get bigger” he whispered.
Swami was equally worried and the boys swore to behave if
the nose did not grow.
Kishore chuckled at the childhood memory as he read out the
story of Pinocchio to his little daughter. Naanima sure knew how to make him toe
the line of discipline.
