ice cream

- Rohit Khimchand Kapadia

Ra Joo's father started the story of Kitu and Bitu as he put his hand on his head to put him to sleep. A fair was held near Kitu and Bitu's house. Dad gave both of them twenty rupees and asked them to come to the fair.

Both happily went to the fair and roamed around a lot. Both of them sat in the chakdol, Nani Chuk Chuk sat in the car and then they got hungry and ate the mixture. Fourteen rupees of both were used.

Saying this, Dad asked Raju, 'Tell me, Raju, how many rupees are left with him now?'

Counting on his fingers, Raju said, 'Both have six rupees left'. Congratulating Raju, Dad continued the story-

A little further into the fair, there was an ice cream shop. Both of them took ice cream worth four rupees each and walked forward. Both men like ice cream very much. Bitu said, 'Didi, let's eat another ice cream.' Kitu said, 'But now we have only twenty rupees left, so what should we do now?'

After thinking for a while, he said, 'Brother, take my two rupees. Add your two rupees to it and eat the ice cream.' Bitu immediately said, 'No, take my two rupees and eat the ice cream. You are my elder sister.' Kitu said, 'Let us do one thing. You eat half the ice cream and I will eat the other half.'

Bitu happily agreed. They returned to the ice cream shop. There he saw a poor boy in bare shorts looking at an Ekitshe ice cream shop.

Kitu said, 'Brothers, we have eaten one ice cream each. If we give that poor boy ice cream, he will be happy.'

Bitu immediately agreed and gave ice cream to the poor boy. Kitu and Bitu also came home from the fair happy to see the boy who was happy after getting the ice cream. Both were tired so they went to sleep. Go, Raju, now you too sleep. - And Raju fell asleep while sucking his thumb in his mouth like eating ice cream.
