Vipul’s family In Vipul's family, there are some members who do not eat what Vipul eats. Do you think these people ‘do not eat’ or ‘cannot eat’ what Vipul eats? Let us read about Vipul's family. While returning home from school, Vipul bought a bhutta (corncob). He reached home and asked his mother – Where is Chhutki? I want to see her His mother replied – Chhutki is in the room upstairs. Vipul caught his grandmother’s hand and said – You also come upstairs with me. His mother stopped him – I have soaked Ba’s chapati in dal. Let her first have her meal. Have you put sugar in the dal? After coming to Nagpur you have forgotten our own way of making food – said Dadi to Vipul’s mother. I have tasted the dal. It has been prepared well – replied Vipul’s mother. Vipul picked up his grandmother’s plate and ran upstairs. He asked her to follow him quickly. When I was your age I could run up a hill at the same time – said Dadi. Vipul gave the bhutta he was eating to his Mami, washed his hands and lifted little Chhutki. Suddenly Chhutki started crying. She is hungry – said Mami. She sat down to feed Chhutki. |
For four months Chhutki will have only her mother’s milk. That is her only food. Why?
