Question
Who does he say the kitten’s ancestors are? Do you believe him?
Solution
Ravi said that one of the descendants of the Egyptian cat-goddess had been a stowaway on one of the Pallava ships. The descendant of this cat was the Mahabalipuram Rishi-Cat, and their kitten Mahendravarma Pallava Poonai. M. P. Poonai for short had descended from the Mahabalipuram Rishi-Cat. It was a close relative, scientifically speaking, of the Pallava lion the emblem of the Pallava dynasty. His narrative concerning the genealogy of the kitten is unbelievable.Ravi said that one of the descendants of the Egyptian cat-goddess had been a stowaway on one of the Pallava ships.

"My father lived at Blenheim then,

Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, “How are you?”
“I’m fine. The question is: How are you?“
“What do you mean?” 1 asked “Something must be eating you,” he said—proud the way foreigners are when they’ve mastered a bit of American slang. “You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed.”
“Believe me, I know it,” I told him—and it felt good to say that to someone.
For the next few minutes we talked together. I didn’t tell Long what was “eating” me, but he seemed to understand my anger, and he took pains to reassure me. Although he’d been schooled in the Nazi youth movement, he didn’t believe in the Aryan-supremacy business any more than I did. We laughed over the fact that he really looked the part, though. An inch taller than I, he had a lean, muscular frame, clear blue eyes, blond hair and a strikingly handsome, chiseled face. Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he pointed to the take-off board.
“Look,” he said. “Why don’t you draw a line a few inches in back of the board and aim at making your take-off from there? You’ll be sure not to foul, and you certainly ought to jump far enough to qualify. What does it matter if you’re not first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts.”
