Meena and Ritu were going home after playing hopscotch. “Come on, come to my house,” pleaded Meena, pulling Ritu by the hand.

“Is your uncle at home? If he is, I will not come,” Ritu answered.

“But why do you say that? Uncle likes you. He was saying – bring your friend Ritu home and I will give both of you lots of chocolate.”
