| Baadshah : Now just
stop worrying. We are going for a little ride ... and I'm sure you'll enjoy it very
much... it's a ride which you've never even heard of before... But first,
Just shut your eyes and count ten in
all
Soon we'll both be very small
( Chhutki shuts her eyes and counts till
ten. When she opens them she is startled to find they both have become smaller thgan mice.
She then hears a loud flapping sound which scares her and makes her run and hide behind
Baadshah for safety. )
Chhutki : Baadshah,
Baadshah! What is that loud flapping sound ?
Baadshah : ( Chuckling
) No, no, Chhutki ! Don't be afraid ... take a look , it's someone I want you to
meet... a very good friend - Pia, the pigeon.

Chhutki : (
Peeping from behind Baadshah ) Gosh , she is so huge!
Baadshah : Wrong, it is we
who have become vert small, Chhutki. Pia, meet Chhutki, another very good friend.
Pia : Hello, Baadshah !
Good to see you again ! Hello Chhutki! Don't be afraid . Come, hop on to my back , I'll
take you wherever you wish to go.
(Baadshah and Chhutki climb on to a
naerby rock and then on to Pia's back where they sit, clinging tightly to her feathers .)
Ready? Now. where do we go to?
Baadshah : Let's go as high
as you can take us.
Pia: Very well, hold on
tight.
( She flaps her wings faster and faster,
then rises into the air. Higher and higher she flies till they are almost as high as the
clouds.) |
