Pehelwaan Ji
Pehelwaan ji!
He drinks ten litres of milk everyday.
He eats fifty rotis.
He lifts weights of a hundred kilos.
He walks with a swagger.
He orders all the children about.
One day, Gappu said, “Will you wrestle with me?”
Pehelwaan ji laughed. And then agreed.
Both of them slapped their thighs!
Pehelwaan ji caught hold of Gappu.
Gappu tickled him in the stomach.
Hee...Heee...Heeee... Pehelwaan ji jumped!
As Gappu tickled him, Pehelwaan ji began to dance.
Ha...Ha...Hee...Hee...Hoo...Hoo... Pehelwaan ji rolled about helplessly. And he ran away.
The kids are not scared of him any more. He is scared of them.
