Aaloo-Maaloo-Kaaloo

For the very first time, Maaloo is collecting vegetables from the garden. He has collected red tomatoes, fresh brinjals and green lady's fingers.

Dadi says, “Well done, Maaloo! Go and get some potatoes too.”

Maaloo looked at all the trees, creepers and plants. Not a single potato could he see.

“Dadi, the potatoes aren't ready yet,” said Maaloo, putting the empty basket down. “No Maaloo, there are plenty of potatoes. Look carefully,” said Dadi.

Maaloo went into the garden once more. Kaaloo followed him. Maaloo was looking for potatoes when he heard, “Woof! Woof!”

“Kaaloo! Stop, Kaaloo!” yelled Maaloo, running behind him. “Don't spoil the garden.” Maaloo saw that Kaaloo was digging away and what do you think was coming out of the mud? Big fat potatoes!

“Well done, Kaaloo. You found the potatoes!” laughed Maaloo, filling his basket with potatoes.
