Mittai Lals' Sweet Dream

Mittai Lal was very fond of sweets. He was fat and round like a laddu. He would stop by the halwayi every day, to eat ladoos, Jalebis and Jamuns.

One night while resting after dinner, he craved for Gulab jamuns. He soon ran to the halwayi, hoping to eat yummy Jamuns.

But alas! The shop was closed. So Mittai Lal returned home sad, his tummy growling.

He went to bed and soon fell asleep. He was dreaming of sweets even in his sleep.

He dreamt that he was standing atop a mountain of laddus, surrounded by jalebis. A little far away, he could see a pool full of Jamuns.

The sight of syrupy jamuns mesmerized him. So, he greedily jumped from the mountain of laddus to the pool of Jamuns.

Thud!! He fell off from his cot. “Ouch! He screamed in pain from the fall. Mittai Lal's sweet dream was broken, so was his arm!
