Children of BJ home couldn't stop smiling looking at Takloo, his amusing mother and appreciating the clever idea that our little salt-seller came up with. When I asked them what they'd do had they been Takloo and faced a similar (salty :)) situation, here were some of the things they said with great eagerness "Didi, I would've thrown all that salt back into the sea." "I would've eaten all that salt up!" "I would've distributed it to all my best friends". I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them think like Takloo. And even ape his mom's flabbergasted expression with arms swung in the air ( see picture 3 ). Not to mention, the 'taklu' boys in class were specially elated with the story.
Thank you Takloo for giving us this great story. Thank you Pratham Books for the opportunity to share.
