Detective Chubby to the fore

“Time to read some newspaper articles aloud, Jashan,” said his father. “Your speed and pronunciation have improved a lot.” “Kitten gets quack arrested,” Jashan read a headline from that day’s newspaper. Lara, who had just started learning to read, looked at him enviously as Jashan continued reading the article about an undercover cat that helped cops trap and arrest a fake vet. As the policemen led Sunderlal away, he wondered why the sight of some mice in his storehouse would frighten the stupid cat enough to make him cry out so loudly. The only rewards he got were in the form of a lavish menu that day: mice from Sunderlal’s warehouse, the fish from Lakki’s bag, and a bowl of rich, creamy milk from the grateful Colonel.
