A Book for Puchku
Author: Deepanjana Pal
“Puchku! Have a bath!”
“Puchku! Eat your food!”
“Puchku! Go to class!”
“Puchku! Do your homework!”
“Where is Puchku?”
Puchku is busy reading a book.
Puchku reads all the time,
page after page,
book after book,
one by one,
she has read them all.
"Why are you always reading Puchku?"
asks Boltu.
"Come,
watch a cartoon instead!"
says Dodla.
"Books are so much more fun!”
says Puchku.
But today, Puchku is in a fix.
She has run out of books to read!
"What will I do?
No more books to read!"
wails Puchku.
Wait! What’s that over there?
Puchku looks up and sees
not one, not two, but three more shelves,
FULL of books.
“More books!”
Puchku whispers in delight.
There is still one problem though.
She is too short.
And the bookshelf is too tall.
How can Puchku get up there?
Maybe she can use a washing line?
Or Ma’s sari
to climb?
How about the chairs and tables in the room?
Puchku has a plan.
She calls Boltu and Dodla for help.
As quiet as they can,
they climb on top of each other.
Just then, it all goes wrong.
AHHHHHHHH!
“What is happening here?”
It is the Very Tall Librarian!
She puts Puchku down.
Boltu and Dodla run away!
Puchku looks up sadly at the book she almost had in her hand.
“Can I help?”
asks the Very Tall Librarian.
“I was trying to climb the bookshelf.
I have run out of books to read,”
says Puchku, sadly.
“Why didn’t you say so?”
says the Very Tall Librarian.
“As long as I am around,
you do not have to climb a bookshelf.
May I pick you up?”
Puchku nods.
“I will take this,
and this, and this one too!”
says Puchku happily. “Thank you!”
“Take this one too.
When I was small,
I loved this book.”
says the Very Tall Librarian.
“You were small once?”
Puchku asks.
“Oh yes, even smaller than you,
says the Very Tall Librarian.
But then I grew,
and so will you.
Until then,
all you need to do is ask for a book
and I will be here to give it to you.”
But is Puchku listening?
No she is not!
She is inside her book!
