Cheenu’s Gift
By Sridala Swami
School was about to get over.
Just five minutes more,
but Cheenu could not wait!
He looked outside.
There was nobody there.
From somewhere close by,
a bell jingled.
“Cheenu, what are you doing?”
asked his teacher.
“Sorry Miss,” Cheenu said.
“It’s just that…”
“Paperwala, Old paper!
old books, old magazines!”
sang Cheenu’s father, the scrap dealer.
Even from outside,
he could see Cheenu’s grin.
The school bell rang.
Cheenu ran out to his father,
grinning from ear to ear.
He was the only child in school
whose father came to pick him up.
Cheenu jumped on to the cart
and dangled his legs.
His father pushed the cart,
shouting,
“Old paper, old books, old magazines...!”
Cheenu also shouted.
They were quite loud!
When a watchman stopped them,
Cheenu jumped off.
He went with his father,
carrying an empty sack.
All the things they would get today
would go into that sack.
From this house, newspapers.
From that one, newspapers
and magazines.
From the ground floor,
newspapers and magazines
and empty bottles.
Cheenu ran to the cart
to get another empty sack.
They were going up in a lift!
Cheenu's eyes grew big
and round!
From the fifth floor,
newspapers and magazines,
bottles and boxes and books.
While his father
was talking to the lady,
Cheenu put everything away
so that the books were right on top.
Where he could look at them!
This time, Cheenu had to help
his father push the cart!
At home, after they had put
everything away,
Cheenu’s father called him.
“I have something for you,”
he said.
It was the book Cheenu
had been looking at all afternoon!
“Thank you, Papa!” Cheenu said.
After that,
they had to call him three times
to come and have dinner!
