Have you ever seen a dinosaur? Do you think they would
have sung songs? What do you like to do in the rain?
What do you like to eat when it rains?
Sukhiya Kaka lived in a village
called Bitauna.
All over Rajasthan,
Bitauna was well known
for its great singers.
No celebration was complete
without Sukhiya Kaka's
sweet songs.
Today Sukhiya Kaka
had been invited to a village
called Jhalaura.
Sukhiya Kaka
twirled his big moustache
and set off.
He was singing raag Malhar
with all his strength.
...Come to me o rolling clouds...
… Come to me…
...Come to me o rolling clouds...
… Come to me…
Suddenly, he heard,
thump thump, thump thump!
Was someone playing a beat
to his song?
Dinoo, the dinosaur
came running towards him.
Sukhiya Kaka was so happy to see him!
You don't get such a BIG listener
every day!
... Come to me o rolling clouds,
shower me with your rain drops!
Sukhiya Kaka and Dinoo sang a duet
and did a little dance.
The clouds just had to listen to them!
Lightning flashed
and the wind danced.
Dark clouds came rolling in.
Sukhiya Kaka and Dinoo
laughed with joy.
As the rain came pouring down,
Sukhiya Kaka and Dinoo
shared a small umbrella.
Then off they went to Jhalaura,
following the smell of yummy pakoras,
singing all the way!
