Saturday evening is always an exciting evening in Kimi’s family. On Saturdays Kimi and Jojo also have their parents permission to stay up till late, and do whatever they like.
When Daddu, their grandfather returned from his walk, and the family sat down for the dinner, Jojo said, “Daddu, you really missed this “Wonderful Animals” film today!”
“Kimi, Jojo, finish your meal fast, I will tell you a wonderful story from Panchatantra about friendship between 4 animals!” Daddu offered them an incentive to finish fast.

”Arushi was not only a cousin but Kimi’s best friend too. And Aryaman was their best friend near home. Next day soon after Arushi came in with Aryaman, they got after Daddu to tell them the friendship story. Sitting them on the stairs of the house opening on the lawns, Daddu began,
“In a jungle lived four friends- a deer, a tortoise, a mouse and a mynah. One day it was late in the evening, and the deer had not returned home.
