Tiger's Pillow

Few nights ago!

Daddy?

Yes, Tiger.

My pillow is not soft. I mean it is soft, but I want softer.

Take this one. This is softer.

Thank you, daddy. But this is not soft either.

It is softer, Tiger.

Daddy?

Now what?

This is not warm. I want a warm pillow.

You sleep on it for sometime it will automatically become warm.

Daddy?

!!! NOW WHAT??

I think I can’t sleep properly as you are not giving me your shoulder to sleep. It is more soft and warm than any of these pillows!

So, say that Tiger!

Oh, Daddy! You are so nice. Thank you. I love you. Good night!

Tiger is fast asleep in two minutes flat! zzz...zzz...zzz...zzz

Sweet dreams, Tiger! I love you.

Tiger's Car

One Saturday, Tiger and Daddy are out for finishing off some routine work - getting the bicycle in working condition, get the school bag repaired and replaced and so on...

Daddy?

Yes, Tiger.

Why don't you get a Santro for Mamma?

I can. But why?

Well, so we don't have to go around every Saturday to do all such things! She can do it on her own.

Hunh... Its a good idea. Let me think about it.

But, Daddy - I have one more idea!

What?

You can actually sell this car to Mamma and when you get some money from it, you can buy a nice, bigger car!

yes, sounds like a nice idea...but..

But - wait Daddy! One more thing - I want you to go to BMW Showroom next Sunday and try out the BMW Jeep - go for a test drive!

and?

You just do the test drive. Don't buy it. I will buy it when I grow up. You just check it for me and let me know...

?!@!?

Kahani main Twist!

Daddy! Please tell me a nice story.

Yes, Tiger! Which story?

A story about a good boy like me who loves his Daddy & Mamma.

Ok. I will tell you a story of a boy named Shravan.

Who is Shravan?

Shravan was a nice boy, just like you. Who loved his parents.

What did he do. Did he used to kiss his Daddy and Mamma daily like I do?

Yes, Tiger! But his parents could not see.

What do you mean?

Well, they did not have eyes.

Shravan could see?

Yes Tiger!

His parents wanted to go to temples. Shravan put them in Kavads (I took great pains to explain what that means – am not going to repeat it here!) and took them temple to temple….

But daddy – did he come to Nasik?

Hmm… Yes Tiger!

Okay – now I know what happened…

???

He came to Nasik. Then he saw two roads. One to the left, which goes to Tryambakeshwar and one on the right, which goes to Shirdi.

Then?

He decided to go to Shirdi. He went there and met Sai Baba. His parents met Sai Baba and their eyes came back! Then they all went to Sun-n-Sand and did swimming!

??!!!

When Sai Baba saw that they are enjoying at Sun-n-Sand, he also went for swimming. He blessed them and then he called Grand parents to Shravan to come and stay with them.

They all came and stayed with Sai Baba.

???!!! Okay… so….

So the moral of the story is that you should love your parents and you have to go and meet your grand parents regularly.

Yes Tiger! You are right!

I am always right. Because I am smart!

Good night, daddy!

Good night, Tiger!

Why do we pray?

Daddy!

Yes, Tiger!

Why do we pray to God?

Hmmm, we pray to thank him for whatever he does for us and also request him to make you smart.

But Daddy! I know I am smart and if you pray more, will I become even smarter than what I am?

Yes, Tiger.

No, Daddy - I know why you pray.

Why?

Because, you know I am smarter than you and you want to become smart like me!

Jadoo & Halftime...

Daddy!

Yes, Tiger.

Now, I do not want to be Jadoo any more. You become Jadoo and I will become Halftime.

Ok. But, why?

Because, I am small and Halftime is also small.

Ok.

Now, do as I say. I am Halftime and telling you - Jadoo to bring a glass of water for me...

Jadoo, please bring a sandwich for me...

Jadoo, please prepare Maggie for me...

Jadoo, please bring my toys for me...

Now, does anybody has a doubt why all of a sudden Jadoo wanted to become Halftime!

(If you are not clear who is Jadoo and who is Halftime - dont blame me. Please start watching Cartoon Channels)
