Abbu remembered that he had to send some radish (mooli) home. He started to pull the radish out of the soil. Abdul wondered whether these were also roots.

They had just reached home when a branch of the neem tree in the courtyard broke and fell. In fact, Abbu was lucky to have missed by only a few inches.
