From Taj (age4): I like the little girl’s bows & I like the ankle things. I want to know what the little dots are on her hands. I liked when she scared the cat away because she wore a red skirt and sandals.
Mala, a little girl at home, loves to scare everyone around her.
Be it her old grandmother or her little brother, she never minds. She doesn't miss to scare even the Post man who visits her home to give the letters !!
To put an end to all this "Scary boo" game of Mala, her amma gives her a gift. Yes!! It's a silver anklet.
Now Mala wears her new silver anklets. So now, Chik, Chik, Chum the little bells chimed.
Oh No!! Mala couldn't frighten anybody anymore. So she thinks 🤔
She took off her silver anklets and let herself free!!
I perceive a beautiful metaphor in this playful story line. Letting go that holds on with us ☺️
Just like Mala, let's do it!! Let go of the hindering fears and doubts and scare everyone 😄😂
