SCENE 1 :::
(One morning when narrator is in the midst of the seventeenth chapter of his new novel, his 5 years old daughter Mini enters into the room)
MINI ---Father! Ramdayal the door-keeper calls a crow a krow! He doesn't know anything, does he?"
NARRATOR--- Do you know the differences of languages in the world?
(Before the narrator could explain to her the differences of language in this world, Mini comes out with another question).
MINI---What do you think, Father? Bhola says there is an elephant in the clouds, blowing water out of his trunk, and that is why it rains!
(While the narrator sat still making ready some reply to this last saying, Mini puts another question)
MINI---Father! What relation is Mother to you?
NARRATOR---My dear…show more content… MINI---Are you going there?
(Amongst men of the Cabuliwallah's class, however, it is well known that the words father-in-law's house have a double meaning. It is a euphemism for jail, the place where we are well cared for, at no expense to ourselves.)
KABULIWALA---Ah, I will thrash my father-in-law! ( Hearing this Mini would go off into peals of laughter)
SCENE 5
(One morning narrator hears an uproar in the street, and, looking out, saw Rahmun being led away bound between two policemen, and behind them a crowd of curious boys. There were blood-stains on the clothes of the Cabuliwallah, and one of the policemen carried a knife.)
NARRATOR---(Hurrying out and stopping them) What does it all mean?
POLICEMEN---A certain neighbour had owed the pedlar something for a Rampuri shawl, but had falsely denied having bought it, and that in the course of the quarrel, Rahmun had struck him.
(Mini enters the scene)
MINI---O Cabuliwallah! Cabuliwallah!
KABULIWALA—(turns to her but says nothing)
MINI---Are you going to the father-in-law's house?
KABULIWALA---(laughing)Just where I am going, little one!
MINI---(Does not appear to be ammused)
KABULIWALA---I would have thrashed that old father-in-law, but my hands are bound!
