Chotu lived with his mother Mina in a small hut along the highway. Chotu’s dad had died in a road accident recently. Mina tried hard to make ends meet by selling small trinkets and other accessories.

“Maa , look! I can pretend to be an airplane and fly wherever I want. Do you want to join me too?” asked little Chotu.

“Can you take me to a grand hotel? We can pretend to have food there,” she said.

“ Of course Maa. Here we go. Wheee…”

Mina really wished they could also pretend that they weren’t hungry. But alas! That wasn’t possible.
