An Amazing World

- Manju Gupta

The Seetabadi Fair takes place every year in a village in Rajasthan.
This year too, Lalchand set up shop. A shop of turbans! He decorated the shop with colorful turbans from all over the country and set aside the Rajasthani turbans for sale.
Not only did the colorful shop attract people at the fair, it also drew huge crowds from the villages nearby.
Anyone who looked at the shop of turbans was amazed at the variety of turbans! Slowly, night fell. The sweet shops and the merry-go-rounds closed down.
Lalchand was also tired. He rolled down the shutters of his shop and went to sleep.
Now, the turbans were left alone! Aha! Then began a round of introductions!
The turban from Rajasthan said,
"Colorful I fly, up in the sky.
Am honor and pride of the kings, that's why." Sing and dancing, the turban from Punjab said
"Balle, Balle!!
In the land of Punjab, I stand tall,
We dance all night and have a ball!"
