What's Ameena Up To?

Roopa Banerjee

Baba is making coconut chutney.
“Huh! Where did the coconut shell go?”

Aapa wants to paint the sky.
“Oh! Where did the blue paint go?”

Ammi is going to solve the crossword puzzle.
“Huh! Where did the newspaper go?”

Daadi’s needle moves like magic through the clothes.
“Oh! Where did the buttons go?”

“The house is too quiet,” says Baba.
“Ameena must be up to something.”

“Where is Ameena? Have you seen Ameena?” asks Ammi.
“Ameena must be up to something,” says Daadi.

“I am making an alien!” Ameena smiles.
“Oh! So that is what Ameena was up to!” says Aapa.
