Kuttu was elated. For he had done math homework right. So was chintu. And more so because asking a gypsy is always a better idea than copying from others. More so because everybody says not to trust the gypsies but this one seemed lovely enough and he was. He actually helped us to solve problems and in such a brilliant way. Normally no one would have trusted a lily with anything either. But his gypsy turned out alright .
Overwhelmed, he started dancing much to the alarm of the gypsies.
“ don’t dance don’t dance !”
“ we have to dance. You do not understand. This has never happened. We have managed the math homework! And kuttu was the one who did this. Kutuu cannot be trusted. Haha” chintu interrupted the gypsy as he joined the dancing.
Arrey ‘aryabatha methamatus’ lilies are not the lilies that liked to be danced around! They don’t like it. Stop now !”
“all lilies like to be danced around !” said kutu. And it was too late.
The lilies were infamous for smiting people with tango tandav. whoever danced around the. Mathematics is no joke! And it had bit the very feet of chintu and kutu which was tapping the ground without their realization.
“Stop stop for heaven’s sake stop!”
“ okay okay! What is heavens’ anyway. Hold your pants.” but there was no stopping the dancing of chintu and kutu anymore.
Tango tandav won’t let your feet rest till you die.
“I am unable to stop,” said kuttu. “You gypsy make this stop!”
“I cant” blurted the gypsy.
“what do you mean? We have to be back home otherwise. I cant have parent furious again” said chintu.
“ i mean i dont know a cure”
“ what you know of the problem but not the solution?”
“ i am only a gypsy!”
“gypsy indeed. You just know of things but know nothing! Gawd a gypsy can never be trusted!”
“kuttu now lets us rush home before you get us in more trouble, dancing to death we still can manage.” stated chintu.
Kuttu looked at the gypsy with much scorn. “ now lead use out of here safely you old faggot!”
“just follow the orange butterfly or better walk along the stream. And you are dancing so you will reach by the neck of the evening. Need not get worried”
“thank you for being so considerate to not to burden us with more worries you stupid gypsy. Now we have to figure out how to stop dancing.” and they danced along the stream. To a passerby this was a beautiful sight, two young boys dancing in merry.
They were no way merry but rather in utter panic. They parted at the market at Nagar ka Nukkad . Both deciding to simply rush to their respective bedrooms and proclaiming they to be left alone for the night for they have to rehears dancing for the school program. And this is what they did.
They started out for their houses, both dancing away in the market in opposite directions. That night passed by without bringing much attention to this problem. By the morning the whole town knew about it because everybody who was at the market when the kids were crossing got afflicted and from the other and from others everybody. The town was in a pandemic of tango tandav ”
