Extract from the Story
Ravi ran out of the building just in time to see Grandpa’s yellow cap disappearing round the corner. Grandpa’s first stop was the children’s park where he bought himself a paper-cone of peanuts and settled on a bench, watching the children play.
Summary in Bullet Points
- Ravi secretly follows Grandpa, using the yellow cap as his visual clue. visual clue = something seen that helps a person track or identify someone.
- Grandpa’s first stop is the children’s park, where he calmly eats peanuts and watches children play.
- Ravi crouches behind a bush trimmed like an elephant to avoid being seen. crouch = to bend the body low.
- A child mistakes Ravi’s hiding for a game of hide-and-seek.
- The child’s mother scolds Ravi, turning his “detective work” into comedy. humiliation = a strong feeling of embarrassment.
Ravi secretly Grandpa ke peeche jaata hai — unke peele (yellow) cap ko visual clue ki tarah use karta hai. Visual clue matlab dekh ke pata lagana. Grandpa pehle children's park mein jaate hain, wahan shant hokar mungfali khaate hain aur bachche dekhte hain. Ravi haathi ki shape mein kaati hui jhadi ke peeche chhup jaata hai. Crouch matlab jhuk ke baithna.
