Let us now read about a trip to Delhi by two young children Rishov and Rishika.

It was a lovely October morning. ‘Delhi is so beautiful!’ thought Rishov as he looked out of the window of the speeding bus.

How he and his sister Rishika had pestered their parents for a holiday trip to Delhi! “Father, let us go to Delhi for the Puja holidays, “Rishika had pleaded. Rishov and his mother had fully supported her. “Don’t say no,” she had begged her father. Rishov fondly recalled that father had been rather reluctant that day. “What about your exams in November?” he asked. But they had noticed a smile on his lips.

“Don’t worry, Father. Rishika will do well,” Rishov recalled saying. “And so will I.” Their mother too was on their side and ultimately father had agreed.

Tickets were arranged, two rooms were booked in a good hotel and the trip calked out in no time. Three days later they were in Maple Inn, a lovely hotel in South Delhi. It was a nice hotel with lavish lawns and a wonderful complimentary buffet breakfast.

Everything about Delhi amazed Rishov and especially Rishika. There was so much to see! The huge structure of the Red Fort amazed them. Rishika recognised the India Gate and shouted to her father excitedly, “Father, look!” Then, this morning they were on a luxury bus to Agra. They couldn’t afford to miss the Taj Mahal.

The bus sped on and Rishov felt wonderful. Suddenly he saw something on the floor of the bus below his seat. He bent down and picked up a wallet lying on the floor.

Father, sitting beside him, was as usual, fast asleep. He always slept in cars and buses while travelling. Mother no longer got embarrassed by Father’s habit. Rishov woke him up and showed him the wallet. “Father, this wallet was lying under my seat.”

“Look, father! There’s a slip of paper with a few telephone numbers and one number marked as ‘my number’ inside a pocket of the wallet,” he told his father.

“Shall we ring the person up?” Rishov said. “You try, Rishov,” father said. Rishov dialled the number from his father’s mobile phone. A voice replied, “Hello! I’m Rishov Baruah from Guwahati. My younger sister, my parents and I are travelling from Delhi to Agra on a bus. I found a wallet under my seat. Is it yours, by any chance?”

Rishov told him that they were visiting Agra and would be stopping at the Taj Mahal area. He gave the man the number of the bus. He also described the colour and model of the bus. He told Mr. Sharma that they should be in Agra in an hour’s time. If he could come up to the tourist bus stop near the Taj Mahal, Rishov would hand over the wallet to him. Meanwhile, they would keep contact over the mobile phone.

Rajeev Sharma was waiting with his mobile phone fixed to his ear at the bus stop. When he saw the bus, he stood by the door. He introduced himself as a young businessman in the city. He was very happy to get the wallet back. “I don’t know how to thank you!” he said, offering Rishov a thousand rupees from the wallet. Rishov refused to take the money, and said he was happy that Mr. Sharma had got back his lost wallet. Rajeev Sharma thanked them once again, and promised to keep in touch.
