My Dad’s Hero

           called Varun uncle’s home to tell him to meet him at the
           bus  stop  again.  Varun  uncle  was  not  at  home  when  he
           called.  So  he  waited  for  him  to  call  back.  When  Varun
           uncle did not call back till evening, my Dad called him

           statue with my Dad. That was his parting gift. He never
           met my Dad after that. Not until today.”

           “But why was Buddha Varun uncle’s hero?” asked Mansa.

           “Well,  Varun  uncle  heard  a  story  from  his  Dad  about
