The Bungalow on the Corner of the Street

           the corner of the street! Tripathi uncle just came home and
           told aunty and Rohan. They took us all to see the house,
           Mummy! It’s big! And Rohan’s room is so big, Mummy. I
           also want a room like his.”

           Mrs.  Sharma  called  up  Mrs.  Gulati  immediately.  They
           started criticizing Mrs. Tripathi for showing off her new
           bungalow as soon as they bought it. Very soon, some of
           the  neighbourhood  women  had  gathered  in  Mrs.
           Tripathi’s new home. Mrs. Gulati and Mrs. Sharma went
           too. They praised the house and asked Mrs. Tripathi what
           furniture she would put there.

           Mrs.  Tripathi  was  happy.  She  talked  to  them  excitedly
           about  her  plans.  Mrs.  Gulati  and  Mrs.  Sharma  listened,
           ooh-ing  and  aah-ing  whenever  she  mentioned  a  sofa,  a
           new TV set, new crockery sets, and when she promised to
           throw her party in her new sets, they were very pleased
           and thanked her. They stayed for a while and came back
           to Mrs. Sharma’s home.

           “Just wait till I tell Mr. Gulati this news, “said Mrs. Gulati.
           “He  will  be  green  with  envy.  He  had  his  eye  on  the
           bungalow for a long time now.”

           “Oh, really?” said Mrs. Sharma. “Well, now Mrs. Tripathi
           has it.”
