PRATHAM BOOKS Written by Vaishali Shroff Illustrated by Tapas Guha A} | yi | i Ni ; \ | A Pu Nass We ' HI ey F \' \} Ba | rh | | i I = i | | < pia The state of Jammu and Kashmir is one of the largest manufacturers of cricket bats in India. Sangam, where this story is set, isa town about 35 kilometres from the state capital Srinagar. The abundance of willow trees in the region makes it home to nearly two hundred cricket bat workshops. Ro Chacha had a ricket bat factory in Sangam. One could see cricket bats neatly stacked in rows all around his factory. The bats were made from willow trees that make the best quality bats in the world. The trees grew neatly in rows on both sides of the road that ran through Sangam. In fact, you can see them all over Kashmir. Rehman Chacha was an old man with a hunchback who would always be on his feet to get his work done. He often frowned and used a walking stick wherever he went. Aamir worked at Rehman Chacha’s factory. His son, Ahmed, stayed with him at the factory every day after school. He would stare at the tall stacks of cricket bats in awe. On several evenings, after the sun had set, he would see the moon partly hidden behind the stack of bats and wondered if he could touch the moon if he ever climbed up to the top of a stack. sae SSS c] oH ri a HA th
