Socks

Author: Pramod Pathak

Illustrator: Kanika Nair

Translator: Shannon David

Anu loves all her colourful socks. But sometimes, Ma needs to use them.

Ma uses the socks to make mops.

Anu doesn't like that her socks are used as mops.

Anu loves her socks because socks can change the colour of your feet!

If you want red feet, wear red socks.

If you want blue feet, wear blue socks.

If you want colourful feet, wear colourful socks. There are so many colours to choose from!

One day, Anu has an idea.

She puts colourful socks on her cup, her bat and her ball.

“Ma, look! ” Anu says. “I made three new, colourful friends!”

The next day, Anu gets a surprise. One of her socks has turned into an elephant!

And another sock has turned into a cat!

Anu runs to show Ma the elephant and cat.

“My socks are my friends,” Anu says. “You won't make my socks into mops now, will you?”

Ma laughs and gives Anu a great, big hug.
