In the evening, Venu, Abdul, Kumari, and Unni came home.


“Why didn’t you come to school today?” asked Unni.

“I am sick,” said Ammu.


“We saw Shankar,” said Abdul.

“Where?” asked Ammu.

“In the garden,” said Kumari.


“He didn’t want to play ball,” said Abdul.


Suddenly, Ammu got up from bed.
 She ran outside.
