Gladly he 's calling the children, I know, Out in the beautiful sun; It's hopperty, skipperty, high and low— Summer's the time for fun.

It was a matter of routine till one day Chibu decided to accompany me and stood close as I petted the little  calf ! I don't know what happened , but the sight of Chibu made Ilabati so jealous - her eyes grew large and she shook her head and was just like a possessive baby w...
