The White Ghost
As Holi approached, all the animals were making strategies to colour others. Every house was preparing unique dishes, and delicious aromas filled the jungle.
Jumpy monkey and his friends collected empty coconut shells, filled them with colours, and hid them amongst the branches of a tall tree so they could put colours on whoever passed beneath it.
"It'll be such fun, right? No one will guess how they got colour on them," said Mimi monkey, trying to fix a coconut shell filled with colours on a tree branch.
However, she suddenly lost her balance, and the coconut shell broke open and fell on Jumpy, who was standing beneath the tree. Jumpy was hurt.
Damru saw the coconut fall on Jumpy's head, ran, quickly put Jumpy on his back, and then dashed towards the doctor, who put a bandage on Jumpy's head. Damru then dropped Jumpy back at home.
Damru's popularity and the love he received from everyone made brothers Baddy and Benny fox feel immensely jealous.
The brothers' nature was in complete contrast to that of Damru's. They found joy in troubling others and stealing from everyone. They couldn't bear to witness Damru's niceness.
"He's just arrived, and he is already everyone's favourite," an annoyed Baddy said to Benny.
"Yes, he is such a fool. His niceness makes me feel pukish. Today, he's helping Jumbo elephant and Cheeku rabbit set up the stage for the humorous poet's recital that is being held on Holi."
"Yes. Two days ago, Meeku mouse was sick. Damru brought everything for Meeku from the market and delivered it to his house," Baddy said.
"I feel like troubling him to the point that he leaves our forest and runs away," Benny said.
"Yes, we must rid him of his obsession with helping everyone. Hey, I got an idea.
Why don't we teach him a lesson during Holi?" Baddy suggested.
