Summary
Chakravarthy was an adventure-loving young boy from Patel Street. His greatest dream was to be a detective. In observation and in appearance, Chakravarthy matched himself with well-known detectives. He was always on the look out for a criminal. He had a pair of binoculars, magnifying glass and an atlas.
One festive season, Chakravarthy was closely observing the roads and shops from his balcony – on the sixth floor. The roads were more jammed than usual. At first he saw a cow making its way and then a little girl licking her favorite ice-cream. A little away, a fear-stricken woman was talking to a police officer. It seemed that she was terribly frightened. The smart Chakravarthy noticed that the little girl and the woman had curly hair! From this he worked his detective skills and ran down. Lifting the little girl with the ice-cream she ate, Chakravarthy ran to the woman. Yes, Chakravarthy was a worthy detective – the girl was the woman’s daughter!
