Explanation:
SCENE 1 :::
(One morning when narrator is in the midst of the seventeenth chapter of his new novel, his 5 years old daughter Mini enters into the room) MINI ---Father! Ramdayal the DOOR-keeper calls a crow a krow! He doesn't know anything, does he?" NARRATOR--- Do you know the differences of languages in the world? (Before the narrator could explain to her the differences of language in this world, Mini comes out with another question). MINI---What do you think, Father? Bhola says there is an elephant in the clouds, blowing water out of his trunk, and that is why it rains! (While the narrator sat still making ready some reply to this last saying, Mini puts another question) MINI---Father! What relation is Mother to you?
NARRATOR---My dear little sister in the law! (Murmures involuntarily to himself) Go and play with Bhola, Mini! I am busy! SCENE 2 :::
(The WINDOW of narrator’s room overlooks the road. The child has seated herself at narrator’s feet near his table, and is playing softly, drumming on her knees. Narrator is hard at work on his seventeenth chapter, where Protrap Singh, the hero, has just caught Kanchanmala, the heroine, in his arms, and is about to escape with her by the third story window of the castle when all of a sudden Mini leaves her play, and runs to the window) NARRATOR--- Ah! (feels a sigh of relief)
MINI ---Kabuliwala O kabuliwala ( Shouts )
(In the street below is a kabuliwala, passing slowly along. He has worn the loose soiled clothing of his people, with a tall turban; there is a bag on his back, and he carries boxes of grapes in his hand.) NARRATOR--- He will come in, and my seventeenth chapter will never be finished! (The Cabuliwallah turned, and looked up at the child. When she saw this, overcome by terror, she fled to her mother's protection, and disappeared.She had a blind belief that inside the bag, which the big man carried, there were perhaps two or three other children like herself)
SCENE 3
(The pedlar enters narrator’s doorway, and greets him with a smiling face.) NARRATOR---So precarious is the position of my hero and my heroine, that my first impulse was to stop and buy something (Since the man had been called narrator made some small purchases, and a conversation began about Abdurrahman, the Russians, the English, and the Frontier Policy) KABULIWALA---And where is the little girl, sir?
NARRATOR--- Mini must get rid of her false fear(Says to himself) (Mini stood by narrator’s chair, and looked at the Cabuliwallah and his bag) KABULIWALA---( offered her nuts and raisins)
SCENE 4
(One morning, however, not many days later, as narrator is leaving the house, he is startled to find Mini, seated on a bench near the door, laughing and talking, with the great Cabuliwallah at her feet) NARRATOR---Why did you give her those? (taking out an eight-anna bit, narrator handed it to him.) (AFTER SOME TIME WHEN NARRATOR RETURNS)
(Cabuliwallah had given the coin that narrator pays him, to Mini, and her mother catches sight of the bright round object) MINI’S MOTHER---Where did you get that eight-anna bit?
MINI---The Cabuliwallah gave it me
MINI’S MOTHER---The Cabuliwallah gave it you! Oh, Mini! how could you take it from him? (NARRATOR ENTERS) (Narrator saved her from her mother’s scoldings)
(It was not the first or second time that the two had met.) (They had many quaint jokes, which afforded them much amusement. MINI---O Cabuliwallah, Cabuliwallah, what have you got in your bag? KABULIWALA---An elephant!
(Not much cause for merriment, perhaps they both enjoyed the witticism!) KABULIWALA---Well, little one, and when are you going to the father-in-law's house? MINI---Are you going there?
(Amongst men of the Cabuliwallah's class, however, it is well known that the words father-in-law's house have a double meaning. It is a euphemism for jail, the place where we are well cared for, at no expense to ourselves.)...
