Sringeri Srinivas Learns to LaughAuthor Rohini NilekaniIllustrator Angie amp Upesh
Sringeri Srinivas was a good farmerHe grew the best bananas which made the best banana halwa
2
But he also had the scariest frown in the worldWhen he was angry his forehead became full of deep linesHis nose became red His eyes became very sharp
3
When Sringeri Srinivas frowned everyone ran away from him His wife his children and his friends tried tohide His cows and his dogs ran away Even the crows in the field flew away when Sringeri Srinivas frowned
4
And Sringeri Srinivas frowned often When his crops were not growing well When his barber had no time tocut his hair When the TV did not work And so on And on
5
One day Sringeri Srinivas went into his field to look at his banana harvest He was in a bad mood No oneknew why
6
He walked quickly to his biggest banana plant There were big bunches of lovely fruitSoon he would begin to make his famous banana halwa His frown changed to a small smile
7
Just then a troop of monkeys came swinging from a tree nearby The biggest one with a fiery red bottomjumped exactly onto the plant that Sringeri Srinivas was looking at proudly
8
This made him frown again His frown grew and grew It was his biggest frown ever It began from his headand spread right to his toes
9
The monkey with his own nasty temper was surprised He had never seen a frown like that He dropped ahalf-peeled banana on the ground then he dropped a few more Quickly he jumped to the next plant andthen the next Soon he was far away and safe from the frown
10
Sringeri Srinivas saw the monkey leap from plant to plant He chased the monkey He wanted to teach themonkey a lesson
11
On the way he slipped on a banana peelSwoosh he went down and his chappals got stuck in the mud
12
Sringeri Srinivas sat up and tried to chase the monkey againSwoosh He slipped again This time he fell with his face down
13
Somehow he managed to sit up again his mouth full of leaves and mud and twigs When he looked up themonkeys had gone
14
Sringeri Srinivas looked down at himself His nice shirt was brown His hands were dirty and scratched Hecould not even find his own legs They were all mixed up in the soil
15
Suddenly he realised that he looked very funny Sringeri Srinivas the famous farmerHe was now sitting all by himself on a pile of leaves mud and bananas It was all very funnyAnd Sringeri Srinivas began to laugh It was a little laugh at first Hee HeeThen it became bigger Ha Ha
16
The more he laughed the more Sringeri Srinivas wanted to laugh
The laugh grew bigger HA HA HA And bigger
Soon he was clutching his stomach and rolling on the mud HA HA HA HAAAATears were rolling out of his eyes
17
The laugh was so musical that the birds nearby came to listen The laugh was so loud that the monkeyscame back The laugh was so funny that many kids came along The laugh was so new that his whole familycame out to hear it too
18
Sringeri Srinivas laughed so much that everyone else began to laugh as well The birds twittered The crowscawed The monkeys chattered The kids began to giggle The banana plants began to sway The barber inthe shop grinned The tailor began to chortle Even the tiger sleeping far away in his cave smiled into hiswhiskers
19
Suddenly Sringeri Srinivas finished laughing Everything and everyone around him looked so happy He felthappy too ldquoCome on letrsquos go homerdquo he said holding his hands out to his children
Sringeri Srinivas still frowns sometimes But now he also likes to laugh And he has the biggest laugh intown

I do not know why I woke up very early todaySoon I saw that it was a strange new day
2
Nothing at all was as it really should beAnd I could hear someone shouting loudly at me
3
Our cot had climbed right up the wallAnd my little clock had grown very tall
4
Our umbrella was twirling madly round and roundMy red and blue cap was making a clicking sound
5
What on earth has happened to our little roomI fear I am going to faint very soon
6
The fan has turned into a big octopusMy sisters doll is eating dal and rice without a fuss
7
Our cat is sitting up in Papas chairAnd look A mouse is reading the news on the air
8
In the mirror - Aah See I am seven feet highI know I am going to loudly cry
9
But now look Here comes a magic manldquoSorry Sorryrdquo he says ldquoI will do what I canrdquo
10
ldquoYes yes It was I who made this little messIt was not so nice of me I do confessrdquo
11

But he also had the scariest frown in the worldWhen he was angry his forehead became full of deep linesHis nose became red His eyes became very sharp
3
When Sringeri Srinivas frowned everyone ran away from him His wife his children and his friends tried tohide His cows and his dogs ran away Even the crows in the field flew away when Sringeri Srinivas frowned
4
And Sringeri Srinivas frowned often When his crops were not growing well When his barber had no time tocut his hair When the TV did not work And so on And on
5
One day Sringeri Srinivas went into his field to look at his banana harvest He was in a bad mood No oneknew why
6
He walked quickly to his biggest banana plant There were big bunches of lovely fruitSoon he would begin to make his famous banana halwa His frown changed to a small smile
7
Just then a troop of monkeys came swinging from a tree nearby The biggest one with a fiery red bottomjumped exactly onto the plant that Sringeri Srinivas was looking at proudly
8
This made him frown again His frown grew and grew It was his biggest frown ever It began from his headand spread right to his toes
9
The monkey with his own nasty temper was surprised He had never seen a frown like that He dropped ahalf-peeled banana on the ground then he dropped a few more Quickly he jumped to the next plant andthen the next Soon he was far away and safe from the frown
10
Sringeri Srinivas saw the monkey leap from plant to plant He chased the monkey He wanted to teach themonkey a lesson
11
On the way he slipped on a banana peelSwoosh he went down and his chappals got stuck in the mud
12
Sringeri Srinivas sat up and tried to chase the monkey againSwoosh He slipped again This time he fell with his face down
13
Somehow he managed to sit up again his mouth full of leaves and mud and twigs When he looked up themonkeys had gone
14
Sringeri Srinivas looked down at himself His nice shirt was brown His hands were dirty and scratched Hecould not even find his own legs They were all mixed up in the soil
15
Suddenly he realised that he looked very funny Sringeri Srinivas the famous farmerHe was now sitting all by himself on a pile of leaves mud and bananas It was all very funnyAnd Sringeri Srinivas began to laugh It was a little laugh at first Hee HeeThen it became bigger Ha Ha
16
The more he laughed the more Sringeri Srinivas wanted to laugh
The laugh grew bigger HA HA HA And bigger
Soon he was clutching his stomach and rolling on the mud HA HA HA HAAAATears were rolling out of his eyes
17
The laugh was so musical that the birds nearby came to listen The laugh was so loud that the monkeyscame back The laugh was so funny that many kids came along The laugh was so new that his whole familycame out to hear it too
18
Sringeri Srinivas laughed so much that everyone else began to laugh as well The birds twittered The crowscawed The monkeys chattered The kids began to giggle The banana plants began to sway The barber inthe shop grinned The tailor began to chortle Even the tiger sleeping far away in his cave smiled into hiswhiskers
19
Suddenly Sringeri Srinivas finished laughing Everything and everyone around him looked so happy He felthappy too ldquoCome on letrsquos go homerdquo he said holding his hands out to his children
Sringeri Srinivas still frowns sometimes But now he also likes to laugh And he has the biggest laugh intown

I do not know why I woke up very early todaySoon I saw that it was a strange new day
2
Nothing at all was as it really should beAnd I could hear someone shouting loudly at me
3
Our cot had climbed right up the wallAnd my little clock had grown very tall
4
Our umbrella was twirling madly round and roundMy red and blue cap was making a clicking sound
5
What on earth has happened to our little roomI fear I am going to faint very soon
6
The fan has turned into a big octopusMy sisters doll is eating dal and rice without a fuss
7
Our cat is sitting up in Papas chairAnd look A mouse is reading the news on the air
8
In the mirror - Aah See I am seven feet highI know I am going to loudly cry
9
But now look Here comes a magic manldquoSorry Sorryrdquo he says ldquoI will do what I canrdquo
10
ldquoYes yes It was I who made this little messIt was not so nice of me I do confessrdquo
11
So Abra-ca-da-dabra chin chin chooRoom Get back in order - one - three - two

Nothing at all was as it really should beAnd I could hear someone shouting loudly at me
3
Our cot had climbed right up the wallAnd my little clock had grown very tall
4
Our umbrella was twirling madly round and roundMy red and blue cap was making a clicking sound
5
What on earth has happened to our little roomI fear I am going to faint very soon
6
The fan has turned into a big octopusMy sisters doll is eating dal and rice without a fuss
7
Our cat is sitting up in Papas chairAnd look A mouse is reading the news on the air
8
In the mirror - Aah See I am seven feet highI know I am going to loudly cry
9
But now look Here comes a magic manldquoSorry Sorryrdquo he says ldquoI will do what I canrdquo
10
ldquoYes yes It was I who made this little messIt was not so nice of me I do confessrdquo
11
So Abra-ca-da-dabra chin chin chooRoom Get back in order - one - three - two

And Sringeri Srinivas frowned often When his crops were not growing well When his barber had no time tocut his hair When the TV did not work And so on And on
5
One day Sringeri Srinivas went into his field to look at his banana harvest He was in a bad mood No oneknew why
6
He walked quickly to his biggest banana plant There were big bunches of lovely fruitSoon he would begin to make his famous banana halwa His frown changed to a small smile
7
Just then a troop of monkeys came swinging from a tree nearby The biggest one with a fiery red bottomjumped exactly onto the plant that Sringeri Srinivas was looking at proudly
8
This made him frown again His frown grew and grew It was his biggest frown ever It began from his headand spread right to his toes
9
The monkey with his own nasty temper was surprised He had never seen a frown like that He dropped ahalf-peeled banana on the ground then he dropped a few more Quickly he jumped to the next plant andthen the next Soon he was far away and safe from the frown
10
Sringeri Srinivas saw the monkey leap from plant to plant He chased the monkey He wanted to teach themonkey a lesson
11
On the way he slipped on a banana peelSwoosh he went down and his chappals got stuck in the mud
12
Sringeri Srinivas sat up and tried to chase the monkey againSwoosh He slipped again This time he fell with his face down
13
Somehow he managed to sit up again his mouth full of leaves and mud and twigs When he looked up themonkeys had gone
14
Sringeri Srinivas looked down at himself His nice shirt was brown His hands were dirty and scratched Hecould not even find his own legs They were all mixed up in the soil
15
Suddenly he realised that he looked very funny Sringeri Srinivas the famous farmerHe was now sitting all by himself on a pile of leaves mud and bananas It was all very funnyAnd Sringeri Srinivas began to laugh It was a little laugh at first Hee HeeThen it became bigger Ha Ha
16
The more he laughed the more Sringeri Srinivas wanted to laugh
The laugh grew bigger HA HA HA And bigger
Soon he was clutching his stomach and rolling on the mud HA HA HA HAAAATears were rolling out of his eyes
17
The laugh was so musical that the birds nearby came to listen The laugh was so loud that the monkeyscame back The laugh was so funny that many kids came along The laugh was so new that his whole familycame out to hear it too
18
Sringeri Srinivas laughed so much that everyone else began to laugh as well The birds twittered The crowscawed The monkeys chattered The kids began to giggle The banana plants began to sway The barber inthe shop grinned The tailor began to chortle Even the tiger sleeping far away in his cave smiled into hiswhiskers
19
Suddenly Sringeri Srinivas finished laughing Everything and everyone around him looked so happy He felthappy too ldquoCome on letrsquos go homerdquo he said holding his hands out to his children
Sringeri Srinivas still frowns sometimes But now he also likes to laugh And he has the biggest laugh intown

One day Sringeri Srinivas went into his field to look at his banana harvest He was in a bad mood No oneknew why
6
He walked quickly to his biggest banana plant There were big bunches of lovely fruitSoon he would begin to make his famous banana halwa His frown changed to a small smile
7
Just then a troop of monkeys came swinging from a tree nearby The biggest one with a fiery red bottomjumped exactly onto the plant that Sringeri Srinivas was looking at proudly
8
This made him frown again His frown grew and grew It was his biggest frown ever It began from his headand spread right to his toes
9
The monkey with his own nasty temper was surprised He had never seen a frown like that He dropped ahalf-peeled banana on the ground then he dropped a few more Quickly he jumped to the next plant andthen the next Soon he was far away and safe from the frown
10
Sringeri Srinivas saw the monkey leap from plant to plant He chased the monkey He wanted to teach themonkey a lesson
11
On the way he slipped on a banana peelSwoosh he went down and his chappals got stuck in the mud
12
Sringeri Srinivas sat up and tried to chase the monkey againSwoosh He slipped again This time he fell with his face down
13
Somehow he managed to sit up again his mouth full of leaves and mud and twigs When he looked up themonkeys had gone
14
Sringeri Srinivas looked down at himself His nice shirt was brown His hands were dirty and scratched Hecould not even find his own legs They were all mixed up in the soil
15
Suddenly he realised that he looked very funny Sringeri Srinivas the famous farmerHe was now sitting all by himself on a pile of leaves mud and bananas It was all very funnyAnd Sringeri Srinivas began to laugh It was a little laugh at first Hee HeeThen it became bigger Ha Ha
16
The more he laughed the more Sringeri Srinivas wanted to laugh
The laugh grew bigger HA HA HA And bigger
Soon he was clutching his stomach and rolling on the mud HA HA HA HAAAATears were rolling out of his eyes
17
The laugh was so musical that the birds nearby came to listen The laugh was so loud that the monkeyscame back The laugh was so funny that many kids came along The laugh was so new that his whole familycame out to hear it too
18
Sringeri Srinivas laughed so much that everyone else began to laugh as well The birds twittered The crowscawed The monkeys chattered The kids began to giggle The banana plants began to sway The barber inthe shop grinned The tailor began to chortle Even the tiger sleeping far away in his cave smiled into hiswhiskers
19
Suddenly Sringeri Srinivas finished laughing Everything and everyone around him looked so happy He felthappy too ldquoCome on letrsquos go homerdquo he said holding his hands out to his children
Sringeri Srinivas still frowns sometimes But now he also likes to laugh And he has the biggest laugh intown

I do not know why I woke up very early todaySoon I saw that it was a strange new day
2
Nothing at all was as it really should beAnd I could hear someone shouting loudly at me
3
Our cot had climbed right up the wallAnd my little clock had grown very tall
4
Our umbrella was twirling madly round and roundMy red and blue cap was making a clicking sound
5
What on earth has happened to our little roomI fear I am going to faint very soon
6
The fan has turned into a big octopusMy sisters doll is eating dal and rice without a fuss
7
Our cat is sitting up in Papas chairAnd look A mouse is reading the news on the air
8
In the mirror - Aah See I am seven feet highI know I am going to loudly cry
9
But now look Here comes a magic manldquoSorry Sorryrdquo he says ldquoI will do what I canrdquo
10
ldquoYes yes It was I who made this little messIt was not so nice of me I do confessrdquo
11
So Abra-ca-da-dabra chin chin chooRoom Get back in order - one - three - two

11
On the way he slipped on a banana peelSwoosh he went down and his chappals got stuck in the mud

The laugh was so musical that the birds nearby came to listen The laugh was so loud that the monkeyscame back The laugh was so funny that many kids came along The laugh was so new that his whole familycame out to hear it too

Our cot had climbed right up the wallAnd my little clock had grown very tall
4
Our umbrella was twirling madly round and roundMy red and blue cap was making a clicking sound
5
What on earth has happened to our little roomI fear I am going to faint very soon
6
The fan has turned into a big octopusMy sisters doll is eating dal and rice without a fuss
7
Our cat is sitting up in Papas chairAnd look A mouse is reading the news on the air
8
In the mirror - Aah See I am seven feet highI know I am going to loudly cry
9
But now look Here comes a magic manldquoSorry Sorryrdquo he says ldquoI will do what I canrdquo
10
ldquoYes yes It was I who made this little messIt was not so nice of me I do confessrdquo

I do not know why I woke up very early todaySoon I saw that it was a strange new day
2
Nothing at all was as it really should beAnd I could hear someone shouting loudly at me
3
Our cot had climbed right up the wallAnd my little clock had grown very tall
4
Our umbrella was twirling madly round and roundMy red and blue cap was making a clicking sound
5
What on earth has happened to our little roomI fear I am going to faint very soon
6
The fan has turned into a big octopusMy sisters doll is eating dal and rice without a fuss
7
Our cat is sitting up in Papas chairAnd look A mouse is reading the news on the air
8
In the mirror - Aah See I am seven feet highI know I am going to loudly cry
9
But now look Here comes a magic manldquoSorry Sorryrdquo he says ldquoI will do what I canrdquo
10
ldquoYes yes It was I who made this little messIt was not so nice of me I do confessrdquo
11
So Abra-ca-da-dabra chin chin chooRoom Get back in order - one - three - two

I do not know why I woke up very early todaySoon I saw that it was a strange new day
2
Nothing at all was as it really should beAnd I could hear someone shouting loudly at me
3
Our cot had climbed right up the wallAnd my little clock had grown very tall
4
Our umbrella was twirling madly round and roundMy red and blue cap was making a clicking sound
5
What on earth has happened to our little roomI fear I am going to faint very soon
6
The fan has turned into a big octopusMy sisters doll is eating dal and rice without a fuss
7
Our cat is sitting up in Papas chairAnd look A mouse is reading the news on the air
8
In the mirror - Aah See I am seven feet highI know I am going to loudly cry
9
But now look Here comes a magic manldquoSorry Sorryrdquo he says ldquoI will do what I canrdquo
10
ldquoYes yes It was I who made this little messIt was not so nice of me I do confessrdquo
11
So Abra-ca-da-dabra chin chin chooRoom Get back in order - one - three - two

I do not know why I woke up very early todaySoon I saw that it was a strange new day
2
Nothing at all was as it really should beAnd I could hear someone shouting loudly at me
3
Our cot had climbed right up the wallAnd my little clock had grown very tall
4
Our umbrella was twirling madly round and roundMy red and blue cap was making a clicking sound
5
What on earth has happened to our little roomI fear I am going to faint very soon
6
The fan has turned into a big octopusMy sisters doll is eating dal and rice without a fuss
7
Our cat is sitting up in Papas chairAnd look A mouse is reading the news on the air
8
In the mirror - Aah See I am seven feet highI know I am going to loudly cry
9
But now look Here comes a magic manldquoSorry Sorryrdquo he says ldquoI will do what I canrdquo
10
ldquoYes yes It was I who made this little messIt was not so nice of me I do confessrdquo
11
So Abra-ca-da-dabra chin chin chooRoom Get back in order - one - three - two
