Suku was very good in academics and had a curious mind that prompted him to explore unknowns with enthusiasm. Once, he got attracted to his fathers' beaming Parker pen that he found in his father's desk drawer and became tempted to take it to his school to impress his friends. That very day, he also carried a live beetle to school, encased in a box to try studying its behavior through the day and perhaps to catch few bits of advice about the insect from his biology teacher - Father Dyson. But things went out of control as his classmate – Mary Alva, became curious to know about both these curious collections. The insect broke loose and created panic among the kids before jetting out of the window. The resultant commotion also threw the valuable pen somewhere under the desks, and Suku was bitter and anxious about losing both his valuables. That evening, Sukus' father came to enquire about his writing-pen, but a scared Suku could not admit the truth, and to the contrary, he tried pushing the blame onto his brother Ruku. Ruku, who was innocent and upright, became very upset. Suku became crestfallen after realizing his timidity, while Dr. Mukherjee felt sad since he expected one of his sons to admit his mistake as such accidents might have happened with anyone. Did Suku manage to overcome his fear psychosis in admitting the truth, and what lessons did the two kids learn in the bargain?? Tune in to this all-time classic children's literature from the legendary Sanjib Chattopadhyay in yet another classic collection from the "MyStoryGenie" Bengali Audiobooks series.Mostra libro
