You Know, Mn, I Said, Sometimes I Can T Understand Why You Re Telling Me These Stories, Or Even What The Stories Mean. What Do They Mean, Mn? Ever Heard The One About My Donkey? The Man Was Nuts. I Asked Him A Question, And He Answered With Another Question. As Thirteen-Year-Old Shashank Sits Despairing Over His Maths Homework, A Little Doodle Comes Alive And Reveals Himself As Mulla Nasruddin (Mn).

Shashank Starts Writing Down Mn S Hilarious Escapades Of Falling Off Roofs And Defeating The Travelling Brainies; Of Staying Dry In The Rain And Finding A Road On The Top Of A Tree; How He Once Ate A Whole Basket Of Chillies; And How He Tried To Get Rid Of Timur The Lame S Pet Elephant. Then One Day, While Doing A Search For Mn On The Internet, Shashank Finds Himself Trapped In A Magic Grid That He Must Use His Wits And Courage To Get Out Of. As He Looks Desperately For An Escape Route, Mn S Words Come Back, Ringing Loud And Clear, Showing Him How To Confront His Own Fear And Secret Sorrow To Emerge Unscathed And Happy.
