Dear Friends,

This is the first fortnightly issue of Tinkle. Thank you for all your encouraging and excited letters about this new development. The Tinkle elves have

been hard at work—spinning stories, drawing them out to life and generally having fun. The Tinkle Toons are

thrilled. They have been vying with each other to show off their latest adventures. Here’s looking forward to twice the fun, twice a month!

Speaking of fortnightly, I found some interesting stories about why the Moon waxes and wanes, giving us… the fortnight. The Inuit people of Greenland(earlier called Eskimos) believe that the Moon is a small boy who chases his sister, the Sun, across the sky. Tired from the chase and hungry because of it, the boy periodically grows thinner. Taking pity on him, his sister feeds him. Full again, the boy resumes his chase and thus you have the waning and waxing of the Moon!

Another story from Southern Nigeria talks about a time when the Moon, round and fat, felt sorry for a starving old woman. So it came down every night for the old woman to carve it up. This meant the Moon grew thinner every night. But the people grew worried when the light shed by the Moon grew weaker. So the next time, the Moon came down for a visit, they chased it right back to the sky. But since then, the Moon grows thinner progressively before it turns fat again, as a reminder of its generosity.

Do you have interesting folktales to tell us? Fun folklore that your parents, grandparents or other elders have shared with you? Share them with us. Who knows? You might just see them as Tinkle comics t

Affectionately yours,

Rajani

PS: Our joyful wishes to all those of you celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr (also known as Ramzan Eid), this month. Hope you all enjoy a fun-filled new school year. Happily this month has two interesting events—World UFO Day on the 2nd and World Chocolate Day on the 7th.

Back at Wai Knot’s house-

Look what you’ve done to our perfect

skipping rope!

Chhotu! Where’s, Chhotu?

{Huff} Sorry, Wai. I tried to

stop him, but he went straight after the cat

again.

why so glum? are you Worried about what your

dad’s going to say?

Yep. But I’m also worried about Chhotu. And I hate

worrying about other people.

Yeah, yeah. Cover your fear by being grumpy. Good job.

Chhotu, you made it back home. You smart dog,

you! So, someone took him out for a walk

despite being told not to. I wonder who?

{Gulp}

You’re grounded, Wai. Go to your room

immediately.

Say, Kia. Want to come with

Chhotu and me to the park?

Of course, Uncle. It’ll

be fun!

Why can’t I come?

{Tsk tsk} didn’t anyone teach you? Never ask why,

always ask ‘why not’?

2. What did the teacher do when her students didn't understand addition?She ‘summed’ it up for them

3. Why did Little Suppandi carry a ladder to school?Because it was ‘high’ school

4. Why was everyone scared of the chemistry teacher?He was always over ‘reacting’

It's so tiresome to circumnavigate

That's my ladder to

No clue. Anyway, let’s ask Uncle.

What say, Uncle?

You’ll need some long and light paper or cloth for this.

Aahil… look! That would be perfect

for our kite!

Let’s grab it!
