The Boo in the Shoe
By Kuzhali Manickavel
Have you ever
seen Boos?
They are playful creatures
you think you see
under your bed at night.
Some look like orange zebras,
others like flying snails.
others like flying snails.
They can tease
or make you sneeze -
they can even make
chocolates appear in empty pockets!
Puzzle, the Boo
looked a bit
like an elephant,
only he was purple
most of the time
and the size of a mouse.
Meera stumbled upon him
one morning by accident.
There he was, sniffing
and moaning,
his backside firmly wedged
inside her shoe.
"I must be dreaming,"
she thought.
She poked him
to see what would happen.
"Ouch!" howled Puzzle.
"Oh!
I'm very sorry,"
she apologized.
"I'm stuck!"
he bawled.
In fact,
he had been stuck there
all night
and had given up hope
of ever getting free.
Meera examined him closely.
"Let me see if I
can help,"
she said,
pulling him by the legs.
She pushed him from behind.
She pushed him from behind.
She even
banged
the shoe against the floor.
"I could put you in
soapy water,"
she suggested.
No,
Puzzle was scared of bubbles.
"What if I poured
oil on you?"
she asked.
Puzzle began to squeak
and sob.
He certainly didn't want
oil poured on him!
"I know how to stop you from crying!"
"I know how to stop you from crying!"
Meera shouted merrily.
She started to tickle Puzzle.
Boos
are very ticklish,
and soon he was squirming
and giggling.
The more Meera tickled him,
the more he squirmed
until suddenly...
"Look! You're unstuck!"
cried Meera excitedly,
clapping her hands.
Puzzle blinked.
He wiggled his legs.
He wiggled his tail.
Then he wiggled
his whole body,
just to make sure.
just to make sure.
"Yay! I'm free!"
he trumpeted
as he bounced around the room.
He bounced onto her hand
and smiled.
"What would you like before
I go?
Chocolates?
Shall I make your school disappear?"
"Do you have to go?"
asked Meera sadly.
"I wish
you could stay.
We could be friends!"
Boos didn't have
human friends.
"That's a great idea!" he squeaked.
"That's a great idea!" he squeaked.
"Just say
'Puzzle the Boo,
I want to see you'
and I'll come!"
"Promise?"
she asked.
"I promise!"
winked Puzzle.
winked Puzzle.
The school bus
honked loudly.
"Okay,
we'll play
after school.
See you later!"
she said
as she rushed outside.
After school,
Meera went to the garden.
She shut her eyes and murmured
the magic words.
There was a
humming sound,
and Puzzle appeared
in a flash!
They laughed
and played
until sunset.
And from that day on,
Meera and Puzzle
became best friends.
