REEVA'S TEETAR RIDDLE

There once was a very mischievous boy, Kabir, and he enjoyed troubling others. He was clever and good at studies, but also a first-class mischief-maker.

He had two sisters. Reeva was the eldest sister. She was studying in inter (intermediate or the 12th grade). Kabir was younger than her, and Priya was the youngest, only seven years old. This year, she joined the second grade, while Kabir studied in the seventh grade.

One evening, when Reeva returned from school, Kabir quietly whispered, “Didi, papa has brought sweets today.”

“Really?” Reeva was delighted to hear this.

“Yes, really, Didi. I saw it with my own eyes. Mummy has kept the sweets in the fridge. Everyone will get some after dinner tonight,” he said in a hushed voice.

“Oh! What kind of sweets are they?” she asked eagerly.

“That I don’t know. They were in a box. It was a box from Uday Sweet Shop,” Kabir replied.

“Then they must be peda. The peda from that shop is very delicious,” Reeva guessed, her mouth watering. She loved peda.

“Yes, maybe it is peda,” Kabir said with a smile.

Reeva believed him. It often happened that papa brought sweets home while returning from the office, and mummy would give them to everyone after dinner. Reeva told Priya about this, who got excited as well. Both of them began looking forward to dinner.
