Sample page from Qué edad tiene Muttajji? Spanish Version
Muttajji, madre de la madre de la madre de los gemelos, vivía en
Mysore con Ajji, que era la madre de la madre de los gemelos.
Nadie sabía cuándo era el cumpleaños de Muttajji; Pero Ajji
siempre lo había celebrado en las vacaciones de Makara
Sankranthi.
“Amma, ¿habrá un pastel?” -preguntó Putti. -¿Un pastel grande y
esponjoso con glaseado rosado y una rosa encima?
-Naah -dijo Putta-. “Las personas mayores no tienen pasteles de
cumpleaños, y 200 velas no caben en ningún pastel”.
“Muttajji no tiene 200 años, tonto”, dijo Putti. -¿Qué edad tiene
Muttajji, Amma?
Amma sonrió. -¿Por qué no le preguntas cuando llegamos?
