Text and Images from Takloo the Little Salt Seller
Takloo was a little boy from Anjarle, a small village in the farm far west if India.
If you went further west, you would be a fish in the ocean.
Anjarle was beautiful it has many trees.
It also had many squirrels. Squirrels love nuts and Anjarle had many nuts, even betel nuts.
