Text and Images from Un lion en cavale
Il s’est mis à pleuvoir sans discontinuer. Le ciel a pleuré à chaudes larmes sans s’arrêter, jusqu’à ce que les nuages aient pénétré les cœurs et que tout le monde se sente aussi gris et morose que le temps. Et la pluie continuait à tomber sans s’arrêter.
Les gens restaient chez eux, abattus et rongés par l’ennui.
— Qu’est-ce qu’on peut FAIRE ? demanda Geeti.
— Il ne nous arrive jamais rien de sympa, se lamenta Vikki.
Leur mère ne les autorisa pas à sortir, mais elle tenta de leur remonter le moral en leur préparant des pakodas bien chauds et croustillants. Les enfants l’aidèrent, en coupant les pommes de terre, les oignons, les épinards et les choux-fleurs.
Les pakodas étaient délicieux. Ils les mangèrent chauds, trempés dans un chutney vert bien relevé. Ils eurent bientôt le ventre plein. Leur mère plaça le reste de pakodas sur un plateau et les couvrit afin que les enfants puissent les manger le lendemain, avec du lassi froid et les rotis* qui restaient.
Les enfants se tenaient devant la fenêtre.
— Je me demande ce que font les animaux et les oiseaux, dit Geeti, l’air pensif.
— Ils doivent être cloîtrés dans leurs cages, répondit Vikki.
