Once Mahatma Gandhi
Was staying in an Ashram
On a mountain top
However a girl
Of age ten
Came to know of his stay
Holding his little brother
About age of three
She started ascending
Breathing long,
Heaving heavy and sweating,
She reached the top at last.
Mahatma when saw her
Out of pity he melted and said:
"He must be very heavy. Isn't he..?"
With amazement she said:
" What are you saying Bapu
He is my brother! "
( Bapu: a nickname of Gandhi)
