Every morning all the kids in the block used to wake up, brush and dress up and eat breakfast," One should never go to school on an empty stomach!" Says Pick-up Ettan. Pick-up Ettan is highly disciplined when it comes to what enters his Pick-up and what leaves his Pick-up.
Pick-up Ettan's get-up is a white pant-shirt combination. On special occasions a white shirt-white mundu. His Pick-up is a yellow 3 wheeled beast with a black round head. No horns required. It goes "tup-a-tup-tup". And everybody stands in attention at the gates, waiting in to be swallowed up and taken to the ooschool. On bumps the Pick-up, she goes "tuppam-tup-tuppam". It was a musical beast that Pick-up and Pick-up Ettan, that most venerable of conductors.
Once the Pick-up went "tuppam-tup-tuppam" over the bump and came down heavily with a "tappusss...". We reached school late that day. Pick-up Ettan got yelled at a lot by the ooschool maash (teacher). We didn't see the Pick-up or Pick-up Ettan the next day. After a few days, one evening we saw Pick-up Ettan, a forlorn figure with eyes closed under a tree.
His get-up of white and white pant-shirt, was dirty that day.
