🌟 Bosco and His Team — Ramduth, Biscuit, and Malini 🌟

Bosco’s neighbor worked for the government. Balu was his ten-year-old son.

Balu made friends with Bosco, Ramduth, Biscuit, and Malini.
Balu’s father was never home all the time — he traveled to many cities and villages on government business. His mother was his only caretaker when his father was away.

👉 He played with Ramduth, Biscuit, and Malini whenever he could, especially during weekends and summer holidays.
Balu’s mother trusted Bosco to send Balu with him and his team.

🏖️ Summer Adventures

School was closed for the summer.
Balu had plenty of time on his hands and played with Bosco’s team.

💫 He got along very well with the team members:

• 🐒 Ramduth the monkey,
• 🐕 Biscuit the dog, and
• 🐈 Malini the cat.

🛍️ The Magical Mall Trip

Once, Bosco went shopping and took his team and Balu with him.

When they entered the Springer Mall, with Bosco’s will, something magical happened! ✨

• Ramduth became an eighteen-year-old teenage boy 👦
• Biscuit turned into a sixteen-year-old girl 👧
• Malini shimmered into a thirteen-year-old teenage girl 👩‍🦱

😮 Amazing! But Bosco knew this could confuse Balu.
So he had a clever solution: a spell of retrograde amnesia!

Whenever the team changed back, Balu would forget their human forms and only remember:
🐒 Ramduth as a monkey, 🐕 Biscuit as a dog, and 🐈 Malini as a cat.

🎡 Fun at the Pavilion

All four of them romped happily in the mall’s sports pavilion.

Yes, the team spoke English with Balu to make him feel at ease.
Sometimes the spell slipped — Ramduth screeched “Eeeek!”, Biscuit barked “Woof-woof!”, and Malini meowed “Meowww!” 🐾

Balu just laughed, thinking they were pulling pranks on him.

Bosco bought dog and cat food. 🥫 Balu saw them but — poof! — once the spell broke, he forgot all about it.

🚨 Trouble at the Mall!

Suddenly — BANG! POP! CRACK! — they all heard noises, like the backfiring of a car’s exhaust.

But it wasn’t a car…

😱 There was an active shooter in the mall!

The team snapped to attention. Bosco gave them instructions through telepathy 🌀.

In a flash, they transformed back into their animal forms:
🐒 Ramduth the monkey, 🐕 Biscuit the dog, 🐈 Malini the cat.

They ran toward the danger.

🦸 Brave Heroes in Disguise

When they spotted the shooter, they slowed down, pretending to be nothing more than ordinary animals.

The man ignored them, stomping through the mall, firing wildly.
People ran helter-skelter 🏃💨, hiding in shops and restrooms.
The mall cameras rolled. People snapped photos from every angle.

Then — the rescue began!

• Ramduth 🐒 leapt from behind, jumped on the man’s neck, and covered his eyes!
• Biscuit 🐕 sprang with a mighty jump. The shooter aimed his gun at Biscuit — but before he could fire, Biscuit grabbed the gun’s muzzle and ran away with it!
• Malini 🐈 leapt onto his face and scratched fiercely — SWISH! SWIPE! SCRATCH! — leaving him bleeding.

The crowd gasped. The mall cameras caught it all.

🎥 What People Saw… and Didn’t See

Security detained the man until police arrived.
People told the police the wild story — but the officers didn’t believe it.

They reviewed the security recordings.
📹 There was no monkey, no dog, no cat. Only the shooter’s bleeding face — an unexplained mystery!

Even Balu remembered the shooting… but not the animals’ heroics.

🏡 Back Home

Bosco, Balu, and the team went home.

Balu remembered only the fun rides in the sports pavilion —
the magical heroics of Ramduth, Biscuit, and Malini were erased from his memory.

✨ But Bosco and the team knew the truth:
They had saved the day.
