Bosco and his loyal team—Ramduth the monkey, Biscuit the dog, and Malini the cat—were riding in the car on their way to a grand dinner. Bosco had thoughtfully packed supplies for everyone: banana fingers for Ramduth, dog food for Biscuit, and a carton of milk for Malini.

That evening, Bosco had been invited to a magnificent dinner hosted by the Governor of the State of Newpark.

Before stepping out of the car, Bosco turned to Ramduth.

“While I attend the dinner,” he said, “you are in charge of everyone.”

Ramduth puffed out his chest proudly. Responsibility suited him well.

Bosco entered the magnificent dining hall, glittering with chandeliers and lively conversation. He took his assigned seat at the governor’s table, where members of the governor’s family eagerly questioned him about his adventures around the world—his work protecting forests, oceans, animals, and the environment.

Meanwhile, outside the gates, Bosco’s three companions waited patiently.

Trouble at the Gate

Unfortunately, several high-ranking officials passing through the gate noticed the unusual trio.

“A monkey, a dog, and a cat unattended?” one exclaimed.

They promptly called the Municipal Animal Welfare Department.

Before long, officers arrived and collected the three animals, placing them in adjoining locked cages at the city’s animal pound.

Inside the cages, the teammates calmly discussed their situation.

“Well,” said Ramduth philosophically, “this is inconvenient—but temporary.”

As soon as the officers became busy with other animals, the three performed one of their remarkable tricks. They shrank themselves small enough to slip between the bars.

Freedom!

Moments later they morphed into human beings.

Ramduth became a dignified lady, Biscuit a cheerful young man, and Malini a schoolgirl. Together they looked like an ordinary family.

They boarded a free municipal bus and headed back toward the governor’s residence.

Kangaroos on the Lawn

At the governor’s gate, the guards noticed the three strangers carrying bananas, dog food, and milk cartons.

“Loiterers!” one guard muttered, calling private security.

The trio quickly improvised.

In a flash, they transformed again—this time into kangaroos.

Ramduth became a large kangaroo with Malini tucked safely in her pouch as a tiny joey. Biscuit turned into another energetic kangaroo.

They hopped merrily across the grounds.

Sometimes they appeared as people.
Sometimes as kangaroos.
Sometimes they vanished from sight altogether.

The guards were utterly bewildered.

“Did you see kangaroos?”

“No—three people!”

“Wait… now they’re kangaroos again!”

Soon the security team was completely baffled.

At last, the dinner ended. The guards abandoned their fruitless search and returned to their posts.

Quietly, Bosco’s teammates slipped back into the car and hid low in the seats.

Bosco came out, saw them waiting, smiled knowingly, and drove away.

A Call from Krepoli

During the drive home, Bosco received an urgent phone call from his friend Mallan on the tropical island nation of Krepoli.

Krepoli was famous for its lush forests, beautiful beaches, and extraordinary wildlife. But lately, a loosely organized gang of thieves had begun robbing tourists.

Mallan ran a popular safari for visitors through forests filled with exotic birds, monkeys, elephants, lions, and tigers.

“I need your help,” Mallan said.

Bosco didn’t hesitate.

“Tomorrow,” he replied, “we’ll be there.”

The Corrupt Customs Officers

The next day, Bosco and his team flew to Krepoli.

At customs, they immediately encountered corruption.

While one officer inspected their handbags, another secretly slipped suspicious glassine packets into them.

Soon an officer declared sternly:

“Open your bags. We suspect contraband.”

Bosco calmly complied.

The bags were sent to a retention facility while hidden cameras observed the travelers’ reactions under stress.

But Bosco remained calm.

Using his quiet yogic powers, he transformed the suspicious glassine packets into chocolate bars that had been handed out by the flight attendants.

When the supervising officer arrived for inspection, the corrupt officer proudly demanded that Bosco open his bag.

Bosco did so.

Inside were only chocolate bars.

The officer turned pale.

The same was true in every bag.

The supervisor apologized profusely and arranged a taxi to take Bosco and his companions to their hotel at the department’s expense.

The corrupt officer was instructed to report to the supervisor’s office later

The taxi driver took their destination and started driving.

Twenty minutes passed. Then forty.

After an hour, they still had not reached the hotel.

Bosco knew the hotel was only twenty minutes away.

When questioned, the driver explained vaguely that the hotel was “very far.”

In truth, he was joyfully touring the entire island because the Customs Department was paying the fare.

Bosco decided to teach him a lesson.

With a gentle concentration of his mind, Bosco placed the taxi on auto-drive.

Suddenly the taxi ignored the driver’s steering, brakes, and pedals.

The car calmly drove itself straight to the hotel entrance.

The bewildered driver could only watch.

He received no tip.

At the hotel reception desk, the clerk claimed Bosco had no reservation.

A porter quietly suggested that a “small commission” might speed things up.

At that very moment, the hotel owner called the front desk.

“Have Mr. Bosco and his associates arrived?”

The clerk panicked and announced loudly over the public address system:

“Mr. Bosco, please come to the front desk!”

The check-in was completed immediately.

That night, the team relaxed in their luxurious room.

Exhausted from maintaining human shapes all day, they returned to their natural forms—Ramduth the monkey, Biscuit the dog, and Malini the cat.

At 9 PM, a maid knocked and opened the door.

She saw the three animals inside.

She screamed, dropped the towels, and ran.

Two security guards rushed in moments later.

Inside the room, they saw only four calm humans—Bosco watching television, two people sitting on the sofa, and one stepping out of the bathroom.

The guards scratched their heads and left.

The next morning Mallan took them on safari.

Deep in the forest was a large protective enclosure called The Bubble, where tourists could safely rest and eat.

While people were relaxing there, a gang of thieves suddenly broke through the gates and began robbing everyone—cash, jewelry, cameras, everything.

Two gang members held guns.

Bosco nodded quietly to his team.

Instantly:

Ramduth transformed into a gigantic monkey five times his size.
Biscuit became a fierce attack dog.
Malini turned into a magnificent giant tiger.

Bosco used his yogic powers to shield the tourists from harm.

Malini leapt upon the first gunman, disarmed him, and dragged him away.

Biscuit bit the robbers’ feet, sending them sprawling.

Ramduth cornered the second gunman, lifted him high, and spun him above his head until the terrified man begged for mercy.

Within minutes the gang was defeated.

When the forest police arrived, the thieves were tied up and waiting.

Bosco and his team enjoyed the rest of the safari in peace.

Over the next two weeks, they helped capture the remaining criminals across the island.

At last, tranquility returned to Krepoli.

Tourists returned.
The forests were peaceful again.

Mallan thanked Bosco and his extraordinary team.

And soon, Bosco, Ramduth, Biscuit, and Malini set off toward their next adventure.
