Thaathi goes shopping

She put some money in a roll of paper
Put the roll in her tiny string bag
Put the bag into her purse
Put the purse into her sari fold
And tied it up in a big tight knot.

Then Thaathi went shopping.

She bought a string of jasmines for Rs.10.
She untied the knot and took out her purse
Unzipped the purse and took out the bag
Undid the bag and took out the paper
Unrolled the paper and took out the money
And gave it to the jasmine seller.

Next she bought some betel leaves for Rs. 5.
She untied the knot and took out her purse
Unzipped the purse and took out the bag
Undid the bag and took out the paper
Unrolled the paper and took out the money
And gave it to the betel seller.

Then she bought two bananas for Rs. 4.
She untied the knot and took out her purse
Unzipped the purse and took out the bag
Undid the bag and took out the paper
Unrolled the paper and took out the money
And gave it to the banana seller.

Now there was no money left with Thaathi.
So she folded her paper into a roll
Put the roll in her tiny string bag
Put the bag into her purse
Put the purse into her sari fold
And tied it up in a big tight knot.

And Thaathi went home.
