"Why don't we go a tour for sight seeing"' one day Mannamkatta asked Kareela.
"Yes Yes .I am ready to come with you" Kareela replied happily.
Both of them made all preparations and started the tour.Family and friends joined to wish them TATA.
Mannamkatta & Kareela saw so many men & women,boys & girls in colourful dress.
They saw so many vehicles passing by - bus,truck,car ,scooter and cycles.
"Be very careful .Walk only on the footpath" Mannamkatta told Kareela.
They saw lots of shops on the two sides of the road.
"Hey look at that. A TV shop" Mannamkatta said loudly.
"Wow! Sreesanth is bowling." He exclaimed.
Mannamkatta stood there watching cricket.Kareela became angry.
"These boys are mad of cricket" Kareela commended.
