February 4. “Button, come quickly and see this picture.”

“Unbelievable. Where was this carried?”

“In the Afternoon Despatch & Courier but the picture was shot on the streets of Kolkata.”

“That’s a huge rooster. Just see how big his crown is and his beard is almost touching the ground! He doesn’t seem to give a darn to the world passing by, happily ensconced on his doggie friend’s back!”

“Doesn’t it look like the rooster is awake while his doggie friends are all asleep? It could be a pact between them that he guards over them when they sleep and the dogs guard over him when he goes to sleep!”

“Possible.”

“Do you think there’s scope for a story?”

“Why not?”
