Out! Out!
It was a holiday. Jeet and Babli were playing. They skipped the rope. They played hide and seek. Then they decided to play bat and ball. Jeet got ready to throw the ball. Jeet threw the ball. Babli hit it. The ball went into Mohit's garden. But Mohit's house was locked. They could not find the ball. So the game stopped. Babli knew how to make a ball. They got a few rags, some paper and some wool. Babli also brought a piece of string. She rolled the rags, paper and wool into a ball and tied it with the string. They liked the new ball. The game started again. This time Babli picked the ball and Jeet picked the bat. Babli threw the ball. Jeet hit it hard. The ball opened up and scattered in the air! Babli jumped and caught a piece of rag. She shouted, “OUT! OUT!”
