Unlucky Thirteen It was the start of the Holiday and Velu and Mohan were walking home. They always walked home from school together.

They talked about many things. They chatted about cricket. They talked and talked. In fact, they talked so much, even in class, that their teacher often told them to be quiet.

Today they were debating the subject of Mohan’s pet dog, who had a strange name.

‘Who gave it its name?’ asked Velu.

‘My parents’, replied Mohan.

‘It comes into our house every day, which is very odd’, said Velu. It makes a big mess.

‘Yes’, said Mohan. ‘It’s a clever dog and very sly.’

‘Is that why they named it cheater?’ asked Velu.

‘Hahaha!’ cried Mohan. ‘It’s called CHEETAH, not CHEATER! My parents named it cheetah because cheetahs are fast.

‘Oh!’ said Velu.

Soon they arrived at a tall fence. They heard voices shouting, ‘Thirteen! Thirteen!

Thirteen!’

‘Why are they shouting that number in particular? asked Mohan softly.

‘My brother told me that thirteen is an unlucky number’, whispered Velu.

‘Let’s investigate what it’s all about’, said Mohan. ‘Climb on my back and peek over the wall.’ Velu popped his head over the top. Then there was a WHOOSH and he was drenched in coloured water.

Velu tumbled to the ground.

From behind the wall they could hear shouting: ‘Fourteen! Fourteen! Fourteen!’
