Too Many Bananas

Written by Rohini Nilekani; Illustrated by Angie & Upesh; Published by: Pratham Books Sringeri Srinivas used to grow bananas on his farm, but nobody wanted to buy his sweet ripe bananas. His friends, wife, traders, and even the cows denied eating any. They all would say, “No, Thank you. The bananas are very sweet but we have had too many. We cannot eat anymore.” Sringeri still had a huge pile of bananas left so he decided to seek help from the Farmer's Center in Doddooru. When he returned, he looked very happy and went back to growing more bananas again. But this time, he did not bother to offer bananas to anyone in his village. Then came a day when a member of the village was in need of 108 bananas for a sacred pooja and he rushed to Srinivas for help. Srinivas assured to help him out and brought 27 packets wrapped in banana leaves and offered it to the priest. He then explained that each packet contains 4 bananas which made 27 packets to a total of 108 bananas. This way everyone was happy with Sringeri's new venture.
