       Chuppuni sat in the verandha   and started singing “Kraaaaaa”. His father  who  was reading his news paper  got a jolt.He told  him “Chuppuni  , this is not the place to practice  .Go to the kitchen and do it

     Obediently   Chuppuni   went to the kitchen and start singing “Gra, Ba, Do  , ho”  His poor mather  was preparing sambhar  and his voice jolted her   and the sambar pot fell dsown. She said , “Hey Chupppuni  is this    the proper place to practice  .Your sister  is playing with her  baby in bed room.Go and sing there.
 
     Chuppuni obediently went there and started  singing ‘gada buda, Thada  , gara..” and the baby started  crying in a very loud voice.”Subbuni’s sister  shouted at him and told, “Go to to the cattle  shed  and practice”

  Chuppuni cursing his fate went to their cattle shed  and started singing, Oh Gara , Oh BURRa 
The cow got startled   and kicked him.Subbuni  felt very bad    and he  went and sat below  a tamarind tree   and started singing “Oh my gadabada Appa, Oh mu brum brum Amma.. “  Unfortunately a ghost was living ion the top of the tree. This music  jolted  him badly
