Seed upon seed, seed upon seed, dance when you see the clouds, pomegranite!
You can listen to this song as your finger bobs along the words: http://www.musicindiaonline.com/mailsong/index.cgi/3dca853a4eab0000
- Would it be possible to translate this please?
- Believe me, it makes more sense in Hindi. But it is on MonkeyTongs' list of things to do. Below are the bits I've managed to decipher from watching the scene again.
- Could you please make a drawing of the pomegranite, chilli, corn and peacock, to illustrate this section? And any pictures of Monsieur R. Kapoor would be appreciated too. -- r

Since the teacher got it wrong, the naughty man gives all the children the day off school, they run away. And the teacher is angry but falls in love with the man anyway. Or maybe she had already fallen in love with him but didn't know it yet. He's definitely in love with her, at least. Why else would he be bothering her while she's trying to teach?
