As Daddy trims and combs his moustache, Anu gives firm instructions, turns the ends with her fingertips, and jokes about how grand Daddy would look as a soldier. The narrative also compares moustaches of other characters—friends’ fathers and a detective-like dad—ending with Anu’s fascination with her own made-up moustaches and her questions about why she can’t grow one naturally.","Daddy Mo’s Madhuri Purandare  \nMadhuri Purandare  \nAnu likes many things about Daddy. She likes the bright paper lanterns he makes, the crisp onion pakodas he fries, and the cute tortoise he makes out of paper. Besides, he climbs the stairs with a hop, and wrestles with Uncle for fun. When guests come over, he always makes them laugh. Anu likes all these things about Daddy. But do you know what Anu likes most of all? Daddy’s moustache!  \nEvery morning as Daddy shaves, Anu sits by and watches him carefully. Daddy holds his tiny pair of scissors between his two fingers, and with a snip-snip-snip he trims his moustache. Anu says,”Now a little to the left…now a bit to the right…no no, Daddy! Don’t make your moustache small! I won’t talk to you if you do!”  \nWhen Daddy comes out of the shower, Anu takes a little comb and brushes his moustache neatly. She then holds both ends between her fingertips and gives them a twirl! Then Daddy’s moustache looks stiff and proud.”Done, Daddy! Now don’t you mess it up, okay?” she says sternly.  \nAnu always thinks, if Daddy wears a smart tunic and a turban and rides a tall horse, with a sword across his belt, how grand he’ll look! Just like a soldier wearing glasses!  \nActually, Anu likes anyone with a moustache. Like the dad of her friend Tuti, whose real name is Smruti. He has such a fat moustache!  \nHe must need a big fat comb to brush  \nit. Tuti’s dad plays very good tennis. But really, he should be a wrestler. If he wears a pleated turban and carries a giant club on his shoulder, he’ll look just great!  \nSahil’s dad has a pencil-thin moustache. Anu wonders how he manages to trim it so fine. If he wears a tall black hat, a long black overcoat and dark glasses, he’ll look just like the detective on TV, who catches all the thieves!  \nBut Grandpa who lives next door has the best moustache of all! It looks as if a big white cloud has come down from the sky to live under his nose! His mouth is hidden behind the cloud. Anu is anxious about Grandpa... how can he eat with that cloud in the way?  \nAnu wonders why a moustache doesn’t grow under her nose . Every morning she wets her soap, makes a lot of lather and gives herself many different kinds of moustaches.”My moustache is the best,” she says. ”It’s pure white, and so soft! Isn’t it nice?” she asks, happily.  \nBrought to you by  \nLet’s Read is a program of The Asia Foundation that supports early reading skills and habits to develop our next generation of critical thinkers and creative innovators in Asia and the Pacific.  \nTo read more books like this and get further information,  \nvisit: [letsreadasia.org](letsreadasia.org)  \nOriginal Story  \nDaddy Mo’s.
