Grandpa reads the letter aloud, and Ritu carefully prepares the message by placing the postcard and a pencil into her small bag. At the post office, she feels important and grown-up, yet slightly nervous about the dog Bageera. The story closes with Ritu guessing and writing the destination name and adding a playful note.","Ritu's Letter Gets Longer!  \nStory by Mala Kumar  \nIllustrations by Henu  \nEnglish Story Book  \nRitu's Letter Gets Longer!  \nStory by Mala Kumar Illustrations by Henu  \nPratham Books  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2010, Pratham Books  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

Author: Mala Kumar  \nIllustrator: Henu  \nGrandpa was writing a letter. Ritu stood beside him, leaning on the arm of the old chair.  \n“Grandpa, have you asked Aunty to send Mani to our home for the holidays?”  \n“Of course, dear Ritu, I have written to your Aunty. Look here, let me read out the letter-Dear Pooja, Hope you are fine. Mani must be having holidays now. Ritu is very eager to see him. Do send him here to Tumkur.”  \nRitu jumped up and down. And since she could not stop herself, she ran around the room once and hugged Grandpa.“Would you like to post this letter yourself?” asked Grandpa.  \nRitu’s eyes opened wide.“All by myself? Oh, may I?”  \n“Yes, little Ritu. See, I have written the address. Take it to the Post Office. Give the postcard to Ramesh Uncle. You do know that big uncle with the big, handle-bar moustaches, don’t you?”  \n“Yes Grandpa. He is the uncle who taught Mani how to ride the cycle last summer. Will he take the letter to Aunty Pooja?” asked Ritu.“No, dear. But the letter will reach your aunty, don’t worry.”  \nRitu picked up her little pink bag. She put the postcard inside. She put a pencil inside too. She felt very important. Ritu felt very grown-up. And just a wee bit scared: what if Bageera the dog chased her? But Ritu was very eager to post the letter. So she left for the post office that was just four buildings away!  \nAfter taking a few steps, Ritu stopped and took out the letter. She could not read Grandpa’s handwriting very well. She tried to remember what Grandpa had read. Then, after the word that she thought was ‘Tumkur’ Ritu wrote, ‘PLEECE.’ Happy with her work, Ritu walked on.","cbCaikM5mooA21Bz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikM5mooA21Bz","pdf",4708716,22,"English","en",105,"# Ritu helps send the letter\n## Grandpa reads and Ritu prepares it\n## Ritu delivers the postcard","[{\"question\":\"Why does Ritu want to send a letter?\",\"answer\":\"Ritu wants to ask her aunt to send Mani to their home for the holidays.
