Rewinding to his childhood, he recalls ignoring distractions for magical books and choosing animals over conventional careers. During his renewed expedition he seeks clues at waterholes, meets a silent Mr. Tiger, and endures Western Ghats rain, termites, and ants. The journey also highlights rain-driven rivers and the need to protect the Ghats as he searches for the cat.","The Cat in the Ghat! Ambika Rao  \nRuchi Shah  \nThis story is about an uncle named Sandy, Who likes his camera so much, he always keeps it handy.  \nLet’s rewind to when Uncle Sandy was a little boy,  \nUnlike his friends, he never dreamt of a fancy toy.  \nLost in books that spoke of magical creatures, Even in class, he never listened to his teachers.  \nAs time passed by, Uncle Sandy became a wildlife photographer,  \nWhile his friends became doctors, engineers and dance choreographers.  \nUncle Sandy didn’t want to work in big offices, He wanted to take pictures of snakes, crocodiles and tortoises.  \nSo, he decided to leave his family and friends behind,  \nAnd took off to the jungles with freedom in mind.  \nOn his first expedition to the Western Ghats, He had his first encounter with a mysterious cat.  \nUncle Sandy has been on its trail ever since, Hoping to click a picture of it, for evidence.  \nSo, he decided to revisit the Western Ghats, Through its spiraling path in search of the cat. The cat in the ghat!  \nThe plan was to speak to animals along the way,  \nTo get clues about this cat whose color he knew was grey.  \nHe began his journey at the foothills of the Ghats,  \nWith the summer sun so hot, Uncle Sandy needed a hat.  \n”Let’s look for waterholes,” he said to himself, He knew that’s where the animals would tread.  \nAnd guess who he got to meet,  \nThe top cat himself, Mr. Tiger to greet.”Oh mighty tiger,” he said,”would you have seen a cat?  \nIt is tall, swift and the color of my hat.”The tiger didn’t have much to say, He roared and looked the other way.  \nPhew! That was close, he thought,  \nJust as he was drenched by giant rain drops. Along with the shower came a swarm of termites,  \nWho were sadly eaten by ants, at first sight.  \nRains in the Western Ghats come down as waterfalls,  \nWaterfalls become rivers and that’s how there’s water for all.  \nSo, if we need water to drink,  \nProtecting the Western Ghats is the link.  \nWhat Uncle Sandy saw next filled him with glee,  \nA family of elephants bathing in a pond, yippee!  \nThey were making the most of the premonsoon showers,  \nSome were kicking grass, others showing off their powers .  \n”Excuse me you all,” said Uncle Sandy, waving his hat,  \n”Would you have seen a big grey cat?”","cbCaifhoriLZpSpv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifhoriLZpSpv","pdf",142966,2,26,"English","en",105,"# Uncle Sandy and His Camera\n## Childhood and Calling\n## Expedition and the Mysterious Grey Cat\n## Waterholes, Tiger, and Western Ghats Rains\n## Elephants, Protection of the Ghats, and the Search","[{\"question\":\"How does the story connect rain and the importance of protecting the Western Ghats?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that rains fall as waterfalls, turn into rivers, and provide water.
