Yet Ram was pretty sure that he did not want to keep him anymore. Joey reminded him too much of his grandmother. Every time his grandmother was angry with someone she would call them “silly old fool”. Joey learnt this and repeated it even months after she died. But now Ram could no longer laugh when Joey did that. Instead, each time Joey called it aloud, he found his eyes filling with tears. That‛s how Joey came to be with Mala. Mala loved Joey very much. She never got bored listening to him. He was even better than a parrot. He could repeat many words in English and some words in Hindi and he imitated a few funny sounds! What Mala loved best was how he imitated Ram‛s loud laugh. But there was a problem. When visitors came Joey called out loudly ‘silly old fool‛. Poor Amma had to explain to everyone that they did not teach him to say that and the worst part was that Joey would cock his head to one side and laugh loudly while Amma said that!
