Dadi tells the children that she knows many stories from her grandmother, books, and other people. She asks the children what they want to be when they grow up. Raghu wants to be an environment scientist, Meenu is unsure but maybe wants to be a computer person like her dad, Anand wants to be an astronaut, and Krishna wants to be a fashion designer. Dadi is glad they have thought about their future goals and emphasizes the importance of having aims in life and helping others. Doctor! Doctor! By Sudha Moorthy The first day, the children asked, Dadi, how do you know so many stories? Dadi smiled and answered, My grandmother told me many stories. Some I read in books. A few I learnt from youngsters like you. And the rest from your Dada. Then Dadi paused and said, I see all of you have grown a lot since the last time I saw you. So before I start telling any stories, I want to know what each of you wants to be when you grow up. Raghu, who was 11 years old and the oldest of all, said immediately, I want to be an environment scientist. Meenu, who was 9, said, I have not decided. Maybe a computer person like my dad. Anand, who was 10, said, I want to be an astronaut. And his twin sister Krishna firmly said, I want to become a fashion designer. Dadi smiled. I am glad all of you have thought about this. We should always have some aim in life which we must try to achieve while being of help to others.
