MY SISTER'S BIBLE

MY SISTER’S BIBLE

These are what my sister’s Bible has:
a ration- book come loose,
a loan application form,
a card from the cut-throat money-lender,
the notices of feasts
in the church and the temple,
a photograph of my brother’s child,
a paper that says how to knit a babycap,
a hundred- rupee note,
an S. S. L. C. Book.
These are what my sister’s Bible doesn’t have:
preface,
the Old Testament and the New,
maps,
