The story primarily follows the adventures of two boys, Chola and Mahala, as they navigate their daily lives in India, interacting with their family and friends while exploring their rich surroundings. The opening of the novel introduces Chola, who wakes up early with excitement to see new goats brought by a visiting porter. As Chola interacts with his cousin Mahala, the narrative delves into their playful morning routine, characterized by joyful banter and customs such as bathing, a significant part of their religion. We also meet Chola's pet monkey, Jam, who adds mischievous fun to their day.
