Amal Monologue from The Post Office

From The Post Office by Rabindranath Tagore

Wouldn't that be jolly? Then I should go farther! I watched that man slowly walking on with his pair of worn out shoes. And when he got to where the water flows under the fig tree, he stopped and washed his feet in the stream. Then he took out from his bundle some gram-flour, moistened it with water and began to eat. Then he tied up his bundle and shouldered it again; tucked up his cloth above his knees and crossed the stream. I've asked Auntie to let me go up to the stream, and eat my gram-flour just like him. (MADHAV: And what did your Auntie say to that?) Auntie said, "Get well and then I'll take you over there." Please, Uncle, when shall I get well? (MADHAV: It won't be long, dear.) Really, but then I shall go right away the moment I'm well again.
