Synopsis
'Milk Rice', is a collection of short stories based on Sri Lankan children, and the author's own story, 'The Monkey Man' was a tribute to a kind-hearted, little girl who tries to rescue a little monkey from a terrible plight. Her story captured the children's interest, given that they too had encountered the man with the monkey - performing on the streets or as some of them said "even in our own gardens for money." The poignant tale is thought-provoking and questions this cheap but popular entertainment option that borders on animal cruelty, and a little girl's attempts to intervene and change the fate of this little creature. Their story drew strong reactions and queries from the audience. Vital ammunition for animal lovers, for sure! The reading was followed by an interactive session on story writing, and how to build a 'character' or 'characters' for a story. Kids were asked to think about a person or animal that evoked a certain memory, and build a new character with attributes/qualities that they admired or disliked!
