Rohan: "And she said we can’t touch the ladoos till the guests come. Why did she put them right here?"
Maya:shinyround and with ghee. Look at that big cashew on top." "They’re so
Rohan: "Don’t talk about it. My tummy is already doing drum-drum."
Maya: "I feel like picking one up. Just to see how soft it is."
Rohan: "If you touch it, you’ll want to eat it. My brain is saying no, but my mouth is saying yes."
Maya: "That pull is temptation, na? The ladoos are calling, but Amma’s rule is louder."
Rohan: "I don’t like this temptation. It’s making me restless."
Amma: "I can hear you two. The ladoos are not moving, only your hands are."
Maya: "Amma, can you keep them far? The temptation is too close."
Amma: "Or you can step away from it. What will you choose?"
Maya: "I’ll choose to run to the balcony before my mouth wins."
Rohan: "I’m coming too. We’ll wait, and then the ladoos will taste like a prize."
