Harry Puttar aur Khufia Gufa

Harjeet Sandhu was behind the bars .... because he had committed the blunder of accusing the Hawaldar of the village - Valminder Brar (Vallu) - of his parents' murder. Somehow, he was having the feeling that he was right. Why else would the headmaster Ali Baba mysteriously disappear on the same night on which he was arrested? But then again, he was dumb you see? He was believing everything that Ali Baba told him, when he never knew Ali Baba personally. He was too dumb to attend the school and otherwise he hardly ever went out.

All the same, he wanted to get out ... and that too quick ... at least that is what the heroes in movies think when they are put behind the bars. He had seen many movies and being a good bacha, he thought that it would be cool to think the same.

Since the law and order situation in the village was not very bad, there were very few prisoners in the village prison. His cell also had one prisoner (who arrived a month after Harry) - by the name of some Michael Scofield, whom he (of course, being from a nice family - the Sandhus), did not know personally. This Michael person seemed a little mad and had loads of funny tattoos on his whole body, because of which he was suffering from skin cancer. He kept muttering something about a brother and breaking out of the prison. Our now-a-shade-brighter-Harjeet Sandhu could at least make out that he too, like Harry, wanted to break out of prison, and that too quick.

So Harjeet teamed up with this Michael person and one fine night, when the skies were clear and the dogs were barking, they both broke out of the prison. A stout person, by the name of Lincoln Burrows also escaped with them. Michael said that they were brothers, but Harry was smart enough to make out that he was lying - after all they did not share the same surname you see? So off they went. However, while escaping, the highly sensitive pressure sensors placed at critical locations in the prison (namely the toilet seat) went off (This silly Lincoln person wanted to get relieved before he made a dash). Harry made a run for his life and later on got the news that these brothers were caught and were now back in the jail.

Now he was free and his sole aim in life was to punish his parents' murderer(s). He (of course) thought that Vallu was the man. He just had to come up with a way to punish him. And then there was the problem of him being a convict on the lose and his only source of inspiration - headmaster Ali Baba was also missing.

One night, when he had set up a temporary base in the ganne ke kheth (sugarcane farms) of his neighbor Ronaldhino Wheesy (Ron), he heard some voices and when he tried to locate its source, he found there, lying on a sofa, unharmed and enjoying the company (and services) of Pammi Anderson, was Ali Baba! Thoroughly confused, he was not in a position to say anything, when Ali started to explain .... "Look Harjeet", he said, "it is not what you are thinking ... so stop thinking whatever you are thinking". When Harry stopped thinking whatever he was thinking, Ali continued "Yes I was not abducted on the night that you were put behind the bars. I had to think of a plan to get you out. So I framed that Lincon person for a horrible crime and hoped that you could get a good company in there and that there might be a better chance of your escaping too ... Two is better than one after all!".

Harry was still confused. He said that Ali had told him that Vallu was after his parents' 'Money'. Ali Baba was taken aback on this and Pammi's eyes had a new glitter. But then Ali told him something - about the secret cave where his parents stored all the money they had - the Khufia Gufa. He told Harry (and Pammi) that the cave was full of dangers, like a handful of blood thirsty ants, flying venomous frogs etc etc (he was making things up as he spoke). Taking inspiration from the movies that he watched, he declared that he would go in the cave alone and retrieve whatever was hidden inside. He could not afford to put the lives of the only person he trusted and the most beautiful person in the village in jeopardy. Ali and Pammi were relieved upon hearing this.

So he went to the secret cave, which opened near the residence of Baba 'Bholenath Dum-Dum Wale'. As he entered the cave, he saw a horrible sight - it seemed that it was the village compost pit ... but trusting Ali Baba, he went inside. And soon enough, he crossed the garbage dump. Behind this dump, was the hidden treasure of his parents - a pile of gold and a mirror. He picked up the pile of gold and started adjusting his hair style, looking in the mirror. And then it happened - he saw his parents in the mirror and they were pointing towards something which looked like a portal on the other side of the cave. He crossed the portal and reached some unknown place. Looking down, he found a note, signed by his parents. On it, was written

Do not trust Ali Baba, you dumbo! Do not trust him. I repeat ... Do not trust Ali Baba you dumbo! Do not trust him.

-Your father Jagteshwar Sandhu (James)
-Your mother Leela Sandhu (Lily)

Now Harjeet was confused!
