Ramjed is seven years old and his eyes are deep brown He lives in India the country of the monsoon This means that for a long part of the year strong winds and heavy rain cause floods Every day he gets up at six in the morning to go to school 2
Before leaving he eats a little food and takes the thali that his mother has prepared for him A thali is a selection of different dishes like rice and vegetables that is usually served in small containers on a stainless steel tray In Ramjed’s country people don’t use cutlery Ramjed eats with his right hand never with the left hand Eating with the left hand is considered rude 5
