Have you heard of the Telephone Game? In this game, one person whispers something into another’s ear. The second person then repeats the words to the third person. The third passes on the message to the fourth. And the chain continues. By the time the message comes to the last person, it sounds nothing like the original message! This is pretty much what happens in today’s story, called The Rumor, written by Anushka Ravishankar and published by Karadi Tales, and it has vibrant illustrations by Kanyika Kini.
