Illustrated by
Catherine Stock.
A man in India begins his first day as a sanyasin, or holy man, walking from town to town, praying, and begging for rice. Three others--a traffic cop, a rice farmer, and a plumber--are also experiencing their first day on the job and unwittingly collaborate to fill the sanyasin's bowl with rice. The dialogue and internal monologues are stilted, but the premise and suitably cramped watercolor illustrations of modern India succeed.
