In the village of Sultanpur lived a boy called Abdullah. He was 12 years old. He had curly hair and an engaging smile. He was very helpful around the house and was always ready to lend a helping hand to his neighbors. He would attend to their deliveries, buy the groceries they needed, look after their shop and do a lot of other odd jobs. Everyone paid him something for his help.
At first Abdullah did not know what to do with all the pocket money he received. Then he started spending it on sweets and food. However, once his stomach was full, he had to distract himself with something else. So he started buying toys. Initially, he only bought rattles and snare-drums to play with. Then his interest grew to bigger and bigger toys. He slowly started a collection. He had half an army of toy soldiers, toy elephants, horses and chariots. He even had names for each one of them.
