It was a day before Dashain tika when we all decided to visit ‘Jhimruk Khola’(a river between Pyuthan and Arghakhanchi) . Having made the journey many times before, we were all prepared for the long ride to Jhimruk. As we went down a long and winding road we told each other made up stories about tiger attacks that had frightened my youngest relatives and some old ones too.
