Texto del Guión Gráfico
- Chuskit woke up early that morning. it was a very special day and she was too excited to sleep till late. She eagerly looked out of the window next to her bed. It was spring time in Ladakh ad the apricot trees were in full bloom.
- Wow such a beautiful day!
- Ama-ley was awake too. Chuskit could hear her in the kitchen making gur-gur tea.
- At first, Chuskit did not realise that she was in any way different from Stobdan, her younger brother, or her cousins. But soon there were many things she could not do as easily as they could “That does not matter,” her Aba-ley would tell her whenever she felt sad. “You can stitch better than any of them. And you draw very well.” Aba-ley often brought her some colour pencils from Leh.
- This was a day Chuskit was going to remember for a long time. Can you guess why? No, it was not Losar. That was many months away. Nor it was any other day in her village, lie the gonpa festival, or a wedding day. It was going to be Chuskit's first day at school. At nine years, she had waited a long, long time for this.
- The school The school was not very far away from her home. To get there, you had to walk up to the main road. Just before the prayer wheel, you took the path to the left of the road that ran along a narrow stream. Near the poplar trees you crossed the stream by jumping over the big rocks.Once you got to the other side, a short walk up a slope took you to the school. All the children of Skitpo Yul, Chuskit's village, walked to school everyday and with ease. But not little Chuskit. She could not walk.
- Chuskit was born with legs that did not work like everyone else’s. Her father had taken her to the village amchi and then to the doctors in Leh. But no amount of medicine had helped her walk.
