04 Mar / Fat Gopal by Jacquelin Singh, illustrated by Demi [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]
The ruling Nawab requests the Maharajah to do an impossible task: to measure the earth and to count the stars, the sun’s rays, and the men on the moon. The Majarajah’s servant, Fat Gopal, comes to the rescue and jovially promises the answers in return for huge sums of money to cover his so-called expenses. If you can’t beat ’em, outsmart ’em!
