I never saw this sight myself, but it has been described to me several times, by different people, Purobi or Tutu or both amongst them:
Brother and sister are studying at the Dunlop English Medium School. School used to give over at about 1230 hours, and all the kids were naturally famished and tired and often cranky. Mini is a year and eight months younger than Bozo, so there's not that much of a difference in their sizes.
The sight described to me is like a photograph in my mind -
They're returning home from school. Bozo has his school bag AND Mini's slung about his shoulders, but on his chest. Mini is riding piggy-back!
If that's not cute enough, Mini on several occasions had this stick in her hand, pretending to be riding a horse. Cute, because I've never heard it told that she USED it!

:) yes, I remember this... it's probably one of the earliest memories I have.
