Young monks Thupten Choling Monastery, Solukhumbu

“He is the youngest in our group and he gets too much attention. So he has become naughty. Yesterday, we were playing hide and seek and he decided to go to the dining room and have noodles instead. We looked for him everywhere in the monastery. After a while, we were afraid. The head lama was going to ask for his whereabouts during lunch. We even looked for him under the prayer wheels and the statues. When we could not find him, we went to the dining room and there he was. He started laughing when he saw us in despair. We all ran to him and started tickling him. And we all started laughing too.”
