Thanks to all those who sent me messages of congratulating Meru, my grandson.  His one Sanskrit sentence as a crocodile in the drama, as he told me on phone, was: मम चर्मण: बहुद्रव्याणि भवन्ति.  Different children had roles of different animals, each claiming to be superior, and objecting to the claims of other animals.  In the few seconds of video I have seen, after the crocodile says the above sentence, another character comes forward and says: किन्तु भवान् गिरति.  Clearly, the children had a lot of fun, and Meru was excited after his performance, saying "I did a great job!"

Here is the next generation of Sanskrit-lovers in my family.  My grandson, Meru (7 years old), is acting today as a Sanskrit-speaking crocodile in a drama organized by the Palo Alto (California) branch of Samskrita Bharati.  I hopes he keeps up his interest.  He can have my Sanskrit library.
