Dos nenas: Hari y Shivundri. Shivundri mira a Hari con veneración, como los demás. Y con un poco de envidia por su suerte de diosa y belleza triste. Hari mira a Shivundri y ve a una nena como ella, que sueña con trepar al grinko. Luego, sus vidas se confunden. Al fin, negro como la noche, redondo y mudo, llega el escarabajo.
