Meena

Meena focuses on what to do in the event of a flood—illustrating the importance of maintaining unity and helping each other during times of flood.

Meena saves her sister Rani's life when she has diarrhea by giving saline.

Meena's father is worried because the family has run out of money. Meena and her father have to go to the shopkeeper to get a loan of rice. The shopkeeper tries to cheat them by increasing the amount of the debt, but Meena stops him due to her ability to read. Meanwhile, the mother is looking for ways to earn money. The school teacher visits their home and tells the mother that she can work from home. The family buys a cow, as well as a bike so the father can sell the milk in the village. The shopkeeper tells them that if the family cannot repay the debt, then he will take the cow, the calf and Mithu. Meena's father gets a fever so he is unable to sell the milk in the village. Meena and Raju go instead, but their bike crashes, which delays their ability to repay the debt to the shopkeeper. Mithu carries the money back home instead so that the debt is repaid in time.

Meena wishes to go to school, but her parents see no purpose to this because she is a girl. To overcome this problem, Meena enlists the help of her parrot, Mithu, who memorizes the school lesson and relays it to her after class. As a result, Meena learns how to count in twos. She counts her family's chickens and realizes that one is missing. It turns out that a thief has stolen the chicken. The villagers chase the thief and recover the chicken. As a result of this incident, Meena's parents realize the value of education and allow her to attend school along with her brother, Raju.[8]
