Dancing to the Flute Paul English

Kalu climbed high into a tree seeking the perfect leaf to roll into a pipe...softening one end in his mouth, he pressed down with his teeth to flatten the tube and blew. The sound, sweet and clear, rode the wind, snaking through the tree and down into the village.

Set in the small Indian town of Hastinapore, we meet Kalu: just a young boy, without any family, living on the streets.

As he plays his music, he doesn't realise there is a man resting against the trunk listening.

And so Kalu and the healer meet, and Kalu's life is changed forever.
