After searching everywhere, Aaloo finally finds Chilly at home, and he asks Aaloo, "Why are you supporting Koko?" Aaloo reminds Chilly of his singing days during his childhood, a time when she used to enjoy singing a lot. What is Aaloo trying to say? Chilly will tell us what happened next.

Aaloo said everything in one breath and I was listening carefully, “In the heat of the competition, you forgot something very important – how much you love to sing! Do you know why you lost? It wasn’t because of me or Koko. You lost because you forgot the joy of     singing. All you could think about was, ‘How can I defeat Koko? How can I win?’ While going on about Koko again and again,  you were no longer singing for the love of it – you were singing only to beat Koko.”
“I knew you were feeling upset and burning inside. That is why I arranged a party for you. I wanted to tell you a secret that day, but you left before I could say anything at all.”

“Secret? What secret?” How come Aaloo knew a secret that I didn’t? I was usually the first to know about all the secrets in the jungle. How did I not know about this one?

“Do you remember a few years ago when Taco the Horse went to the city to take part in a race? He watched lots of racecourse videos on ViewTube and became determined to join one himself,” said Aaloo. I looked at him a bit puzzled. Aaloo continued, “You know, a racecourse is a place where horses run to see who’s the fastest.”

I poked Aaloo with my beak and said, “How is this a secret? Everyone in the jungle knows about this. Taco lost the race and came back home. After that, he used to run around in circles near the edge of the jungle. Parsley told me that Taco would start running the moment he saw anyone nearby. That’s no secret.Aaloo shook his head and said, “No, Chilly, except for me, no one knows the real secret. Let me tell you. When Taco went to the city, he joined the racecourse and began practicing really hard. During his training, he met Browny, another horse, and they became best friends. They stayed together all the time and would often joke with each other. ‘Just watch, it will be me that wins the race!’ they would say to each other."“The day of the big race finally arrived. Both Browny and Taco didn’t sleep at all the night before. Taco couldn’t wait to take part in his first race, while Browny was determined to win. In the morning, they got ready and trotted to the racecourse. Do you know what happened next?”

I already knew, but I still asked, pretending I didn’t know, “What happened then?”

Aaloo sighed and said, “Browny won and Taco lost.”

I replied, “Oh, Aaloo, everyone knows that. What’s the secret in that?”

Aaloo looked down sadly and whispered, “Chilly, Taco didn’t just lose the race that day – he also lost his best friend!”
