When she reached her house, her daughter was playing in the garden. She was wearing necklace exactly like bandariya's necklace. For one moment she was shocked but she could not resist As she entered inside the house she commented, "You know bandariya too had a necklace like Binny. Where did you get it from?" Champa replied, "Don't joke. It was yesterday only that bandariya gifted it to Binny saying that this was an advance gift for her birthday coming next month." bandariya’s mother understood everything. She told Champa all about the necklace getting stolen. Actually, Binny had liked bandariya's necklace a lot and so she had stolen it. As langoori was peeping inside the window at that time Binny knew that bandariya would suspect langoori for stealing the necklace. As Binny's mother had seen the necklace at home Binny cooked up the story of bandariya having gifted it to her. When Champa shouted at her, Binny apologised for her mistake and returned it to bandariya's mother.On returning home, when bandariya's mother told her about Binny stealing the necklace, bandariya was sad about having charged langoori of stealing thenecklace. langoori and her mother were going away with their luggage. bandariya’s mother apologised to them. bandariya now promised that she would treat langoori as her friend and share all her toys and show her clothes to her so that she did not feel deprived. bandariya broke the friendship with Champa for stealing.

She has colourful toys, new clothes and lots of books to read and PSP to play. On the other hand langoori monkey stayed in the bandariya's maids quarter with her mother who worked as a maid in the house. Because of poverty langoori could not attend school neither did she possess toys and books. She wore the old clothes of bandariya given to her by bandariya's mother. langoori was always eager to see bandariya's things and would hide and watch bandariya's activities. bandariya would be highly annoyed at this. One day, bandariya was on the swing wearing a new Tommy dress and matching Nike shoes. langoori was peeping her from behind the wall. bandariya happened to see langoori and shouted at her badly.
Next day, bandariya's uncle from the jungle of tokyo came to meet her. He got for her beautiful necklace and earrings. The necklace was very expensive. On wearing it, bandariya felt like a queen. She proudly wore it the whole day. In the evening, her friends "Pinky, Binny and Chinky monkey" came to meet her. bandariya showed her necklace to all of them. Her friends had not seen such a beautiful necklace till now. They could not stop showering praises on it. Suddenly, bandariya's eyes fell on the window.
