He ruffles his hair to make it look like a beggar's dirty and covered him with dust. His own mother would not have known. Shortly afterwards came
to a great season and on Fri on the platform to the police officer who must deliver the statement. The beggar false outrage and rebuked the officer in English, he replied that lot and insult in their language, but introducing among them the secret words. The officer, but pretended not to understand the native language understood perfectly. Looking out the secret words that it was an agent. Pretended, for stop and drove to the post, where he received the report.
Finally, Kim became friends with another service member, a pretty Indian culture, Badu, as they are called in India, and it was very useful, because he helped to arrest two officers who were spying.
