Panjir and the Bike with Golden Handlebars

Publishing 22 May 2025

“I would like to have a friend,” said Panjir. “You can’t,” said his father. “Friends smell like buffalo milk!”

Panjir is about to start school. One day he will be King of the whole of Ulibar and get everything he wants, but
all he really wants right now is to make friends. School seems like a good place to start. To get to school Panjir is given a bike with golden handlebars. The problem is, he has no idea how to ride it and, because he is not allowed any friends, he has no-one to teach him.
