Watching together, the neighborhood found its reflection in Dora Buji’s adventures. Villagers clapped at the clever lines, elders chuckled at references to local festivals, children mimicked the heroine’s daring leaps.

Why not record things that belonged to them — their festivals, their tea-stall sayings, their stray dogs’ names — and weave them into new tales?
