The story has been picked up from a folk tale where Chandu goes out of the house to deliver a message and on the way he meets different people. Similarly, in the play there is a central character named Chandu. Chandu is a little kid who has been assigned to deliver the dreams of every living creature on earth.

But, who assigns him this job? It is none other than the old lady who spins dreams on the moon. To her came a dream of a tiger. The tiger was born without a tail and every night he dreams of a yellow tail. Chandu here is the moon, who is assigned to deliver the dream of the tiger. On the way to earth, Chandu crosses different areas, such as the mulky way galaxy, skies and the oceans.

On his way to jungle, Chandu discovers different issues and problems faced by God’s creations as humans are being really unkind to them. The issues related to children like education and child labour were also highlighted in the play brilliantly.
