Episode 1 : " A Hero "
Swami is a 9 year old boy living in Malgudi with his parents and grandmother. His father reads a newspaper article about the bravery shown by an 8 year old boy and feels that Swami should do something similar. Swami has the habit of sleeping with his grandmother after listening to a story told by her. This irritates his father. Swami's father then challenges or rather forces him to sleep in his office. When Swami tells his friends of the ordeal his friends warn him about a ghost living near the office. When Swami sleeps in his father's office he has nightmares about the ghost and wakes up with a start. At the same time Swami spots an intruder breaking into the office. Mistaking him for the ghost Swami grabs the intruder's leg and yells for help. The members of the house rush inside the office and catch the intruder. The police tell Swami that the intruder was a thief wanted by the police and congratulate him. The incident is published in the Malgudi Times.
