The old story-teller, Chhenu ki Jhunnu ka Baba, living in Ghungar village, collects stories and fables which his mother has left hidden under rocks. Baba's peculiarity is that is growing younger day-by-day and once he will find all the stories he will be a child.

Its adorable title song tune was reused in the movie Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela for the song "Ram chahe Leela".
