![]() ![]() The lama wants to speak to the curator of the Wonder House because he has heard that the curator is a wise man. This man is a lama, a Tibetan Buddhist from the North. So one day Kim is playing in front of the Lahore Museum (which everyone in the book calls the Wonder House) and he spots someone wearing clothes of a style he's never seen before. The woman who takes care of Kim doesn't understand what the father is talking about, but she tells Kim that his father left him that prophecy. And two men will appear first to prepare the way for the arrival of this Red Bull. ![]() ![]() Kim's prophecy comes down from his now- deceased father: apparently, Kim's luck will change when a Red Bull on a green field will arrive with a colonel on horseback and with nine hundred devils. He occasionally works for Mahbub Ali, an horse trader who is one of the native operatives of the British secret service. Kim spends his time in the city of Lahore running around, scrounging food, and generally leading a carefree and mischief-heavy life. Kimball O'Hara, Kim for short, is the orphaned son of an Irish soldier and a poor Irish mother who have both died in poverty. Kipling, Kim – CHAPTERS SUMMARY CHAPTER 1 1890s, British India.
