William and the friend Jason bring their bicycles on the attic, shrink themselves, and embark on a journey. They meet Sir Simon because he is getting ready to leave for the tournament, and so they stop at his castle. They spend more time a boy plus a girl with the castle and together. The girl tells them of an omen her grandmother, Calendar, kept repeating before she died. Sir Simon sent Calendar away for the convent as he thought she was crazy and he does not believe the omen. Few accept it but Calendar's granddaughter does. Jason and William believe it too. After completing the story, the married women wait for the moon to come and so that they can open their fast. The fast is really a tough one and the women keeping it for the first time, needs to be motivated by their husbands, so that they can fast for the whole day. The husband pleases his wife with special gifts, which makes her day special and brings smiles on her face. After the moonrise, the bride performs a prayer, with karwa thali, and water and then prays for the successful closure of her fast. Then she is fed water and sweets by her husband, by which the bride breaks her fast and eats a lavish dinner. These days, many unmarried girls, also fast for their, would be husbands and pray for their longer lives. Karwa chauth is a very special occasion in the life of every Indian married woman. Wedding bond in itself is the starting to a new life, which changes the whole definition of the life of bride and groom. Marriage gives new meanings to life of the bride and groom and gives them a reason to cherish every moment with their loved one. Fasting whole day, without water and food is not at all easy, but Indian women do this for the long and happy life of their husbands. This is a tradition, which has been followed by the Indian women from ages and every year they fast for the prosperity of their husbands. Though, this may seem very vague, but Indians have very firm belief in this practise and they do this with full dedication. A salute should be given to the Indian women, who celebrate this festival with such conviction and do not even drink a sip of water for the whole day. With this in view they authorized the Sikh Army to cross the Sutlej in the headlong confrontation with all the English. Ranjit had signed a treaty with all the British that forbade him to cross the Sutlej River, but it was broken. The English were however getting ready for that conflict and they also had spies inside Lahore Durbar, with the Prime Minister, the grandfather of the present Kashmir ruler( Now deposed) Karan Singh being in league with them and plotting the defeat from the Sikh Army. This service is at return for him being made the Maharajah of Jammu and Kashmir.
