About Raju - Strange Ways

4th Standard

He found English lessons in school really boring.(He never realised why;Maybe literature reflected the times & thoughts of a certain place and time...So restricted. Homework was too rigid, it was just reproducing sentences verbatim and he always thought he would finish it just in time. He never did.)

Mrs.Menezes must have been her name. Strict with big eyes.
She was in another class when she realised the amount of backlog which was still to be corrected and Raju was called from the adjoining class.He was walking merrily oblivious of what was in store for him when the English teacher slapped him really hard.

Now my thinker friend who was still recovering from the surprise attack which had turned him 180 degrees...didnt come up with the reflex 'sorry' or ' what happened?'. He was wondering that either ways he turns towards the teacher the angle would be 180 degrees (Whoever said elementary maths can't be applied in practical situations in 4th standard!!).So he decide to complete the other 180 degrees.Thus taking a full 360 degrees turn and to the whole class it appeared like he was imitating Charlie Chaplin in one of his slapstick comedies.

The whole classroom was still roaring with laughter while the teacher was still thinking whether to laugh.One thing she would think 10 times before doing....was slap him again.

As for our Raju, After a few days, he had one more inference ,
Come first in class or recite poetry or be the teacher's pet or do your homework regularly...it might help.But to attain popularity instantly all you have to do is...get slapped.

P.S. - Above rule may be disastrous in other scenarios.
