Suryansh studied in eighth grade and was a very sincere student. He used to help all the teachers and all his classmates. He was the apple of his parents’ eye and he used to have a bit more bonding with his maternal grandfather. One day, in the class of Mathematics, the teacher wrote a question on the board whose answer was not known to anyone, not even Suryansh. Just then Suryansh’s mischievous friend Dishan thought of doing a prank, he took out a fake snake from his bag and threw it at the teacher so that everyone would be scared and it would be time for the next class bell. Thinking that he threw a fake snake, the teacher was so frightened that he fell backwards from his chair; he got deeply hurt on his head. Dishan got nervous and immediately ran away from the class, after some time when the doctor came and examined him; he found out that the injury was not very serious. If the injury was a little deeper, the teacher’s memory could have been lost, hearing all this, Dishan was very upset. Suryansh knew that such a fake snake was possessed by Dishan but he did not speak up. He went to Dishan and asked him if he had thrown the snake. Dishan nodded and answered no. Suryansh knew, that Dishan was not speaking the truth due to the fear of being caught. Suryansh asked him again, calming him down, with the condition that he would not tell anyone. Dishan admitted that it was his mischief but he was too afraid to face everyone due to the fear of punishment. When the teacher recovered after a week, he came back to school. All the children were very happy to see him because he was fully recovered. During the class, the teacher didn’t talk about that day. Just before the bell rang, Suryansh told Dishan to let the teacher know the truth. But Dishan kept mum. Suryansh told this whole matter to Dishan’s mother. She told Suryansh that she would definitely devise a way to make Dishan speak the truth.
