37. The Teacher
and the Boy
“Who did it.” a teacher
was asking the class again and again. But she couldn't get the answer. The
teacher again asked, “Who did it?” Covering some steps again she got nothing.
After sometime the head
boy, collecting courage raised his hand and confessed his fault. Hesitatingly
he said, “Yes ma’m; I have broken the glass but not deliberately, and I want to
atone for my fault. Please pardon me.”
By hearing this the
teacher didn't say anything. She went to the library and bought a book, and
gave to the boy by saying, “I am giving you this book as reward not for
breaking the glass but for accepting your fault. And I am glad to see that my
labour of nurturing good habits in you has worked.”
