The Story.
Khawar and Jamil
were very weak students of class nine. Khawar copied every day during the
annual examination, and obtained very high marks in all the papers. On the
other hand, Jamil failed in all the subjects because he did not believe in
copying. His promotion to class ten was out of question.
Kawar could not pull
on with the class. The Headmaster sent for his old class-teacher and asked him
about Khawar. He said that he was at the tail of the class. “Then how did he
succeed?” said the Headmaster. “He might have copied,” remarked the
class-teacher. The answer-books were checked and the truth soon came to light. He
was punished for copying and was demoted to class nine. Khawar could not see
eye to eye with everybody and decided never to copy in future.
