There was a boy who was very naughty. He used to tease everyone around him. But fortunately or unfortunately he had a hell lot of friends around him. He always used to fight with teachers, his other friends but never once did he fight with a girl. Truth is he was afraid to approach a girl. I'm talking about a boy who is studying in 7th grade. And one day something happened to him which would turn his life upside down! One fine Thursday, he and one of his friend jumped out of the school compound! Whats the reason? Well they came back to school after about half an hour and when asked by the security guard about their whereabouts they said that they had been pulled out of the school campus by 2 strong robbers, who had covered their faces with a handkerchief' and that they had luckily escaped from their hands and ran into a nearby house and then an old man in that house escorted them to the school. After hearing their story the security guard was flooded with fear. He rushed to the headmistress's office with the 2 boys and said the story to her. She almost went pale and inquired whether the boys were all right. They said they were fine. And this news spread in the school like a wildfire, all the teachers came forward and asked the boys what happened, they sticked on to the same story. And at last their Drill sir put forward a suggestion, he asked the teachers to split the boys into 2 different rooms and then ask about the incident. It seemed like a good idea. So they were taken to different rooms and were questioned. Holy crap! They had spotted the knot. And wen they were taken to the principals office the smarter among the 2 cooked up another story, a bit more realistic one. He said that they had seen a light bulb lying on the adjoined field and thought of taking it and breaking it because they had learned that breaking bulbs makes a pretty good sound. Trust me the teachers believed the story and they let them go. But the 2nd guy took up the courage and told their real motive. And hear goes the real reason why the jumped out of the school. He said " Me and my friend read a lot about the war against Pakistan going on in J&K and that we thought of somehow going up to Delhi and join the army so that we can also fight for the nation. So we planned to jump out of the school and go to the railway station and find a goods compartment which goes to Delhi and then from there somehow we could reach J&K because they are pretty close to each other. As a precautionary measure we had made a map and we also took 23.50 bucks with us. And in case if we were caught we would tell the story about the robbers and escape from the teachers. After a brief discussion we jumped from the school. When we reached the other side both of us got tensed then and there we thought of telling the robbers story and we ended up here". On checking they found the map neatly folded and kept inside the shoe. It was not the kind of map u think. They had made their own map. Almost half of the map was covered by the school premises and the later half contained a small line to railway station and then a straight line to Delhi. The principal had then a smal meeting with the staff and asked the boys to wait outside the room for their decision.
