It was
Monday Morning Swaminathan was reluctant to open his eyes. He was very lazy to awake because in
Saturday and Sunday holidays he slept for many more time, so that holidays lazy
are disturbing on Monday.
He has
only 2 hours to do all his homework because he didn’t do his homework. So he
awake very fast and do all his homework and went to school. His class teacher name was
Mr.
Vedanayanagam.
English
the first period passed off quietly. Second they had arithmetic period and
returned in role of an arithmetic teacher. The teacher’s voice was beginning to
get on his nerves. He felt sleepy.
The teacher called for home
work corrections. Swaminathan left his place and placed his notebook on the
table. While the teacher was scrutinizing the sums, Swaminathan was gazing on
his face.
Which
seems so tame at close quarters .The teachers criticism of Swaminathan was that
his eyes were too near each other, that there was more hair on his chin than one
saw from the bench and that he was very bad looking .
He
felt a terrible pain in the soft flesh above his left elbow his teacher was
pinching him in one hand. The teacher was crossing all the sums .He wrote very
poor at the bottom of the page and flung the notebook on Swaminathan‘s face.
He
gone back to his seat. The next period was history. He looked and listened eagerly. That period
was taken by D. Pillai who had earned a name in his school for kindness and
good humour.
The scripture period was the last period
in the morning. This period was taken by Mr. Ebenezer. He was a Christian. He
taught about Jesus. He told Jesus was the very good God.
He
told Jesus will help all persons. Jesus was not like Lord Krishna. Krishna stole butter from neighbor’s house but Jesus was
not. Jesus not danced with girls like Krishna.
Jesus is the real God.
Swaminathan
got angry because he was a Hindu. He like Lord Krishna only. So Swaminathan
asked a question that Jesus was the real God means why he was crucified? Mr. Ebenezer
told that his stage came to an end. So he was crucified. Swaminathan asked
another question. The question was, why Jesus ate flesh like meat, fish etc…The teacher beat swaminathan and
said don’t ask like these questions.
