A lesson well learnt

It was lunch break after the mathematics period. Six of us went out into the playground with our lunch boxes. We finished our lunch quickly and had 25 minutes of our break left for some play.

As we were getting bored, one of our friends, Deepak had an idea - to wrestle.

Arjun, Ajay and I were watching a race. Suddenly I saw Murthy lying down and Deepak Singh over him. And then the other Deepak jumped over Deepak Singh. By the time I realised that something was serious, Murthy was howling with pain. Other senior students came to the rescue and carried the injured Murthy to the first aid room.

Later, Deepak Singh was the only one punished. I felt that all six of us were equally responsible for the incident and so the other friends and I owned up to the principal.

When my father came to know about this incident, he was upset and told me that the WWF programme on TV is fake and advised me that we should not be carried away by such stunts.

Ever since the incident I have stopped watching the WWF show and now watch only Cartoon Network. This incident was an eye-opener to all of us.
