(1) “We will be publishing a handwritten magazine to be displayed in the school library”, Satish a student of Class VI and convenor of the literary club, told his principal. Somi, Ketki and Manjul were also with him. “We have come with a problem, sir.” If you want some articles then take some good essays from your exercise books,” the principal said, “but do not consult your class teachers. They are all busy these days, you do it on your own. Let me see how fine you kids are in your choice.” “No sir, for that Sushma and Manjul have done some job. They have already picked up a few good pieces.” This time, it was Somi. “Then what is your problem?” “Who will write the magazine, sir?” asked the boys. “That I will see and let you know,” said the principal. (2) After sometime the principal was talking to Manekar. “But sir, my mother cannot write. At least I have not seen her writing. Even if it is a letter, she asks my sister.” This little boy in Class IV was suspicious about his mother’s caliber But the principal, Mr Pittal, like so many others, had no second opinion about the calligraphic skill of Madhavi. She was his old classmate. The principal laughed, “Do not worry my child, you tell her that I have requested for this favour.” (3) The next day Mr Pittal packed some special papers, gold, red, blue and black inks, nibs of different shapes and thicknesses, pens, blotters etand gave it to Manekar. He directed him to hand over the packet to his mother, Madhavi. “How can I give it to my mother? he thought. “She has never written anything except bazar and dhobi account.
And here the fellow has given her to write the full magazine. All my friends will laugh at her, when he will display the magazine. No, I won’t give it to her. I will ask Vapi Didi to help me or should I throw this packet and say that I have lost it somewhere.” But at the last the principal had left this poor chap with no other choice than to obey him. A week later when the magazine was on display in the school library, Manekar found everyone looking over it with gasps of delight at its beauty.
