THE SEMESTER EXAMINATION
The dhoti- clad, strict examiner looked even more menacing with
his soda bottle glasses.
“No copying!” he declared solemnly.
The exam was in its fifteenth minute when the
examiner went to relieve himself.
A sudden gust of wind from an open window blew a
boy’s answer paper on to the desk behind him.
Thereafter two things happened simultaneously:
The back bench girl rose to return the answer paper to
the boy. Same instant, the examiner- who was paid to be suspicious, came in
from the wash.
“Ha!” He said.
“Sir, it was the wind!”
“Ho ho, the wind eh! Very funny indeed!” the
examiner said, and made as if to snatch away the poor girl’s paper.
At that moment, another gust of wind, stronger than
the previous one, blew his dhoti away.
