Kulwant Miss and her Trophy

EDUCATION

A school story

Kulwant Miss studied in a government school. She won first place in a cycling contest and received a trophy. She married, moved to Chittaranjan and joined the St. Joseph’s and Mary’s Convent School.

Kulwant Miss displayed the trophy in the staff room of the convent school where she started to teach Mathematics. As time wore on, her cycling trophy started to gather dust.

A traffic safety skit had gone well, and all ten students had received shiny trophies from the municipal road safety department.

Soumya had been treated very unfairly. She had sweltered under the Chittaranjan sun to paint the zebra crossing for the play.

She was the eleventh member of the skit team, but she wasn’t in the play.

The municipal officer judging the skit had no idea that an Art club student had spent two hours in the sun, like a laborer, to make the zebra crossing look so good.

They are difficult to paint, with all those exactly equal widths, straight lines, and that the black shouldn’t run on to the white.

The municipal officer awarded trophies only to the kids in the skit.
