Dear Diary
Today was the most terrible day of my life. I didn’t want to go to school and made an excuse that I had a headache. My mother allowed me to stay back home but my father didn’t listen to me and was keen on sending me to school even I was late. I told him that my teacher Samuel punished the late comers badly and gave a false account of his violence in school. My father became excited and wrote a complaint letter against Samuel and told me to give it to the headmaster of the school. On my way to school, I was confused as what I told about Samuel was real and how much of it was imagined. I reached school with a heavy heart. I decided to give the letter to the headmaster in the afternoon so that Samuel might do something that would justify the letter. I entered his class and he was much more friendly than usual. I tried to make him angry and beat me badly. I was already late to the class and told him that I had not done my homework. I behaved strangely to provoke him to beat me and I was successful. Samuel caned me and called me an idiot. I was very happy as I was able to justify the content of the letter. As soon as the bell rang, I ran to the headmaster’s office but was sad to know that he had gone on an afternoon off and wouldn’t be in the school for a week. I was told by the peon to handover the letter to the assistant headmaster, Samuel. But I didn’t as the letter contained complaint against him only. I went back home. My father scolded me for not delivering the letter. He called me a liar and a coward. I have learnt a lesson that I will never tell a lie in my life.
