short story on i started my friend in utter shock and astonishment
Answers
It was two days before Diwali that I had gone to the nearby shopping complex for some shopping. I was missing my friend Susy very badly as we used to do the shopping together every time this year. This time she was not around as her father had got a transfer to Chennai and she had relocated. Before I stepped out for shopping, I called her and spoke to her. She said she was also going for shopping the same day.
As I was shopping in a particular store for a new dress, I suddenly heard a very familiar voice telling the salesman to show me a particular outfit that would suit me. Surprised, I turned around to see Susy smiling at me. I stared at my friend in utter shock and astonishment. She started laughing and told me that she had reached that morning. She had not told me this because she wanted to surprise me by arriving at the same shop that I went to.
i started my friend in utter shock and astonishment that
my friend who had always been very good in
studies failed in the final examinations. I found out that he had some problems
at home and did not get time to concentrate on his studies. His father had been
ill and there was not enough money to look after the household expenses. So he
had taken up some work as an errand boy.
He was very unhappy and had
lost interest in studies. I went to his house and talked to him. I told him the
story of Mahatma Gandhi. He lived an exemplary life. He never spoke untruth. He
used to say that more things are wrought by prayer than man can think of. He
had firm faith in goodness and God.
I told him about the way
he worked patiently and overcame all the obstacles. Even though many times it
seemed that gaining independence was an impossible task he did not give up his
faith and patience. And one day his hard work and patience bore fruit and India
became independent.
Similarly we should not
give up hope and be patient. Surely one day the dark clouds of despair will
disperse and we will be happy.
After this my friend
became hopeful and once again started taking interest in studies. His patience
and hard work were fruitful when in the next examination he stood first .
