Sarla’s Presence of Mind
Sarla was alone at home. Suddenly the phone rang. She hesitated for a moment but then picked up the receiver. Though he said ‘Hello’, there was no response from the other side. She repeated
‘Hello’ ‘Hello’… but still no one replied from the other end. The phone rang again but this time somebody asked if her father was at home. When sarla asked who was calling, the caller refused
to tell about her and kept on asking his parents’ whereabouts. When Sarla refused to answer, the line was disconnected.
After some time, the doorbell rang. As Sarla peeped through the keyhole, she found a tall man with a beard, outside the door. Sarla got scared and quickly ran towards the phone and called up
her father’s friend who lived in their colony and told him about the incident. Her uncle asked her not to worry as he would reach soon. She quickly collected some other men from the neighborhood, and with her pet dog, reached Sarla’s home. The tall man was looking for a way
to get into the house when the dog of Sarla’s uncle held his leg with its teeth the man panicked and tried to run away but was overpowered by all the men of the colony. Soon, the police reached Sarla’s home and her parents also returned and thanked the neighbour
. Everyone praised Sarla’s presence of mind which saved her life.
