Panic in the forest
It was around 1 a.m. Everyone except the head boy was snoring away in the river-side camp they had built during there stay in the forest area. The head boy, Arun, was the kind of person who enjoyed the solitude. He was lost in the sight of the moonlight glimmer of the calm river. However, suddenly the sight of something floating towards him broke his reverie. It could be a log but what if it were a dangerous animal lurking silently towards its prey.
He decided to silently observe first before panicking. He had already made up an evacuation plan for the rest of the students in his mind and was ready to execute it any moment. Just as he held his breath in utter anxiety and silence, suddenly the object of suspicion was finally in full view. To his surprise, it was just a broken log of tree indeed. Finally, he sighed in relief. The next day when he narrated the incident to his friend, at first his friend laughed at him. However, later he praised Arun for being a cautious and responsible head boy.
