Theschool is often referred as ‘Eton of the East’, because its name is synonymouswith quality elite education. Mr. Oliver is a rational and mentally strong person.He does not easily give away to nervousness and imagination. He usually goes outafter school to the Shimla market and returns back in the evening.One day while, Mr. Oliver was returning from Shimla, it got quite late and hedecides to take a short cut through the pine forests. Carrying his torch he moveson briskly. Suddenly he comes across a weeping boy who was sitting with hishands covering his face. As per his duty as a teacher, he asked the child thereason for crying. Getting closer, he repeats the question. The boy lifted his faceand the teacher fills with horror to find that the boy had no features, no eyes, nomouth.
