Govinda : May I come in, Sir?
Teacher : Govinda, you are late again.
Govinda : I’m sorry, Sir.
Teacher : Well, don’t be late tomorrow. (Govinda starts crying.)
Teacher : Don’t cry, Govinda. What’s the matter?
Govinda : Sir, my mother suddenly took ill. And nobody else was there at home.
Teacher : Oh! What did you do then?
Govinda : I took her to our family doctor. Then I phoned my father. He came and then only could I come to school. Sorry, Sir.
Teacher : That’s all right. Now come and take your seat.
Govinda : Thank you, Sir.
