After playing on the swing sets and see-saws, he was all set to return when he
saw two of his friends. 'Hey, Zafar, come, let’s play cricket. I’ll beat you,’
exclaimed one of his friends.
'Ha! You're forgetting, Abhishek, it’s me who beats you every time. But, I've got
to study today,' replied Zafar.
‘Are you scared?' countered his friend.
'Okay, let’s do it then.' Zafar was convinced that self-respect should not be
compromised at any cost.
He returned home at 4:35 pm, all drenched in mud and sweat. 'I need to take a
bath. A healthy mind needs a healthy body.'
When he sat down for a late lunch, he discarded the idea of studying while
eating. Although, he did lose
track of time once he started
playing puzzles while munching
on his food.
