A Lesson For Honesty And Comparison

I still remember the day when we get our answer sheet, and the mammoth task is showing that to our parents. I was never a topper but loved science since I was interested in the cause of everything. The haunted day, I had hidden my answer sheets on the front side of the small bag. My parents don't usually check my bag. But that day his one important disc was missing. The 'his' written above is my father. That day I came from my tuitions in the evening. After having a glass of milk with the white mustache, I was thinking about writing a script about expressing my marks to my parents. 

Father was busy searching for his missing disc. Mom asked whether I had got my answer sheets. This time tsunami was there in my heart. The father came near my mom and asked about sheets for me. With his rectangular specs, he looked at me ." Oh lord, I don't have the courage for war today, This time is the very last time please don't reduce marks for this reason for my next exam ". I said to myself. " NO'' I said. '' Are sure'' my father asked me. '' Yes'', I replied .

Mom left me and started doing her work. That night father entered my room. He said he wanted to talk to me. He sat near me on my bed smiled '' Why you behaved like this, I saw your answer sheet. While I was checking the disc, I thought I accidentally kept the disc in your bag since both are having the same color. So I searched in your bag and found it. It is ok if you scored low. But why did you said to lie ". I said " I hate it when you compare me with others. Especially with your that colleague's daughter".

I said it. He remains silent for some time. From then till now he had never compared me with others. After that incident, he was about to leave the room. I felt that it would be better if I had said the truth. But I felt if this had not happened, both of us would not have learned this lesson for him about comparison and for me about honesty. Mom was sleeping in the next room. I called him from behind softly, he turned back expecting a 'sorry'. I asked " Did you got your disc back ''. He was looking very angry. '' I mean, I wanted to say sorry''. He laughed, we both laughed.
