Where there is a Will, There is a Way

Where there is a Will, There is a Way

One day I saw a boy hiding behind a wall next to the staircase at school. He looked to be frightened. He had black hair and his skin tone was whitish. He seemed to be of the same age as me. He was shaking. I went towards him to ask why he was hiding. When he noticed me he got petrified. I calmly asked him, “Hello dear friend! Why are you hiding?”


He seeing me speak so politely, stammered and said, “Hello! I am hiding here for the peon is after me.” The next question which came to my mind was,” Why is he after you?” Well when I asked this from the boy, he said, “I am from a poor family, my parents could not afford to make me go to a school. So, I saved some money and bought a school uniform. Using it I would sit in any class and learn the things the teacher would be teaching. I want to study.” “The school peon once saw me and since then he has been chasing me.”


Hearing this I felt bad for him and thought to tell our principal about it, for he was a kind and generous man. I was sure he would let him study. We went inside the cabin and explained what had happened. Our principal felt sorry for the child and allowed him to study, but the rules were that he had to obey all the school rules and to not disturb others. Well he followed all the rules and gained a lot of knowledge. Now he is a civil servant in one foreign countries and he still remembers me.
