उत्तर
Margot was gazing out of the glass window. William asked her what she was looking at. She didn’t speak. They shoved her and edged away from her. The children in the school hated Margot, the snow-faced girl. They hated her for her knowledge of the Sun. She was firm that they would see the sunlight that day as per the prediction of the scientists. The boys got annoyed. They seized her roughly and took her to a closet and locked her ignoring her pitiful cries of protest.
