Write an original story that begins with the words : “He was the funniest boy I had ever met. He would make everyone laugh………”

Answer 1

He was the funniest boy I had ever met. He would make everyone laugh till their stomachs ached, and they would ask him to stop. Such was his nature in the company of friends and people whom he knew.
Sameer, yet the boy known for his wittiness and prompt, clever remarks, was a star attraction wherever he stood. He was also well-liked by both his classmates and teachers in class because he never used harsh or sarcastic language in his responses. Rather, he turned every incident, situation, or circumstance into healthy humour, and a smile would spread on the face of even the most serious person sitting there. This was the reason everyone wanted to be his friend.
Little did anyone know the pain hid behind his smiling face except his true and close friend Saurabh. Sameer was from an average family and lived comfortably with his parents and younger sister. His father worked for an insurance company, and his mother was a housewife. Both he and his sister were studying in a well-known convent school in the city. One day, tragedy struck their family in the form of Sameer’s father losing his job as he became terminally ill due to blood cancer.
This was a great blow to the family, which was otherwise leading a happy and content life. Sameer, being a male member, had to take up the responsibility of looking after himself, his studies, and his family. It was a great blow that life had given him at such a tender age. He was drowned in a sea of sorrow and hopelessness.
His grandmother and mother were anxiously seeking information about his condition. They consoled, comforted, and talked to him, but to no avail. He just would not talk; he always put a serious expression on his face and went about doing his work and studies mechanically. His mother consulted a psychologist, who told him about the changes that had come to him. The doctor advised them to bring him to his clinic in the hospital. Sameer had to pass through the children’s ward while going over to the clinic. The small children of various ages and sizes caught his attention as he peered into the ward. Some were playing, some were sleeping, and some talked, but all had a smile on their faces. He was told they were all suffering from cancer and didn’t have very many days to live.
Sameer was shocked into silence, a lot of emotions were coming and going on his face. One could see he was fighting with himself. Continuously, his gaze was on the smiling, cheerful faces of the little children. He let out a deep sigh of breath, and along with it, a lot of pent-up emotions were released. He was now relaxed, and it seemed as if those children had taught him the mantra of how to be happy. It is since that day that a new, happy Sameer rose from the ashes of the sad and grave Sameer. His motto in life now has become to be happy and make others happy, irrespective of any difficulties and challenges of life one may be facing. That is the secret of his being applauded and loved by one and all alike, and moreover, with renewed energy, he is facing all his duties.
