Answer 1

Gully Cricket

It was a summer evening, and all the school-going boys were enjoying their holidays by playing cricket in the neighborhood. It was now Ram’s turn to bat, and he was known for his long shots. All the other kids were scared of him because he used to bat the ball so hard that they used to often end up losing it.

Today was no different. Ram hit the ball, and it broke a windowpane on the second floor of the nearby building. All of us ran from the spot, fearing that we would be given a nice scolding. But Ram did not move, and he stood proudly with the bat in his hand. Five minutes later, a young boy came down with the ball. He introduced himself as Shivam and gave the ball to Ram. As Shivam turned around, Ram said, “Thank you,” but Shivam did not respond. Ram patted his shoulder and said thank you to him once again. This time, the boy read his lips and replied, “Welcome”. He then told Ram that he had lost his ability to listen when he was young. Ram asked him if he would like to play with them, and he agreed happily. Since then, he has been giving Ram a tough time breaking window panes with his long shots.
