उत्तर

Once, on a Sunday afternoon, I was held at gunpoint on the corner of the road behind a tree. I saw a man walking by but couldn't utter a word as the young man standing behind me, twisting my arm, had threatened to kill me if I shouted for help. At that very moment, I thought my life was over, but I wouldn't give up hope.

            This happened when I was on my way to my friend's house. I had sensed that someone was following me. But, despite checking twice, I did not notice anyone. Then suddenly, this young man wearing fairly decent clothes pulled me behind a tree and said, "I know your father has won a lottery. Call him and tell him that you are kidnapped ... ". I had a plan, so I stopped him halfway and said, "You are mistaken. My father didn't win the lottery."

           The young man seemed confused when he heard this. He pulled me in front of him and said angrily, "I'm no fool..." I was waiting for that moment as I was confident of my two years of karate training; I kicked the gun from the man's hand, gave him two more blows, and in a couple of seconds, he lay flat on the roadside. I quickly shouted for help. A few people gathered around me and called the police, and that's how I realised that courage and hope can help me overcome any major mishap/problem in life.
