2005. Class 10th B.
The English teacher miss Mavis, is going on in her monotone as most of the class sleeps. She then starts asking random questions like "What is the correct pronunciation of s-w-o-r-d?", to which people reply "swore-d!". She looks disappointed, though not surprised. So she just continues with reading the lesson instead. It's a dull half hour class until she decides to ask her last question, looking hopefully for a correct answer- "Can anyone tell me the adjective of Cow?". The class is silent now. Everyone looks at each other, sighs, and goes back to sleep. Except the boy on the first bench. He got the first question wrong and has no idea about this one, but he must say something. The reputation of the class is at stake, and it's worth saving for the sake of the few sincere students in it. But he does not know the answer. Ah chuck it! Let's throw a stone in the dark, he says; at least it will wake everyone up. So he tries, and his mind soars as is delves into the soul of the world to to gain the knowledge unknown.. Suddenly the answer comes to him, and he is enlightened for that brief moment as he shouts, "Beef!"...
