BETWEEN BROTHERS

A long story by Areeb Shahid, Std. IV
                                                        Once upon a time in Mumbai there was a boy named Sultan. He was the eldest of all his brothers. All his three brothers were very kind and truthful but he was not at all truthful. One day all the four brothers were studying for the class test of next day. The three truthful brothers were studying hard but Sultan did not study for test. Next day, before starting the test the three truthful brothers recited the name of Allah but the fourth brother, Sultan didn’t recite it because he didn’t truly believe in Allah. He didn’t know the answer of all 5 questions. He asked in a light whisper the answer of these five questions from his brothers but one of his brothers refused to answer the question. He said, “Sultan, you are cheating! The teacher will catch us.” Sultan started laughing and making fun of his brother. He said, “The teacher will not be able to catch us, so don’t worry and answer this question.” At last his brother answered the question. All the three brothers were afraid. The teacher looked at them and said, “Why are you talking during the test?” Sultan lied, “I am not talking, I am just asking for a pencil.” But his brother told the teacher that he was lying. The teacher failed him in the test and gave him punishment of not going for games till one week because he is not a true believer. After one week he promised his teacher, brothers, friends and his enemies that he will not do such a thing ever again and that he had learnt his lesson.”
