Fear and Guts in Stage

I was studying second standard in Harvey English school.There was a story telling competition.I had given name for this competition .My mother trained me .I said story of Cap seller with rhythm.I wore newly bought Nethaji Subash Chandra Bose dress and I will throw the cap from stage after saying this story.


"There was a cap seller. He went from town to town to sell caps. Sometimes he had to pass the forest.

At night he kept his caps and slept under a tree. In the morning when he got up his caps were missing.

He looked here and there and heard some noise and he looked up and saw that the monkeys had taken his caps.

The cap sellers threw stones on the monkeys and the monkeys threw mangoes to protect themselves from the cap sellers.

The cap seller had an idea. He took his cap and threw it on the grass. The monkeys also threw the caps on the grass.

The cap seller took the caps happily. ~The End"
It was small stage in Harvey English school.I got second prize in this competition.If i want to say honestly about my character during those days i was so shy to external world and new people i face in life.In annual day my mother took me to annual day function .There was number of people in the function . Some epic drama,music programmes were held.After some time prize distribution began and chief guest started distributing prizes.I didn't want to go to such a big stage but went ton to get the prize.Small cute lunch box.I used to carry same lunch box till tenth standard.Whenever i see the photo i get nostalgic "Cute little boy timidly holding his hands on tiffin box given by chief guest "
