Its a time in my city for school admission of fresh badge. My 2 cousin brothers who willing to take admission in 6th standard and 8th standard, I searched for every school past 1 months. Finally I found a good school and they liked to take an oral test for every new student. It’s my responsibility over them as my uncle is busy with the office work.
During the oral test the teacher questioned my younger cousin “Please tell me the difference between Living and Non-Living things.”
I already prepared my cousin for this question at home so feeling relieved but he was nervous at the moment and could not speak a word. With the utter silence, I could see in teacher eyes that he understood his problem so he tried to help him by giving some examples. He hinted him by this gesture – like Living thing can breathe and Non- living cannot breathe. He needs to give answer something like that, meanwhile he provides few more hints.
My cousin replied – living thing can speak while Non-living cannot speak. Teacher counter attacked by this - if I put Television on very loud voice and I assumed it is speaking. Will you consider it a living thing?
No! – My cousin replied.
Teacher spoke on this - Boy! You need to give some good answer so that I can pass you in this oral test otherwise you had seen the longest queue of students around 5,000+ outside this room. So better come up with good answer and I’ve a feeling that you already have lots of expectation.
My cousin waits for the moment and immediately replied – Living thing can play and Non-living thing cannot play.
The teacher burst into laugh because it was the most unexpected answer as he could not counter attack on this reason and it was full of innocence.
Later, when result out, he was in selection list at 19th rank, and 200 students have been selected in 6th standard.

Hehe Mayumi,
This is short story and It's true incident of my life. I want to bigger stories, like a novel. For this I need to be fully expert in English.
Thanks for liking the story. :)
Aha! I've just discovered something I think you are really good in writing stories with your real experiences. You did a great job here! I think, it is what I am referring for in my comment to you in your other blog "The Art of Convince" (hmm, I'm just thinking maybe it should be the Art of Convincing or the Art to convince.
Though it is short all ingredients are here. It is clear. Everything is successfully connected to each other. And is easy to understand to a simple-minded reader like me.

He is really very intelligent as well. I was with him and controlled my laugh with answer. He was not aware what did he said actually and just trying to find answer till the end.
I liked his answer. He is really innocent!
