Rani was a very good girl. She came to school without any leave and she would come at the right time without delay. She was very good in studies also. She was from a middle class family. Her father was running a small stationery shop. Rani with her parents lived a comfortable life without financial problems.
Rekha was also very good in studies. But she was very famous for coming late to school. Many times she got scoldings and beatings from the teacher as punishment for coming late. But still she was coming late everyday saying some silly reasons. Her teacher liked her very much because she was very good in studies and also very obedient inside the classroom. But, the teacher shouted and warned her to let the other students know the consequences of coming late. Rekha lost her father when she was one year old. She had some problem in her legs and She was not able to walk easily like her friends. Her mother did household works in few houses and paid the school fees of her daughter.
Rani and Rekha studied together in the fifth Standard. They had been very good friends from the beginning of their school life. One day their teacher said, "School sports day is going to happen tomorrow. Prizes will be distributed for the people who had won in the various sports categories. And this time I am going to introduce a special award. You can see a blackboard near the door of our class tomorrow. Student who is coming first to the class should write their name on that board. That student will get the special award."
Rani told Rekha,"Hey, come early tomorrow and write your name in the board. I want you to get that special award. Just one day. Come early and get that award. Teacher and your mother will be very happy if you get that award."
Rekha told,"Sorry! I will come late as usual. My mother is doing household works in few houses and she is not able to manage all the works alone. And hence I am going with her in the morning and helping her. This is the only help I can do to my mother. And I would have my food there itself. Then, I will come to school. This is the reason for coming late everyday." Then, they walked towards their homes.
