I anxiously waited for the school to begin， so that I take my class and start the work. I was excited to put my new plan into practice： to bring about peace and order in the class，  to make classroom teaching interesting and win over my pupils. My heart was full of excitement and I could feel my pulse throbbing.

　　As the bell rang， boys entered their classes. The headmaster took me to my class and introduced me to the students.

　　“Listen boys！” he said.

　　“Mr. Laxmiram， will be your new class teacher. You must obey his orders and no pranks and mischief， I warn you！”

　　I looked at the children whom I have to teach for the next twelve months. I could see some of them smiling， some winking at each other and few nodded stiffly. One or two stared at me in surprise and the rest stood looking totally unconcerned.

　　I looked on. “These are the children I have to teach； these mischievous lot！‘ I thought to myself. I was a little unnerved； but I recovered. ’Nothing to worry about，‘ I told myself， ’I will take them on by and by‘。

　　I returned home a little dejected.

　　‘The task seems to be a bit difficult one，’ I said to myself as I sat down. ‘In fact， it’s going to be a really tough test. Well， no matter！ I am not going to give up. I should have known one doesn‘t play by the game of silence in this manner. In Montessori school a lot of preparatory work is done before the game is taken up. I was a fool to take it up on my very first day！ I should have got to know my pupils and established a rapport with them. Only then would they listen to me and follow my instructions. These boys do not like the school and they want holidays！ It is no easy task to work with them.’

　　I prepared a plan of work for the next day and went to bed. I passed the night dreaming of the day‘s happenings and the next day’s work.

　　Next day I was at school when the gates opened. The boys crowded around me. “Sir，” they cried. “Why not have a holiday today？ Sir， a day off today. ”Please， Sir.

　　This was the right time to put my plan into practice， “All right，” I said. “I will let you off today but not for the whole day only for two hours. However， you will first listen to a story that I am going to tell you. We shall discuss other matters afterwards.”

　　I began my story： “Once there was a king. He had seven queens. Each queen had a prince and a princess…”

　　The boys sat down around me to hear the story. There was some commotion and shoving. So I said， “Boys， this is not right. Sit around in an orderly manner.”

　　That brought about some order. They said， “Sir， please continue the story. What happened next？”

　　My plan was working， I smiled and picked up the thread.

　　“Each of the seven princess had a palace of her own. There were， in the garden of each palace， seven trees of pearls…”

　　The boys listened with rapt attention. The whole class was quiet not a sound or movement anywhere. The headmaster was surprised with an absolute silence and came to the class to find what the matter was.

　　He asked me， “Are you telling a story？”

　　“Yes，” I said， “a story， and a new kind of game of silence.”

　　As the headmaster left， I continued with the story. There was some noise in the neighbouring class. I drew the pupils‘ attention to it. “See how this noise disturbs us！” All the boys agreed.

　　Halfway through the story I stopped. “Tell me，” I said to my pupils， “If you want a holiday， we shall stop here now. If not， we may continue with the story.”

　　“Please continue the story； we don‘t want the day off，” they answered
