So there was a long queue of parents who were always interested in seeking admission of their wards to this school. My parents have really worked hard to get me admitted in this school as they had to stand in long queues to get only an admission form for me. After submitting the admission form, they were asked all sorts of questions. Another list of the selected children was displayed in which date and time were also mentioned for the interview of the children. There were a lot of students who were questioned one by one. Being a shy boy, my parents were really tensed whether I would give answers or not. But by the God’s grace and my parents’ hard work, I managed anyhow and I got admitted to the school.

The Interview Summary
The play is about a boy named Ramu who was preparing for admission to a school. Ramu was seeking admission to class VI in a town named Tiruchi where his father had been transferred. The school in which Ramu wanted to take admission had only five seats and there were twenty aspiring candidates for those five seats. Ramu’s sister whom he
called Akka told him to prepare well for the interview as he should have answered each and every question the board would put up. He also told Ramu that it was going to be a tough competition for him but he was very confident about himself. When Ramu reached the school for interview, he saw many boys there. In the school, Ramu met his old friend Balu whose father had also been transferred to Tiruchi.
All the boys were called in one by one for the interview. Ramu was the last candidate to be interviewed. The clerk took him to the interview room where three men were sitting round a table. The headmaster told Ramu to have a seat. The first question which the headmaster asked Ramu was about his previous school and the reason as to why Ramu wanted to get admission to this school. Ramu told them that his father had been transferred here due to which he had to leave his previous school which he liked very much. The next question the headmaster asked was about the best thing of the town. Ramu promptly replied that the Uchipallayyar Kovil, the temple of Lord Ganesha from where one could have a grand view of the town, was the best thing of the town.
The headmaster quickly asked how many steps did he take to climb up the temple. Ramu quickly answered. He took the same number of steps to climb up, he had taken to come down. The next question was asked about his fun. The last question which was put up to Ramu was about his short height. Ramu replied without hesitation that nobody in the family was tall. He also told them that once when his father was put up the same question by his boss he replied that his legs were long enough to reach the ground. Hearing his smart reply, the headmaster him the form and told to gave deposit the fees.
यह नाटक रामू नामक लड़के के बारे में है जो कि विद्यालय की प्रवेश परीक्षा की तैयारी कर रहा था। रामू तिरूची नामक कस्बे में छठी कक्षा में प्रवेश लेने की तैयारी कर रहा था जहाँ उसके पिता का स्थानांतरण हुआ था। जिस स्कूल में रामू प्रवेश लेना चाहता था, उसमें केवल पाँच सीटें खाली थी और बीस लड़के उसके लिए परीक्षा देने आये थे। रामू की बहन जिसे वह अक्का कहकर बुलाता था, उसे अपनी तैयारी बहुत अच्छे से करने का सुझाव दिया, क्योंकि प्रवेश पाने के लिए रामू को उनके हर सवाल का जवाब आना चाहिए था। रामू को पूरा विश्वास था कि उसे विद्यालय में प्रवेश अवश्य मिलेगा। जब रामू विद्यालय पहुँचा तो उसने देखा कि बहुत से लड़के परीक्षा के लिए कतार में बैठे थे। वहाँ उसे अपना पुराना मित्र बालू मिल गया जिसके पिता का स्थानांतरण भी तिरूची में हुआ था।
सभी छात्रों को साक्षात्कार के लिए बारी-बारी से बुलाया गया। रामू साक्षात्कार के लिए अन्तिम छात्र था। जब वह साक्षात्कार कक्ष में पहुँचा तो उसे तीन लोग बैठे हुये दिखे। पहला सवाल रामू से प्रधानाध्यापक ने उसके पिछले स्कूल के विषय में किया। जिसके जवाब में रामू ने बताया कि उसे अपना पिछला विद्यालय अपने पिता के स्थानांतरण के कारण छोड़ना पड़ा। अगले सवाल में प्रधानाध्यापक ने तिरूची की सबसे अच्छी जगह के बारे में गणेश का मन्दिर तिरूची की सबसे अच्छी जगह है जहाँ से पूछा। रामू ने उन्हें बताया कि उचिपलायार कोविल भगवान पूरे कस्बे का नजारा लिया जा सकता है।
यह सुनते ही उन्होंने रामू से पूछा कि मंदिर तक जाने के लिए कितनी सीढ़ियों का प्रयोग किया गया। रामू ने उन्हें बताया कि ठीक उतनी ही, जितनी सीढ़ियों का प्रयोग उसने मन्दिर से उतरने में किया। अगला प्रश्न रामू से उसके मनोरंजन के बारे में पूछा गया। रामू ने उस प्रश्न का भी समुचित एवं सटीक उत्तर दिया। रामू से निर्णायकों ने अन्तिम प्रश्न उसके छोटे कद के बारे में पूछा। रामू ने बिना किसी झिझक के उत्तर दिया कि उसके परिवार में सभी लोगों का कद छोटा है। उसने उन्हें यह भी बताया कि एक बार उसके पिता के अधिकारी ने उनसे ठीक यही प्रश्न किया था। उन्होंने कहा कि उसके पाँव जमीन पर पहुँचने के लिए काफी हैं। उसकी हाजिर जवाबी को सुनकर प्रधानाध्यापक ने रामू को फार्म पकड़ा दिया और उसे अपनी फीस जमा करवाने के लिए कहा।

Girl Gang Summary
This story is about the friendship of a group of girls. In this story the author shows how all of them help one another to find the solution of their problems. On one Saturday afternoon Alice was going for shopping in a train. She saw that her classmate Kirsty was also travelling in the same train. A ticket checker came to check the ticket. She told the checker that she might have lost the ticket and had no money to buy another ticket. The checker told her that she would be taken to authority in that case. Kirsty begged before him to forgive her but it was of no use.
One day after school when Alice was about to leave for her home Kirsty came running to her and told her if their geography teacher whom they called the Old Sour Breath comes asking about Kirsty, Alice should pretend that she had not seen her. When geography teacher Mr. Sawyer came and asked about Kirsty, she simply lied that she had not seen her. The teacher took her to the classroom to show what Kirsty had done to the class. All the maps and displays were torn into pieces and everything was lying on the floor. When she came out, she saw that Kirsty was waiting for her outside the school gate with her four friends.
Alice told Kirsty that she had told nothing to Mr. Sawyer. Kirsty told that it was a revenge on Mr. Sawyer as he took girls as inferior one. Next day when Alice opened her geography book she found a note from Kirsty to meet her urgently at 8 o’clock in the park at night. At night the girls assembled in the park. A girl named Sandra was their leader. They all gathered there to take revenge from the ticket collector. They had a bag full of apples which they bombarded on the conductor’s house and ran away. Kirsty told Alice not to utter a word about the incident in front of anybody. Now Alice was the new member of the girl’s power gang.

यह सुनकर वे एलिस को अपने साथ कक्षा दिखाने के लिए ले गये। वहाँ जाकर एलिस ने देखा कि सभी मानचित्र कक्षा में इधर-उधर बिखरे हुये थे। जब ऐलिस बाहर आयी तो उसने देखा कि क्रिस्टी चार अन्य लड़कियों के साथ स्कूल के बाहर उसका इंतजार कर रही थीं। एलिस ने क्रिस्टी को बताया कि वह सब उसने Mr. Sawyer से बदला लेने के लिए किया क्योंकि वह लड़कियों को हीन समझते थे। अगले दिन जब ऐलिस ने अपनी कक्षा में भूगोल की किताब खोली तो उसमें क्रिस्टी का लिखा हुआ एक पर्चा पाया जिस पर क्रिस्टी ने ऐलिस को रात आठ बजे बहुत ही जरूरी काम के लिए बुलाया था।
रात को वहाँ पर पहले से बहुत सी लड़कियाँ एकत्रित थी । सान्ड्रा नाम की लड़की उनकी नेता थी। उन्होंने ऐलिस को बताया कि आज वे वहाँ उस निरीक्षक से बदला लेने के लिए जमा हुई थी जिसने रेल में क्रिस्टी की बात नहीं सुनी थी। उनके पास सेबों से भरा हुआ एक थैला था जिससे उन्होंने निरीक्षक के घर पर बमवारी की और वहाँ से भाग गयी। क्रिस्टी ने ऐलिस से यह सब किसी से भी न कहने का वादा लिया। इसके बाद उन्होंने ऐलिस को भी अपने समूह का सदस्य बना लिया।

Tape Script
Aerodynamic Mishap
I made a paper aeroplane
It really was the best,
I took my time to make it right
To that I can attest!
I’d planned it all so thoroughly,
I’d sketched from either side,
I knew that all would be amazed
To see it swoop and dive,
But its first flight was not too planned
Though it soared up high,
The teacher turned, it crashed and burned
And hit her in the eye!
My plane, screwed up, went in the bin,
All agreed it was a shame.
But my teacher’s got a big black eye,
And I’m the one to blame!

Do it yourself.

The Inside – Out Stocking Summary
Once upon a time there was a little unlucky boy named Rex. He always had some or the other reason for him being unlucky such as he would fall down while running or loose a pound from the hole of his pocket. Rex was very good at running races. Once a sports meet was being organised in his school, in which all the sports events such as running, obstacle race and other games were going to take place. Many schools were also taking part in the sports meet. Rex’s headmaster asked him to take part in running race. Then he told his headmaster about how unlucky he was.
He told his headmaster that on that day he would surely have something due to which he would not be able to take part in the race. Lucy, Rex’s sister was very concerned about her brother. She wanted her brother to take part in the race as she was confident that her brother would win the race if he took part. In their own town, there lived an old lady Mother Brown. Lucy visited her and asked how she could bring luck to her brother. Mother Brown suggested that a black cat would bring luck to him. But there was no black cat in their village.
Then Mother Brown told her if on getting up in the morning you put on one of your stockings inside out without noticing then it might make you lucky for that day. Lucy had an idea in her mind. She walked back home and just a night before the sports day she waited for Rex to fall asleep and turned one of his stockings inside out. In the morning Rex put on his stocking inside out without noticing. Lucy and Rex went to the school and Rex won all the races without any obstruction. He was very happy. Lucy thought that she will do the same thing always for his brother to make him lucky. After that Rex usually won all the games and had many lucky days.
