Here is a short school life story with a moral. Read it for fun or use it as a model for story writing in class.
The Last Bench Star
Riya was a quiet girl in Class 6. She always sat on the last bench. She did not speak much in class. Her friends thought she was not good at studies.
One day, the teacher announced a quiz. The winner would get a book prize. Everyone thought Aman, the class topper, would win.
The quiz began. Aman answered the first three questions. Then came a question on plants. Aman did not know the answer. The teacher looked around. Riya slowly raised her hand. She gave the right answer. Then she answered the next question, and the next.
Riya won the quiz. The whole class clapped. Aman came to her and said, Well done, Riya. I did not know you read so many books.
Riya smiled. She said, I read at home every night. I was just too shy to say it.
From that day, Riya was not shy anymore. She spoke in class and helped her friends with their lessons.
Moral
Do not judge anyone by how quiet they are. Every child has a talent. Give everyone a chance to shine.
