It's found out! Earth is actually Flat.



 

Children rushed for the school. It was eight 'o clock in the morning. There was no sun or promise of sun, and there was not a single cloud in the sky. It was a clear day. Like another ordinary day, the school bell rang. Preeti ran and put her hand on the shoulder of Prateek. He turned around and looked at her. She was blooming like a flower.

"You got Idli-vada for lunch today", and he extended his arm towards the left of her shoulder. She looked at him disappointingly and said to him in a subdued voice: "You forgot". Then, shaking off her torpor, she added: "Today is our Intraclass drawing competition.

Prateek was astounded. He banged his head and said to her: "I completely forgot". He pleaded with her to share her stationary with him. She nodded with a pleasing smile.

The competition started at twelve 'o clock sharp. Preeti had butterflies in her stomach. The class teacher entered and wrote down this one word with the chalk - "Earth". Preeti and Prateek looked at each other and smiled.

The bell rang at one o'clock straight. Teachers collected the drawing sheet from each child. Preeti handed down her sheet with an alluring smile. Both eagerly waited for the result. 

The class teacher set foot in the class and shared a mischievous looked with Preeti.  She announced the result in a fraction of seconds. But when it comes to telling the name of the winner. She smiled to herself and showed the drawing to the class. Preeti felt out like a light. In the drawing sheet, the earth was half divided, and a girl was looking at it. And children were playing on that flat surface. The teacher announced, "It found out! Earth is actually flat".
