3. Why didn't Swami hand over the complaint letter to the headmaster in the morning?
Ans. Swami knew well that he had given wrong description of Mr. Samuel to his father. So he didn't hand over the complaint letter to the headmaster in the morning. He wanted that Samuel should do such an act that might make him justified for the punishment.

Ans. Swami got success in annoying his teacher too much that he caned him. He found Mr. Samuel's act was justified for the punishment.

II. HOTS
‘Swami went to school feeling that he was the worst prejurer on earth. '. Describe Swami's feeling at this point. Why did he feel like ' the worst perjurer'?
Ans. Swami told several lies about his teacher Samuel for not going to school. He was feeling very bad because after reading the letter, the headmaster might dismiss him and hand him over to the police. Samuel was not a bad teacher but Swami made him so saying that he beats boys severely. Sadly, he felt like 'the worst prejurer'. His conscience chided him for his false imagination.
III. Life Skills
What impression have you formed of Swami ’s relation with his father? How should children and their parents behave with each other?
Ans. Swami's father is a very strict person. He never listens excuses for not going to school. He is disciplined in nature and wants the same in his son. At the same time, he is a caring father. He feels angry when he hears that Samuel beats children severely. He even writes a letter to the headmaster so that the children would be escaped from the punishment and Samuel must be punished for his cranky attitude towards students.

What a bad day it was for me! I was forced by father to go to school. Unwillingly, I had go to school. I made an excuse that my teacher Mr. Samuel would beat me because I was late. Being angry, my father wrote a letter against him and asked me to give it to my headmaster. I reached school and I knew that I told lies my father about Mr. Samuel. I decided to provoke my teacher to beat me. The teacher said nothing on my lame excuse of getting late and not doing homework. It was four then. Samuel came again and I began to ask him silly questions loudly. He scolded me several times and asked me to shut my mouth. But he found me quite Indiscipilined. He took out his stick from the drawer and beat me. It was I who provoked him to do.
B. Imagine that you are Samuel. Write a diary entry expressing your surprise at Sqi's strange behaviour in the class and your feelings at caning him.

Oh! What a bad experience I had today in my class! Today, I was teaching arithmetic when Swami came in. He was half an hour late. When I asked him the reason, he answered that he was having a headache. He had nit done his homework . I said nothing. It was four then. It was my history period in Swami's class. I felt that he was behaving in am unusual manner as he did never before. He asked me a question in a loud voice. I controlled my anger and told him to sit down, I even told him that his headache had made him mad. I threatened to cane him. I asked questions on the Mughal period. Swami stood and began to interrupt. He provekrd me with his annoying questions. It made me out of temper. I canned him but I felt very sad. I am never in favour of corporal punishment in schools. But he provoked me so much that I had to beat him. My heart is heavy till then.
