  The Last Lesson by Alphonse Daudet Franz is scared of going to school as his French teacher M. Hamel had announced a test on participles which he had not learnt. Although, Franz wants day out of the school and enjoy beauty of nature- the bright sunshine, the birds chirping in the woods, but eventually decides to go to the school.

  Available on Flipkart & Amazon Lost Spring by Anees Jung W       The writer Anees Jung encounters Saheb - a rag picker whose parents have left behind the life of poverty in Dhaka to earn a living in Delhi. His family like many other families of rag pickers lives in Seemapuri. They do not have any identification other than a ration card. The children do not go to school and they are excited at the prospect of finding a coin or even a ten rupee note for scrounging in the garbage. It is the only way of earning a living. The writer is pained to see Saheb-e-alam losing the spark of childhood and roaming barefoot with his friends. Later on Saheb works in a tea stall and is paid Rs. 800 per month. He sadly realizes that he is no longer a free bird and master of his own will. He is more of a bonded labourer with surrendered freedom and identity and this loss weighs heavily on his tender shoulders. The author then tells about another victim of poverty, Mukesh who wants to be a motor
