The Last Lesson by Alphonse Daudet

  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. On the way, he passes through the Town Hall and notices a huge crowd around the Notice board. He does not stop as Bulletin board served all bad news, lost battles, the drafts and orders of the commanding officers. He sees Prussian soldiers drilling but resists. On reaching the school, he notices that everything was as quiet as a Sunday morning. He is not scolded by the teacher.

  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
