{ This story is from old times 😊😇 }

( from India 🇮🇳 )

I was in fifth standard at the government school. One day, I went to school 🏫 with four rupees in my pocket to pay 💰 school fees . When I got there I found that the teacher 👩‍🏫‍ who collected the fees, Sir Michael Dicosta, was in leave and so the fees would be collected the next day ☀. All through the day the coins simply sat in my pocket, but once school got over and I was on my way, they began to speak 🗣...

All right 😅 . Coins don't talk 🙂 . They jingle . but that day they actually spoke 😳 !! Once coin said " what are you thinking 🤔 about those fresh, hot Jalebis..( 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑎𝑛 𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑆𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑠𝑦𝑟𝑢𝑝 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑠 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 😊 ).. ? Jalebis are meant to be eaten and only those with money in their pocket can eat them.

( This is Jalebi... 👆 )

" Look here, you Four rupees. " I said to them. " I am a good child. Don't misguide me orvit won't be good for you. Besides, you are my fees money. If I spent you today, then how shall I show my face to Sir Michael Dicostain school tomorrow? "

The coins disliked 😩 what I 'd said All of them began to speak at the same time. There was such a clamour that passerby in the bazaar stared at me and my pocket. I grabbed all four of them and held them right in my fist and then they were silent 🔕. But after taking a few steps 👣 , I loosened my grip. Immediately, the oldest coin said, " Tell me honestly now, don't you feel like eating thos hot, hot jalebis? And then, if you spend 💸 us for today, won't you get the scholarship money 💵 tomorrow. ? sweets with the fees money, fees with the Scholarship money. "

"What you are saying 💬 isn't right. " I replied, " but it isn't that wrong either. Listen, I am not a common sort of child. " The coins argued, " But then, those Jalebis are no common sort of Jalebis either. They're crisp, fresh and full of sweet syrup. "

The coins were so keen on being spent 💸 that day☀ , they kept up their attempts. Finally I rushed to the shop. Terrified 😖 I was, but quickly I told the Halwai ( The 👨‍🍳 Cook ) to weigh a whole rupee worth of jalebis. The Halwai opened up a whole newspaper and heaped a pile of Jalebis on it...

I clutched the Jalebis to my chest and ran 🏃 into a Gali (street). When I reached a safe 😇 corner, I began to devour the Jalebis. I ate so Many.... So Many Jalebis that if anyone pressed my stomach a little, Jalebis would be popped out of my ears and nostrils...

Very quickly, kids from the entire neighborhood assembled in the Gali ( Street) . By the time I was so pleased😄😆 with my stomach full of Jalebis thatvi got into the mood for some fun. I started handing out Jalebis to the Children around. I dashed to the Halwai and bought one more rupee worth of Jalebis, came back and stood on the Chabutara ( platform ) of one of the houses 🏡 , liberally distributing Jalebis to the children...

By now there was a huge mob of children around me. The beggars too launched an assault 😳 ! I baught Jalebis for the remaining two rupees as well and distributed them. Then I washed my hands and mouth at the public tap and returned home, putting on such an Innocent face, as if I hadn't even seen the hint of a Jalebis all my life. Digesting Jalebis become another matter. At night 🌙 I 🙋 had to eat dinner 🍽 as well.

The result was that all night🌙 I lay, coiled up like a Jalebi, suffering a stomach ache. Thank God I didn't have to eat all four rupees worth of Jalebis by myself. In the mo morning 🌄 just like any other day ☀, I went to school 🏫. I knew I would get the previous month's Scholarship that day ☀ and once I'd paid 💰 the fees with that amount, the Jalebis would be completely digested. But when I got to school, I found out that the Scholarship was going to be paid the following month. My head 👱 started to spin 💫 .

Sir Michael Dicosta announced that the fees would be taken during the recess. When the recess bell rang, I left the school 🏫 and walked 🚶👣 on and on. Finally I reached the railway🚂 station🚏. I started praying to God. " Just this once save me. order an Angel 👼 to pass by and drop just for rupees in my pocket. I promise I will use them only to pay 💰 my fees and not to eat Jalebis. "

There was a shade - giving tree 🌳 beside the railway tracks 🛤. Earlier the entire matter seemed so simple : Jalebis with the fees money and the fees with Scholarship money. I had known that I would get the Scholarship the next month, I would have postponed my Jalebi eating programme to the next month as well. Now for the crime of eating few Jalebis, for the first time in my life I was absent from school. Sitting there under the tree 🌲 , at first I felt like crying (T_T) 😭 . Then I felt like laughing 😂 when it struck me that the tears 😢 I was shedding we're not tears but drops 💧of Jalebi Syrup.

I got up from there and walked to the bazaar and waited for the school bell 🔔 to ring, so that when the children came out , I too would vwalk hone with them as if I had coke straight from school.

The next day I did the same thing. I got dressed and left home, went up to the school gate 🏫⛩ then turned off to the railway station 🚉 . Under the same tree 🌳 I sat and began to say 🗣 the same prayers 🙏 . I repeatedly pleaded " My God 😭🙏 ! At least give it to me today. Today is the second day. " Then I said, " All right come, let's play a game. I will go 🏃 from here to that signal 🎋. You secretly place Four rupees under this big stone. I will touch that signal 🎋 and come back. "

I went up to the signal 🎋 and return 🚶 , smiling 😊.

Finally after saying the name of God, When I lifted up the rock, a big hairy worm 🐛 got up. I screamed and ran 🏃💨 away.

I was caught. The report of my absence had reached home. It's unless to describe what happened after that.

Well, whatever happened, happened. But up to the seventh or eight Standard I kept wondering, if God had sent me four rupees that day, what harm could it have possibly caused anyone? It was only laterbthat I came to the conclusion that if God we're to provide all we asked for , then even today, man would be living in nests like crows and he would not have learnt the art of making Jalebis 😋🥨 !!..
