Lying in bed, Swami realised with a shudder that it was Monday morning. It looked as though only a moment ago it was Friday. Already Monday was here. He hoped he didn't have to go to school.
At nine o' clock, Swaminathan wailed, "I have a headache. "
Mother generously suggested that swami might stay at home. At 9:30, When he ought to have been in the school prayer Hall, Swami was lying on the bench in Mother's room.
Father asked him "Have you no school today? :
" Headache, " Swami replied.
'Nonsense ! Dress up and go. "
"Headache!"
"Loaf about less on Sundays and you will be without a headacha on Monday. "
Swami knew how strict his father could be. So he changed his tactics. "I can't go so late to the class. "
