Scene: (The three girls are seated under a tree after having their lunch.) Vina : Oh, we are so lucky today. Mina & Mini : But, why? Vina : Look! A 50 Rupee note is lying here. Mini : Come, I am so thirsty. We should go to canteen and have some cool drinks. Vina : Good idea! Let us go to canteen before the bell rings. I want cone ice cream! Mini : And for me one Choco bar. Wow! my mouth is watering at the very thought of it!! (Gets up) Mina : (snatches the money from Vina's hand) No. It is not correct to do so. You have forgotten so soon the story of "The Honest woodcutter", taught by our English Teacher! Vina : So what! It is just a story! Mina : Don't you remember our Bal Vikas guru telling us that Swami will be displeased if we are dishonest! (both nod their heads) Mina : This does not belong to us Vina : We do not know whose it is; do you want us to leave it as it was before? Mini : If not us, somebody else will take it away. Mina : True! Let us hand it over to our class teacher before going to our classroom. Both : Yes! yes! She will take the necessary steps. (holding Mina's hand) Thanks a lot Mina. You prevented us from resorting to a dishonest act which would have caused displeasure to our Swami! Mina : (with a smiling face) Am I not your friend! (Bell rings. All of them go to their class teacher to handover the money)
