(Angrily) What?! That was my favorite comic book!
(He begins chasing Tejal)
(Manish re-enters) Rohit? What are you doing?
(Caught off guard) ..Uhh, I was just playing with Tejal. I really
was.
ALWAYS BE MERCIFUL
No, he wasn't!
Rohit, did you forget the lesson we learned about mercy? I remembered it, and I forgave you for destroying my bicycle. Can't you forgive Tejal about the comic book? The book only cost twenty-five cents and my bike was a lot more than $100.
(Embarrassed) Yeah, I remember what we learned about mercy and forgiveness. Tejal, I'm sorry that I lost my temper. Don't worry about the comic book. I am not upset anymore. Things can happen. Thank you, Manish, for helping me remember the right thing to do. I'll work and earn some money to help you buy a new bike.
(Rohit, Tejal and Manish leave.)
I have thanked the trees That have made my life fruitful, But I have failed to remember The grass that has ever kept it green.
