told me that they like life the same way we do; they feel the pain the same way we do and they also feel happy or
unhappy the same way we do. Sheela : Oh !!! This is getting interesting. Tell me more about what
they teach. Ami : They also teach us that we should not hurt anyone, get
mad at anyone, not show off in class, tell the truth, share!
what we have and not steal. Sheela : I was mistaken. Pathshala is not a waste of time. Ami : Wait, that is not all. They also tell us stories. They show
us videos on Jainism. We sing devotional songs, and we
have discussions among ourselves. Sheela : I have been missing a lot. Well, I will tell my mom to take
me to the Pathshala next Sunday, and if she is busy, I will
go with Rina. She goes to the Pathshala regularly. Ami : That is wonderful. I am so happy that you will be going
to the Pathshala. Hey !!! I forgot to ask you why you
called me last week. Sheela : Oh yeah !!! I called to let you know that we are planning
to come to your house next weekend. I wanted to spend
time with you. Ami : Sure and on Sunday we can go to Pathshala. Sheela : Oh Yeah !!! That's a deal. I am sure, I will have a good
time. Bye. Ami : Bye.
