Teacher : Right. Can this doll walk by itself? Ravi : No, it cannot walk by itself, but I can make it look
as if it were walking. Teacher : Neela, can this doll see with its eyes? Neela : No, it cannot see with its eyes. Teacher : Ramesh, can it sing? Ramesh : How can it sing when it cannot even talk? Teacher : Well, it has ears so it should be able to hear us, Ramesh : (laughing) Sir, it cannot hear or understand what
we are talking about. Teacher : Komal, can it eat since it has mouth? Komal : It cannot eat or drink. Teacher : Chetan, will it cry, if I drop it off the table? Chetan : It will not cry. Teacher : You all gave good answers. Do you all agree that
this doll cannot walk, see, eat or listen like us? Children : Yes, we all agree. Teacher : What is the reason for this? What is the difference
between the baby doll and us? Ravi, do you know? Ravi : We are real people, while the baby doll is only a
toy. Teacher : Ravi, can you tell me what "real people" mean to
you?
