Mom 1: (after watching the son in dismay and thought) What? Mania? I will throw that TV out. Otherwise, I will have to take you to the asylum, and not to the school. Come let’s go..It’s already late to School.

(Son 2 appears crying)
Son 2: No mommy!! I Can’t! (Then pauses, stops crying, twisting the body says) But….. if you promise that you will give me a chocolate, then I’ll go………promise?

Student 3: United Kingdom.
Class Teacher: Very Good! It is the right answer! For that you deserve a sabash card. Here take this. (and gives a way a card)
Student 2: (Rebels against the answer and cries out to Mommy) Mommy! Mommy! He don’t know, she too don’t know! (and runs out to Mom 2, and mom 2 come to the front, and both meet in the centre of the stage)
Mom 2: ‘He, she, it don’t’ nahi beta, ‘he doesn’t’, ‘she doesn’t’, and it doesn’t.
Student 2: Thank You mommy! (And starts winning again) He doesn’t know! She doesn’t know! It doesn’t know
Mom 2: Doesn’t know what?
Student 2: Mommy, if UP is Uttar Predesh, MP is Madhya Pradesh, UK should be Uttar Kerala na?
Mom 2: (To the audience) Today’s children are far advanced. (And to the son) You are right son! He is also right!
Son 2: Teacher?
Mom 2: She is also right! (at the end of it they hear the teachers voice, calling out for student 2)
Class Teacher: Take this Sabash Card! And you too! (and gives out to all, and says to them and the audience) You know children, today is your day. Today is World’s Children’s Day. Children like you are the future of this world. No matter what you are, how sweet, grumpy, naughty, and cranky you are, you are precious in the Eyes of God. For God, every child is special, and every child is Unique. So we have a reason to celebrate today, right?
Student 4: Teacher, I want to join the choir!
Class Teacher: Very Good! Let’s all join and sing, because we have a reason to celebrate.
All Students: (stand up in one line, puts their hands on one another’s shoulders, and march singing…..) We are jolly good fellows,
We are jolly good fellows,
We are jolly good fellows,
