As soon as the school bell rang, he gathered his books and hurried home. Other boys stopped on the way chatting, playing or eating, but Gandhi always went straight home. He was afraid the boys might stop him and make fun of him. One day, the Inspector of Schools, Mr. Giles, came to Gandhi’s school. He read out five English words to the class and asked the boys to write them down. Gandhi wrote four words correctly, but he could not spell the fifth word “kettle”. Seeing Gandhi’s hesitation, the teacher made a sign behind the Inspector’s back that he should copy the word from his neighbor’s slate. But Gandhi ignored his signs. The other boys wrote all the five words correctly; Gandhi wrote only four. After the Inspector left, the teacher scolded him. “I told you to copy from your neighbor，” he said angrily. “Couldn’t you even do that correctly?” Everyone laughed. As he went home that evening, Gandhi was not unhappy. He knew he had done the right thing. What made him sad was that his teacher should asked him to cheat. |
