Passage 6 

Language Section   (2018)

        In April, just two weeks before the examinations, Swami realized that his father was changing - for the worse. He was becoming fussy and difficult. When Swami was seen chatting with his granny, he was told, "Remember boy, there is an examination. Your granny can wait, not your examination." If he was seen moving behind his mother, he was caught and sent to his desk. If his voice was heard anywhere after the Taluka Office gong had struck nine, a command would come form his father's room, "Swami, why haven't you gone to bed yet? You must get up early and study a bit." One day, he asked his father, "Why are you so nervous about my examination?"
