A small quarrel

People these days have become quite quarrelsome. They
have little tolerance and small incidents which should be
accepted with a smile can make them lose their tempers.
Quarrelling have become more and frequent. I have
personally witnessed a quarrel.

My friends and I were at the park. There was also a small
field for the children. I saw two boys quarrelling over a ball.
I tried to stop them; to my surprise, I saw two ladies
approaching. I thought they were going to thank me for
having stopped the boys from quarrelings. Instead of
thanking me and take their kids home, they started
quarrelling themselves. They started screaming at each
other.

The passers-by were astounded and soon gathered
around, none tried to stop them. Instead some added fuel
to the fire by their comments. Soon they seemed to be
exhausted by their verbal warfare and were about to
exchange blows when suddenly two policemen appeared.

The policemen refused to listen and in their authoritative
manner, silenced the both of them. The police questioned
them about the fight. To everyone’s surprise, they pointed
to me as the witness and alleged that one of the boys had
taken the other’s ball. The police looked at me for an
answer. I tried to explain that I was in no way concerned.
Suddenly one of the policemen pointed at the two boys
who were now playing happily and not paying much

attention to what was going nearby. The two women were
ashamed of themselves and left immediately.

Talk about a quarrel among friends.

I saw John and Rajoo shouting at each other near the
school field. A few students had gathered around them. I
walked towards them so that I could find out what was
happening.

John appeared to be angrier than Rajoo. He kept saying
that his composition was the better one, and that it was
not fair. Whenever John shouted at him, Rajoo also lost
his patience and shouted back. He said that John was a
bad loser.

After listening for a while, I gathered that the argument
was about the prize for the best English composition in
class. Rajoo had won it. But John felt that his composition
was better and that Rajoo had won it because he was the
favorite of Miss Chan, the English teacher. Of course,
Rajoo denied this and was angry at John for making the
accusation.

Their argument grew louder and a student called Miss
Chan to the scene. When she arrived, she scolded them
for making such a commotion, and asked them what the
argument was about. When they had finished explaining,
she turned to John and told him that his accusation was
unfair. There were two other teachers besides Miss Chan

who judged the compositions. John’s composition was a
close second to Rajoo’s.

Miss Chan added that they were both good students and
that she was proud of them. Rajoo’s winning composition
would appear in the yearbook representing the class.
Since John’s composition was very good, she would try to
include his in the yearbook as well.

Both boys seemed to accept Miss Chan’s explanation.
John then apologized to Rajoo for shouting at him. Rajoo
accepted his apology and offered his hand. John grasped
it and, with friendly smiles on their face, they shook hands.
