When I was in the third standard, I used to believe that the very top floor of our school was for teachers to have their meetings and sleep and party and all sorts of stuff. I thought that students who went up there either got a nice prize or a nasty beating. When the 5th students and the 6th students went up to their classes, I though that such a lot of kids were very bad and a lot of them very good. Now I'm in the fifth standard, on the third floor. Now I know that teachers have real homes; I was so embarrassed!
