ceremony of Farabi`s school.
“Yesterday was our school prize-giving day,” Farabi says. “On this occasion our school auditorium and its dais were
brightly decorated. Prizes were also neatly displayed on a separate table on the dais. All the students were present at
the function. Among others, the guardians and some eminent persons of the locality attended the function”. Farabi
“When did the function start?” Flora asked.
“Oh, it started on time-just at 4 pm.” Farabi says. “Our Head teacher first read out the annual report. Then the Chief

exam results. Then he gave away the prizes among the students for their outstanding activities.”
