Ritesh – I was walking to school as usual, I was half way down the narrow lane that leads to the market. Suddenly, I heard a scream from the main road. Mrs. Sen – And of course, you had to investigate! Ritesh – Yes, madam, I had to find out if someone needed help. And sure enough, there was this person lying near the pavement-he was groaning with pain. Mrs. Sen – So, you took him to Dr. Jadhav. Ritesh – No, Ma’am I didn’t get the chance. Just as I reached that man, another man came running out of the shop there, with a packet in his hand. And the shopkeeper also ran out shouting “chor! Chor! catch him! Mrs. Sen – Amazing! Quite a handful for you to deal with and all at once! What did you do then? Ritesh – Yes, Ma’am, but the most amazing thing happened then. That man near the pavement he too got up and began to run with the thief. Without losing a moment, I ran after them. Mrs. Sen – And then you caught them and took them to the police station!
