Dear Swathi, 

It is a long time since I have written to you. If I have taken the pen to write to you, it is owing to the fact that I am greatly excited over a brave deed I witnessed this noon and feel the urge to share my excitement with you.

You know, it was at three in the afternoon when I was returning home that I witnessed a spine-chilling incident. Do you remember that there is a branch of State Bank of Mysore on my way to school? Just as I had reached the spot, I saw a woman coming out of the bank with a handbag. Suddenly, from nowhere, a masked man appeared wielding a knife and snatched the bag from the lady’s hand.

Though it was broad daylight and though the lady kept shouting for help, no one went anywhere near the man as he had a knife. But, you will be surprised to know that a little boy of ten sprinted towards the man and as he was too small to tackle the huge man, he clung to his feet making it impossible for the man to run. Even as the man kicked and bruised the boy, the boy held on and inspired by his heroism, a few others took courage and overpowered the criminal.

From this courageous deed of the boy, I have learned that each of us can make a difference. have taken the contact details of the boy and have decided to honour him on our school day with the permission of our Headmaster.

If possible, please come over. I will give you the details later. Hope everything is fine at your end. Hope to meet you soon. With warm regards,

Yours 

Kirthi
