Miss. Gopa Bhattacharya was the classteacher of class 2A.She was everyone's favourite,always smiling and fun-loving.

One fine day,during English period,Gopa Miss came to the class and announced,"Your English teacher is absent today.I will be your substitute teacher....please write 5 sentences about your favourite food and submit it to me."And with that,everyone started putting all their literary skills to use in order to impress their favourite teacher.

Few days later.....

"Students,today I will be reading out your precious compositions to the entire class,"Gopa Miss started,"first comes Shrayan."

Shrayan:1)My favourite food is water.2)Water is life.3)Life is water.4)I always feel like drinking water.5)Everyone should save water.

"Now my favourite.....Soukanta's essay"

1)My favourite food is Hot dog.2)I can do anything for having a Hot Dog.3)The Hotdog from Mio Amore is my favourite.4)Tomorrow I am going to Mio Amore with my parents to have Hot dog.5)But even then,I am feeling like crying because I can't take Gopa Miss with me.

"And lastly,Ritankar's essay"

1)My favourite food is egg.2)One can eat eggs in different ways.3)Omelette is one of my favourite preparations.4)I also like scrambled eggs and egg curry.5)I eat 5 eggs per day.


After the class was done with their delirious laughter,Gopa Miss patiently said,"Dear children,I completely understand that you all will be great food critics some day.These aren't mere compositions dear....these are time bombs."






[P.S.:Everyone had written something or the other but obviously,I don't remember.Our English teacher wasn't absent.Our Bengali teacher was,so we wrote those 5 lines in Bengali.And yes,Ritankar, owing to his diet of 5 eggs per day,is still called 'PanchtaDim'.PanchtaDim in Bengali means 5 eggs.]
