In plain words
I gave my word that I would surely help. On the day of the examination we had to sit very far apart from one another. That was how our roll numbers fell. “If Rāju were near, he would help us. But he is sitting far away! What are we to do now?” they wept. “Do not be afraid; be brave,” I signalled to them with my eyes. Those who came to ruin by not believing in God are there in crores. But there is not one who came to ruin by believing. Those who believe will surely win success. But man today does not believe in God. “Without the two eyes called faith, men on earth have become blind.”
In the examination hall they themselves handed out the papers. We were not allowed to take anything in. Ramesh and Suresh sat in their places and pretended to be writing something. On the paper handed out first I quickly wrote fine answers. I wrote my number and name on it, folded it and kept it by my side. Taking another paper, I wrote fine answers in Ramesh's handwriting and wrote his name and number on it. In the same way, on yet another paper, I wrote fine answers in Suresh's handwriting. I kept these three papers right with me. Just then they rang the bell. “Time is up. Hand in your papers,” the teachers urged. Ramesh and Suresh were looking towards me. I made a sign to them to go out. The children rose together in a crowd. In that bustle there was no way to make out who was handing in which paper. Ramesh and Suresh went out. I myself carried the papers of the three of us and put them on the table. Later the examination results came out. Only the three of us got a first class. That Ramesh and Suresh too had got a first class astonished the teachers and the children. The two boys came to me: “If anyone asks us any question, what answer are we to give?” they wept. “Say that the answers came then, but are not coming now. If you say it this way, I belong to you and you are mine,” I said. They did just as I told them. Whoever asked, they said they had written it themselves. Going by our roll numbers, we had sat very far from one another in the examination hall.
