One dy, Manu said to the Bose, "Have you seen the notice board? There is competition to be held next week. No, I haven't seen the notice board." "I don't know the topic. Tell me, What is the topic?", Manu said. "It's about cricket and you know what is the prize for the winner? It's a cricket gear", Bose said. "Oh! cricket gear, I will take part in it". Manu said, "Me too. We have to write a two-page essay on the game cricket and submit it by Monday next week." O! Monday, we have still five days for that, a lot of time. said Bose lazily. Manu said, "But we need to collect the articles, let's go to the library tomorrow." The next day Manu went to call Bose but he refused to come with him saying that he was going to play. He told that Saturday is holiday. So, he will go to library that day.

Manu wrote article on Cricket and submitted it on Friday itself while Bose planned to submit it on Monday. On Monday, Bose was late to school by half an hour. He rushed to the teacher to submit his article. The teacher told him to keep the aticle on her table and go to his class. In the evening the teacher called the Bose and informed that his article could not be accepted as he submitted it late. She also told him that his article was wonderufl one and better than Manu.
