A small quarrel People these days have become quite quarrelsome. They have little tolerance and small incidents which should be accepted with a smile can make them lose their tempers. Quarrelling have become more and frequent. I have personally witnessed a quarrel. My friends and I were at the park. There was also a small field for the children. I saw two boys quarrelling over a ball. I tried to stop them; to my surprise, I saw two ladies approaching. I thought they were going to thank me for having stopped the boys from quarrelings. Instead of thanking me and take their kids home, they started quarrelling themselves. They started screaming at each other. The passers-by were astounded and soon gathered around, none tried to stop them. Instead some added fuel to the fire by their comments. Soon they seemed to be exhausted by their verbal warfare and were about to exchange blows when suddenly two policemen appeared. The policemen refused to listen and in their authoritative manner, silenced the both of them. The police questioned them about the fight. To everyone’s surprise, they pointed to me as the witness and alleged that one of the boys had taken the other’s ball. The police looked at me for an answer. I tried to explain that I was in no way concerned. Suddenly one of the policemen pointed at the two boys who were now playing happily and not paying much attention to what was going nearby. The two women were ashamed of themselves and left immediately. Talk about a quarrel among friends. I saw John and Rajoo shouting at each other near the school field. A few students had gathered around them. I walked towards them so that I could find out what was happening. John appeared to be angrier than Rajoo. He kept saying that his composition was the better one, and that it was not fair. Whenever John shouted at him, Rajoo also lost his patience and shouted back. He said that John was a bad loser. After listening for a while, I gathered that the argument was about the prize for the best English composition in class. Rajoo had won it. But John felt that his composition was better and that Rajoo had won it because he was the favorite of Miss Chan, the English teacher. Of course, Rajoo denied this and was angry at John for making the accusation. Their argument grew louder and a student called Miss Chan to the scene. When she arrived, she scolded them for making such a commotion, and asked them what the argument was about. When they had finished explaining, she turned to John and told him that his accusation was unfair. There were two other teachers besides Miss Chan who judged the compositions. John’s composition was a close second to Rajoo’s. Miss Chan added that they were both good students and that she was proud of them. Rajoo’s winning composition would appear in the yearbook representing the class. Since John’s composition was very good, she would try to include his in the yearbook as well. Both boys seemed to accept Miss Chan’s explanation. John then apologized to Rajoo for shouting at him. Rajoo accepted his apology and offered his hand. John grasped it and, with friendly smiles on their face, they shook hands. . playing happily and not paying much attention to what was going nearby.
