Unexpected Twist

Once upon a time, during my last college semester, I found myself in a tense situation. Tomorrow was my final math exam, and I wanted to do well. But there was a problem that made me worried.

The night before the exam, I was studying science when my mother came in and told me I got the date sheet wrong. She said the next day’s exam was math, not science. But I didn’t listen and kept studying science, thinking I knew better.

On the morning of the exam, I felt uneasy. I had a feeling something was off, but I tried to ignore it and stayed focused on science. Just before going to the exam hall, a friend rushed to me.

“Hey, Isha! Are you ready for the math exam?” he asked, looking puzzled.

“What? No, it’s the science exam today,” I replied confidently, dismissing his concern.

“No, no! You got it wrong. Today is the math exam. I saw the date sheet last night,” he exclaimed.

My heart sank, and I got even more worried. How could I make such a mistake? Panic set in, and I wondered how I could fix the situation.

I quickly found my mother and told her what my friend said. She looked concerned but tried to reassure me. “Isha, don’t worry. Maybe you still have time to review the math topics. Stay calm and do your best.”

With her words in mind, I rushed to the exam hall. I was very anxious, and my hands were shaking when I received the question paper. I had two hours to handle the math exam that I wasn’t fully prepared for.

I took a deep breath and focused on what I knew. I wrote down all the formulas and equations I remembered and started with the first question. Surprisingly, my memory helped, and I felt more confident.

As I went through the paper, my confidence grew. Despite the mix-up, I realized I knew more math than I thought, thanks to my science studies. I tackled the problems with determination.

With a few minutes left, I quickly checked my answers to avoid any big mistakes. As time ran out, I felt relieved. Though not ideal, I did my best in the situation I was in.

The days after the exam were filled with anxiety and anticipation. I couldn’t stop thinking about how I handled the unexpected challenge. Eventually, the results came, and I was pleasantly surprised to see I did better than expected.

I felt a sense of accomplishment. Despite the initial mix-up, I managed the math exam well. It taught me to pay attention to details and not be too confident. I learned that in tough situations, with determination and a calm mind, we can overcome challenges and find success.

The Lady Or The Tiger I Student Sargun Chhabra I Creative Writing Program

An original mysterious tale, written by our student Sargun Chhabra.

Sargun is a student in Grade 8 studying at the prestigious Asian World School, Jaipur. We are proud to have her as a student of the Creative Writing Program through Applied Storytelling under the mentorship of Trainer Khusshbo Chokhaani. We congratulate Sargun for this exemplary true self-expression.

The Lady or the Tiger

The king entered and sat on his throne when all the people assembled in the court. He gave a signal, a door on the left side of the court opened, and the accused subject stepped out into the amphitheater. Directly, opposite the accused were two doors, exactly alike and side by side. The accused could get either door open as he pleased. If he desired, to open one door, there came out a hungry tiger, which would immediately spring upon him and make a lovely feast. However, if he opened the other door, there came forth a lady, the most suitable to his years and he was immediately married.
This institution was a very popular one. When the people gathered together on one of the great trial days, they never knew whether they were to witness a bloody slaughter or a hilarious wedding. This element of uncertainty lent an interest to the occasion.
Now, this king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies. She was the apple of his eye and was loved by him above all. Among his courtiers was a young man of that fineness of blood but a low caste. This royal maiden was well satisfied with this man and she loved him with immense passion. When the king found out, the youth was immediately cast into prison and a day was appointed for his trial in the arena. Never, before had a case occurred to have a subject dared to love the daughter of the king.
The appointed day arrived. From far and near the people gathered in the great galleries. The king and his courtiers were in their places. As the youth entered the arena. His eyes were fixed on the princess. She knew in which of the two doors, stood the tiger. And not only did she know in which room the lady was ready to emerge. The lady was one of the fairest and loveliest of the court who had been selected as the reward. The girl was lovely, but she hated her with all the intensity of the savage blood.
The youth had expected the princess to know in which door was the tiger and in which door was the lady. The only hope for the youth in which there was an element of certainty was based upon the success of the princess in discovering this mystery and the moment he looked upon her, he saw she had succeeded, as in his soul he knew he would succeed. Then it was his quick and anxious glance: Which door? It was as plain to her as if he shouted it from where he stood. There was not an instant to be lost. The question was asked in a flash, it must be answered in another.
Her right arm lay on the cushioned parapet before her. She raised her hand and made a slight, quick movement toward the right. No one but the man saw her. Every eye was fixed on the man in the arena.
He turned and with a firm and rapid step, he walked across the space. Everybody’s heart started beating rapidly, every breath was held, and every eye was fixed immovably upon that man. Without the slightest hesitation, he went to the door on the right and opened it.
What do you think? Who would have come out? Did the tiger come out of that door, or did the lady?
