Swami and Friends Chapter-8 Summary
Swami and Friends
Swami and Friends: This chapter deals with the approach of the annual examination, and the trouble it meant for Swami. Six months had passed since the arrival of the new brother. Swami's father wanted Swami to devote more time to his studies.
His father made a lot of fuss and made Swami study for long hours. At school, the examination fever seems to have possessed in all his friends. They hardly exchange words as they were busy with exam's preparation. It was rumoured that the clerk knew all about the question paper.
So Mani visited him with a gift of brinjals and went to the extent of asking him directly about the question papers. His answer was vague and general, but Mani was fully satisfied. He told what he knew to Swami, and prepared accordingly.
