Why Pen leaks in Our Pockets?

 Written by: Wajiha Sayar

First Lane:

Halima is crying near a stream. Her brother, Sami asks the reason. Halima says that her school shawl is dirty with pen ink and it could not be removed. Meanwhile, peddler arrives and they welcome him. Peddler asks the reason for Halima’s crying. Sami share the issue with him.

Peddler says some other students also face the same problem and he brings out the magic mirror from his bag and then he shows some students on it.

A boy, Zubair says: “my pen leaked in my pocket and the stains could not be remove from my school shirt.”

Lailuma says: “my ink bottle was leaked in my school bag and it caused stains on my books and notebooks.”

Halima asks the causes of pen leakage. Peddler shows them some other students on the mirror.

Safiullah says: “I had not tightened the cover of my ink bottle correctly and it was spread in my school bag.”

A boy says: “I have put my ball pen backward in my pocket and it caused the ball pen to leak in my pocket.”

Peddler puts the mirror back in his bag. Halima asks about the solution of this issue.

Peddler asks her to come with Sami to in front of the school and he goes to the next lane.

Second Lane:

Peddler and his rabbit visit some students in front of the school. Rabbit asks a boy, Latif to show his hands. Rabbit says that why his hands and his shirt’s pocket are dirty with ink. Latif says that he had put his pin backward in his pocket and it caused the pen’s leakage.

Peddler says that if they do not break the bottom of the pen, it might not be leaked.

Rabbit says that she always puts her pen in her school bag pocket.

Maliha says that she put some cotton inside the cap of the ink bottle and then tighten it.

Peddler gives a mathematic box to each of them and asks them to put their pens and ink bottles inside the mathematic box and he wants to go to the next lane but Latif says the following joke: “a boy says to his friend he could never forget anything that is in his mind. His friend asked that then why he has forgotten his loan. The boy says that the money goes to his pocket not his mind.”

Peddler likes the joke and goes the other lane.
